We are super super excited that today is the very first day of October and you know what that means right? HALLOWEEN!!! Having lunch with a friend last week, she asked us how we managed to stay colorful for the autumnal weather and whilst we admit it is a bit more of a challenge, bright bold colours are definitely are in for fall!
This got us thinking about weddings and how we could apply our love of colour to autumn/ winter weddings, so where better to start than with pumpkins. We have scoured the web for 12 of our favourite colorful pumpkin DIY’s and we promise there is not an ounce of orange in sight.
1. Pastel Pumpkin Cookies: For any of you that may be unfamiliar with the work of Deanna from Obsessive Cookie Designer, she is a cookie extraordinaire, making fancy custom sugar cookies for all to enjoy. These candy colored pumpkin cookies are a daydream and the perfect way to see in one of our favourite holidays.

2. Painted Mini Pumpkins: So mini pumpkins are just the cutest right, especially when painted in such fun colours! Don’t you think these would make awesome table decorations at a wedding, or even as little place name holders, oh, I would have so much fun with these!

3. Sequin Polka Dot Pumpkins: Polka dots are pretty much my favourite pattern so imagine my excitement when I saw it on a pumpkin! The gold against the white is so pretty and classy, whilst the sequins add a touch of glamour making it a great decor choice for a wedding.

10. Pastel Painted Pumpkins: Who said fall had to be all about dark browns and burnt oranges? We certainly don’t buy into all that. These brightly colored pumpkins are here to prove that pastels in Autumn are the new best thing. Idea for a unique table runner maybe? I think so…

11. Marbled Pumpkins: One of my favourite trends this year has been marble. Honestly I want to marble anything I can get my hands on, thankfully the cats have remained safe but anything that sits still long enough will be treated and I have a feeling pumpkins will be my next experiment.
