Autumn Wedding Centerpiece

Here is our autumn wedding centerpiece. Since our wedding was in October I thought it would be fun to use white pumpkins! I believe it added a unique touch and was fun for people to take home with them.

It was quite simple - my mom did the whole thing. She bought yards of burnt orange fabric, cut and sewed it into squares. Then all you need to do is fan out some berries from Hobby Lobby/Michaels and add white pumpkins - any size will work, but we found smaller ones to be the cutest. You can use any table number - we painted wooden frames for this.




Autumn Wedding Cake

For our wedding cake, I wanted to stick with our autumn theme. Fortunately our friend offered to make it for free! She sweetly kept it simple as we requested and put a fun pumpkin on the bottom. Our florist, Dawn's Creations, added flowers - orange and cymbidium orchids, and cream lilies. This matched my bouquet.




Autumn Wedding Flowers

I had so much fun planning the flowers for my wedding! I went with an autumn theme and used Dawn's Creations as my florist. I came in with about 10 pages of Pinterest ideas. Fortunately she let me choose my own flowers! We settled on cream mini calla lilies, orange cymbidiums and burgundy berries. She very smartly suggested that we use these same flowers for the boutonnieres and corsages.  As you can see below we choose slightly different choices for each person, such as different for the groom and the best man.
