Decorating With Pumpkins

I am sure I have said this before, but the Fall is my FAVORITE season.  I love the weather, the colors of the leaves, the wardrobe, and also the PUMPKINS!  Since, Joel and I have decided to plan our wedding for the Fall of 2013, I've been scouring magazines and blogs looking for ideas to incorporate for a beautiful Fall wedding.  One thing I have found to be such a great idea is using pumpkins as decoration. 

I saw this great idea in The Knot Magazine.  Carving pumpkins with their names is such a simple and cute idea.  It is the perfect backdrop for their Candy Bar.

I love this idea from Ceci Style.  Pumpkins as place cards are such a cute idea.  And I love how they painted these mini pumpkins silver to create a "Luxe Look."

I love the amazing detail of this Stenciled Pumpkin that I saw on Masterpiece Wedding.  Check out Better Homes & Gardens to learn how to make your own.

Then, I fell in love with this wedding that I saw on Grey Likes Weddings.  I love the color palette

that they used, so perfect for the fall! And the pumpkins are the perfect touch.  I also love how

they used pumpkins as table numbers, check them out here.

I love these sparkly, glittery pumpkins that I saw on The Glitter Guide.  They are so much fun and so cute to use as decoration at a wedding or just at home.  Learn how to make them here.

O wow, how I love white pumpkins.  They are the perfect touch for an elegant fall wedding. They are so pretty! I love how they were used in this beautiful wedding on Hello to Hitched.  To see even more pictures check out the full wedding on The Bridal Bar.

All Things Dylan

When it comes to candy, Dylan Lauren has got to be Queen of Candyland.  From her store, to her Bridal Shower, to her Wedding, what is not to love? Since the first time, I was in Dylan’s Candy Bar, I was obsessed.  I LOVEEE CANDY!

She even recently opened a Bar at the NYC store, check out the drink menu here.
I cannot wait to go!!!!

From the moment that I heard that she was engaged, I couldn't wait to see pictures of her wedding, but one afternoon a few months ago I was flipping through my newest copy of Martha Stewart Weddings and was sooooo excited to come across her

AMAZING bridal shower!

I am so in love with the LemonDrop & Bubble-Gum Martini Cocktails, the Strawberry Chocolate Bar Invitations from Chocolate Editions by Mary & Matt with illustrations by Darcy Miller herself, and the AWESOME pink & red candy bar!!

Cinderella Inspired Birthday Party

I have had an obsession with Cinderella since forever!  I was so excited when I saw this post on Hostess with the Mostess. I would have loved this adorable birthday party; I secretly wish I could still have one like this!  Andrea from Dolce Drive put this amazing party together for her daughter, Sabrina's Birthday.  What a lucky little girl!

You can find the awesome paper products on Dolce Drive Shop on Etsy.

I love all of the perfect little details, especially the beautiful pumpkin carriage below with Sabirna's initial.

This cake from My Sweet Lady is perfect along with the awesome cookies from Allyson Jane and Sweet Dough and the cute little princess pops from Terri's Treaures.

Anthropologie & BHLDN Wedding Inspiration Shoot

I saw this BEAUTIFUL wedding inspiration shoot on Style Unveiled.  They had asked Heather from Estera Events to put together a tablescape inspired by Anthropologie & BHLDN and she put together this amazing shoot. It is truly gorgerous.  It is the perfect amount of color, sparkle, and vintage.  My favorite elements are the sequined table linen by Nuage Designs, the mercury glass vehicles from Fleur Chicago , and the beautiful carnations and roses by Estera Events . Check it out on Style Unveiled for even more amazing pictures and a great video of Heather and her team setting up for the photoshoot.  I am in obsession mode!

Scrabble

I am loving the trend of using Scrabble tiles as part of wedding decor.  I love playing Scrabble with Joel and I think its such a cute way to share and incorporate something you love doing together in your wedding.  Here are some of my favorite inspirational photos

The first is Tammy Golson's Table at the Wedding Crashers Show at The Bell House in Brooklyn.
