Fall is a splendid time of year… and even though my beloved flowers are getting tired and faded, there are still many opportunities for decorating and creating a delightful entertaining space.
I love to entertain and decorate for all occasions. Each season has its special ‘natural’ elements that are readily available. We just need to be creative and utilize them!
Here are a few ideas on how to decorate with gourds and pumpkins… some of mine as well as others.
This is my table center piece. The two greenish-orange squash on either side were surprises my little boys found me yesterday behind the barn.
Using a hollowed out pumpkin to place a potted mum or aster in is a quick way to add fast ‘WOW!’ effect.
Incorporating bittersweet and other branches of fall colored leaves, like burning bush is a great accent.
What is your favorite thing about fall? Leave me a comment and let me know!
Happy Fall y’all!
Jean
