Elegant Fall Party Decor : Pink and Gold Pumpkins

Today's post is look back into the archives with two of my favorite photos for fall party decor ideas. Since it's still fall, wouldn't it be fun to decorate for a bridal shower or engagement party with painted pumpkins? How about pumpkins that are painted pink, white and gold and displayed on candlesticks? Maybe even hollow out a few pumpkins and use them as vases for beautiful floral arrangements? How about having an elegant fall wedding and lining the center of the tables with gold pumpkins and pine cones on a burlap runner?

What about an elegant fall wedding with gold pumpkins and pine cones lining the center of the tables on a burlap runner? Bringing in elements from fall {pumpkins} and winter {pinecones} is a great way to bridge the gap between the two seasons.

9 Fun & Stylish Ideas for Halloween Weddings + a Printable Invitation

With Halloween coming soon I wanted to gather ideas together for a stylish Halloween wedding. {of course these ideas work for any Halloween party, not just weddings} Simply start with black and white as the base color palette and then you can add punches of color - purple, orange and even bright green are all great choices for Halloween. How perfect is the downloadable "Dim the Lights and Keep Moving" poster for a wedding reception? I also love the idea of a more intimate wedding where you would marry in-front of a decorated mantle or an antique piano, like the one shown below. And, as an added bonus, I've created a downloadable Halloween Party Invitation. Simply download and fill in the blanks and then mail to all your guests {sized as a 4x6}. Looking for an invitation for a different party? Please contact me thru my etsy shop for a custom design.
