13 Elegant Pumpkin Décor Ideas to Spice Up Your Fall Wedding ⋆ Viet Wedding

Nothing signifies the arrival of autumn like the sight of pumpkins at the farmers market and on neighborhood doorsteps. And naturally, this round, seasonal produce also fits seamlessly into fall wedding décor, from 3-D wedding cake details to organic aisle accents. But you don’t have to have a downright rustic celebration to pull off pumpkins—the versatile fruit comes in a range of sizes and colors (even white and pretty pastels), which means you’re free to tuck them subtly into centerpieces or bring them boldly into the forefront of your space. See 13 elegant ways to include pumpkins in your wedding right here.
