Autumn and All of It's Inspirations

I have to say that Autumn, or Fall is my 2nd favorite season. #1 will always be Winter. The cool breeze that starts to whip at your hair in the afternoons, the brilliant multitude of colors dancing around in the tree branches, going apple and pumpkin picking with the kids; then coming home and making caramel apples and fresh pumpkin pie with the day's bounty. I think it's all so beautiful! And there is something about the harvest time of year that just brings me a sense of peace. I've been looking through a lot of magazines and website for fall-themed wedding inspiration and I found a few pictures that really made me smile.

The cake pictured was decorated with ornamental gourds and seasonal fruit. (Sweet Traditions of Princeton, NJ)

Miniature pumpkins as place card holders are a sweet accessory to any Fall or Halloween themed wedding! Here, the place cards are trimmed in a black "scalloped" pattern.

As a centerpiece, a beautiful white pumpkin is hollowed out and filled with gorgeous yellow, orange, and champagne roses, and orange calla lilies. It's surrounded by smaller pumpkins, gourds, and votive candles in orange holders. A very classic and earthy design.

Later on this week, I will showcase bridal fashions, foods, and table scapes inspired by the wonderful colors of the harvest. But for now I have to run; I have a fresh apple pie coming out of the oven right now!

If you have any ideas that you would like for me to touch on, please feel free to leave them in our comments. We always look forward to hearing from everyone.

Have a great night everyone.
