Gray is one of my absolute favorite colors, which I’m sure many of you know by now. Gray is so very modern, and pink is so incredibly chic! The two colors together would make for a very stylish event!

I wish I had seen the versatility of gray sooner…aka a year ago when I was planning my wedding! Don’t the colors come together perfectly? Is anyone else currently sharing my love for all things gray?

I coordinated my very first wedding on my own this weekend! It was a rustic fall theme (Pictures to come soon via Studio 222 Photography!), and it thankfully got cooler the day OF the wedding, so it truly did feel like fall! That being said, I was surround by pumpkins being used as decor for a considerable amount of time this weekend. Therefore, I felt it appropriate to do a seasonal DIY post just for pumpkins!

Now of course you can go the traditional route and carve your pumpkin. There are stencils that you can download and print out, or you can even create your own!

However, when wanting to use your pumpkin for a nice bit of decor, I think stenciling a design onto the pumpkin would be great! Twig and Thistle recently posted a link to a tutorial from Better Homes and Garden of “How to Make a Stenciled Pumpkin” using a doily.

It’s so very pretty, so if you haven’t already carved your pumpkin, try this out! My husband unfortunately demolished our pumpkin and made pie out of it already, so if you try it out, let me know!

Now if you REALLY want to use pumpkins for decor, these glittered pumpkins are amazing!

My bride from this weekend used some of these as decor elements, and they were so pretty! They would be perfect for a Halloween party! You can find the tutorial here on Martha Stewart’s website.

Does anyone have any other ideas for how to use pumpkins as decor?

Something that I thought never belonged at a wedding is now incredibly stylish and chic- when used in the right way. Balloons have been popping up all over weddings and engagement photos, and I’m loving it! These balloons aren’t used exclusively for decor, they’re used more as props. And of course bigger and rounder is better!

Do these photos make you want to get a giant, brightly colored balloon and take pictures or what? Is anyone thinking of using balloons or any other prop for their engagement or wedding photographs?
