If you’re looking for last minute Halloween decor inspiration, or you’re needing some inspiration for your upcoming Thanksgiving table setting, this blog post has GOT YOU COVERED. We’re sharing our top seven ways to decorate with pumpkins, and believe us when we say this: you won’t need to go anywhere else. And once you’ve got your inspiration fix, head over to Garden Valley Farmers Market and let us help your ideas come to fruition with our AMAZING selection of pumpkins, corn stalks, and hay bells.
Tablescape/Table Setting
Whether creating your spooky Halloween centerpiece, mapping out your gorgeous Thanksgiving table runner, or setting your Friendsgiving place card holders, pumpkins are an amazing and unique way to add character to your table for your friends and family to gather around. You can paint them any color that matches your theme, and have the option of any size to fit any space perfectly.
Fireplace/Mantle
Pumpkins are the PERFECT addition to your fireplace, because they can be enjoyed all season long for both Halloween AND Thanksgiving. You can line the mantle, place them sporadically on the hearth, or even stack them IN THE ACTUAL fireplace. There are so many options, and the hard part is choosing just ONE.
Front Porch
The front porch is a very common place to pumpkins, and that’s because it’s the first thing that you and your guests see when arriving home. It’s a place that sets the tone of your home’s environment, and we HIGHLY recommend starting here with your pumpkin decor. Whether you’re lining the front steps, or placing them in chairs or buckets, it’s sure to leave your guests feeling all the cozy vibes this Autumn season.
Shelves
Adding pumpkins to your shelf, kitchen island, or bookshelf are perfect ways to invite Halloween and Thanksgiving decor into your home. Have fun with it by grouping a bunch of small pumpkins into a bowl; you could also place them neatly around a vase with a fall themed floral arrangement. Whatever your style, pumpkins are an easy and cheap way to incorporate an Autumn feel into your home.
Stairwell
Ever thought about adding pumpkins to your stairs? You’re welcome. You can make it simple, elaborate, or somewhere in between, but adding them to this area can really make a huge impact on the sometimes forgotten areas of your home.
Also, this would be a REALLY great statement at a Fall wedding.
Photo Shoots
You can always come to Garden Valley Farmers Market and take some family photos at one of our photo booths. BUT, if you’re wanting to have your shoot at a different location, you can create your own gorgeous styled masterpiece by grabbing a few hay bells, pumpkins, and corn stalks. Pumpkins are a great prop and make great decorations for your styled shoot, family photos, engagement session, or pregnancy announcements.
Parties/Weddings
Last but not least, pumpkins make GREAT party decorations. Whether using them as buckets for drinks, creating a “pumpkin patch” for your one year old, having a “gratitude pumpkin” for Thanksgiving, or setting up a pumpkin carving station of your guests, they are sure to leave your party “the talk of the town”.
