I think I mentioned my wedding date in my first post, but for those who missed it, I'm getting married on October 30, 2010 (aka Devil's Night).This wasn't completely intentional, but I'll get into that later. Anyway, since we'll be wed on Devil's night and party into Halloween, it was important for us to have some inspired decor.
It's fairly difficult to do a Halloween inspired wedding without entering into gaudy territory, but I think one of the easiest ways to do this is to use natural decor elements, such as pumpkins, flowers and branches (i.e. manzanita).
Pumpkins will be a very important part of our wedding decor. But can you do jack-o-lanterns without being tacky? I give you my inspiration.
How about some monogrammed pumpkins? My FH loves carving (he usually carves 2-4 pumpkins each Halloween) so this would be do-able.

We'll definitely have more than one monogrammed pumpkin; probably a few at the entrance of the ceremony/reception hall and then one up at the front of the ceremony room. In addition to the monogrammed pumpkins, I'd also like some 'mini' pumpkins.

I'd also like to do some white and black painted pumpkins to go with our white and black colour scheme. I am in love with the damask pumpkin!

And finally, I'll have to cover the mantle (and perhaps the hearth) of the fireplace in our reception hall with pumpkins. Though I'd probably change the "RIP" banner and the "BOO" pumpkin message to something a little more wedding-y, like I DO.

So what do you think? Too much pumpkin, or just enough?
