I personally love Fall weddings and the warmer decor hues that they summon. I love a Fall bride that does not shy away from palletes of orange, golden yellow and/or red. But what I love even more is a bride who is not afraid to incorporate natural elements into her wedding design. As you may know by now, I love to veer from the norm when it comes to decor and design.
With this season comes the presence of pumpkins! There are so many ways that you can incorporate pumpkins into your wedding. What makes pumpkins such excellent choices for Fall weddings is their versatile use (thanks to their variation in size and color).
The most obvious use for pumpkins in a wedding is for decor. They can be placed along the ends of aisles at the ceremony, used as a part of the table centerpiece or simply grouped and used as a part of an unique altar arrangement. You can use the pumpkins in their natural state or painted such colors as gold or white.
Another unique use for pumpkins in a wedding are as place card or escort card holders. Elegant tags with your guests’ names scribed on them may be tied onto miniature pumpkins to assist in seating and/or serve as favors. This is definitely an unique way to tie in the Fall theme of a wedding.
A more unique way of using a pumpkin in a wedding is as a ring bearer “pillow.” Instead of using the traditional pillow, your ring bearer will bring in your wedding rings tied to a pumpkin. The pumpkin stem may be adorned with beautiful ribbons of your wedding colors. The rings would then be attached to the pumpkin by elegantly secured ribbons as well.
I am quite sure there are many more possibilities of uses for pumpkins in Fall weddings, it only takes a matter of good picking and a great imagination!

I am a “creative” which has its advantages as well as disadvantages. There are always so many ideas that are swirling through my mind at any given time, but unfortunately there’s not enough hours in a day to always execute them.
My first love has always been art. Truth be told, that is how I was introduced into event design/planning world. Recently, I have been revisiting my first love more often. Now don’t get me wrong, I am designing for my clients all of the time but I rarely get to enjoy my work for myself.
Well, I have recently decided to go back to basics and take out time to enjoy the one thing that brings me pleasure and relaxation- my own personal art projects. I have a special project that I’m working on which I can’t quite share as of yet, but in the meantime I will share just a taste of my recent sketches. Stay tuned to find out how I will be making more memories…

inYesterday I had the pleasure of attending one of my favorite annual events, the Virginia Town Point Wine Festival. My friends and I usually reserve a table for this event, with every person bringing a food item. We definitely make a feast out of the event!
I don’t have time to post all of the pictures so I chose some of the most memorable ones.
