It’s wedding time!
My brother-in-law and soon to be sister-in-law are finally getting married after 10 years of dating! WOO HOO! My husband and I are both in the wedding party, along with all of our brother and sister-in-laws. You can only imagine the excitement we are all having over this and well, maybe we are a little stressed too. But we won’t talk about the bridesmaids dresses that may or may not be here in time.
I was asked this winter if I would be willing to grow some pumpkins for the reception. Of course I said “YES!!” See, we have two gardens. One where we grow all of our veggies (the one I post pictures from on a daily basis) and one for our pumpkins and squash. Normally we grow all of our winter squash and pumpkins there, but this year it is strictly WEDDING PUMPKINS!! Here are a few of the many pumpkins and gourds that are growing there.
How gorgeous are these going to be at the wedding reception?!?
And since we are talking wedding talk, we may as well talk about the BRIDAL SHOWER that is this weekend!! I am in charge of the decorations and as you can imagine, I’m LOVING it! I am finally able to put my love for bunting and pom poms to good use. I am also making them a scrapbook of their wedding. You didn’t know I scrap booked did you? Those pictures will all be posted later. I can’t spoil the surprise. Ok, and maybe I haven’t started the scrapbook yet either! Right now I’m working on a HUGE order to send to Chicago and to a store in Philadelphia. As you can imagine, I am over the top excited about this! This is such an amazing opportunity for me. Well that’s enough about my life right now. Hope you all have a wonderful week and I will pick a winner for the giveaway by Wednesday.
What a great idea! I'm looking forward to seeing the pics. Your white pumpkin theme reminded me of some pics I saw in Martha Stewart Living a couple of years ago. Can't find the exact pic online – but here are a few others you might like.

Woo-hoo! We made it to the blog! Can't believe it's only 2 months away! Did you know I would be snooping on your blog to see details? 🙂 Thanks again for donating a portion of your garden to the pumpkins/gourds. They are looking great!
