I love them!
I already wanted to use pumpkins, but needed a way to make them look a little more magical / less bumpkin. This is the best idea I've seen. Our venue has a large outdoor area and something like that will be perfect. By the way - I was planning to use those foam pumpkins from Michaels so we don't have to worry about them rotting.
How cool! That clear chunky glitter that looks like white raw sugar would be nice too!
RoddyBride - I just noticed you were from Phoenixville. We're getting married at Columbia Station - Robert Ryan Catering.
Where are you getting married.
WOW how different!! I love it! I would totally do that if I had a fall wedding! In fact I might do it this year instead of carving pumpkins for the front porch!
We are using alot of natural decor for our rehearsal dinner on Fri October 16th-lots of pumpkins, but also large mums-they come in such terrific colors. I also found some leaf garland for decorating that has gold colored lights in it-looks really terrific with the lights down low. The middle of the tables will be a beveled mirror with a candle garden on it with fabric leaves scattered about. I also found some terrific loose glitter that is in leaf shapes and fall colors. I love these pumpkins!
Interestingly enough, my reception the following morning (brunch following an 11 am ceremony), the decorating theme is shabby chic-nothing really to do with fall. We have alot of serving pieces, but nothing really enough to make a statement, so we decided shabby chic was a good way to mix and match pieces. I ditched the cupcake stand idea and am instead using stacked cake stands-wedding cake in the middle, cake stands of cupcakes on either side for the grooms cake.
Oooh I want to make these for myself!!!!!!!!
My wedding is the weekend before halloween ... I should give out a pumpkin to each guest haha
This makes me want to get married in the fall; those look just great! Your cousin did a fantastic job on those!
oh wow what a great way to jazz them up and stop them looking too 'halloweeny'!
I had to come back and look at these again...I just LOVE these pumpkins! Let operation pumpkin commence!!!
What a CUTE idea! I love it...wouldn't work for my own wedding, but for a wedding using fall colors - they would be adorable!
how cool!! i may do it as a project for my little man for halloween.
Those are sooooooooo super cute. If my other colors would work with the orange of the pumpkin, I would totally steal this idea. Do pumpkins come in black or gray? 
@Noelle: You could probably spray paint them first : ) Tape off the stem, paint them black and then cover them in black, or even chunky clear glitter! They'd look fab, I think. I might even do that for Halloween this year :D
@Noelle, in nature, pumpkins don't come in black or grey but you could easily use colored glitter in those colors. I don't think you need to spray paint the pumpkin first at all. The pumpkins in the pictures above don't give any hint of what the natural color underneath is, therefore I would skip the hassle of the spraypaint.
@ember: you didn't really need to say that they don't grow in black or gray it was a joke.
while I think the idea of spraypainting them is OK, to me the appeal of using natural elements like pumpkins, gourds, or fruit, is that they are just that, natural. Embelishing with glitter is snazzy and I like that you can see the actual pumpkin underneath.....
On another pumpkin decor note, I saw a pic somewhere where they had cut little holes in the pumpkins jack-o-lantern style to make them look polka dotted, cute too.
I'm glad you bees like the pumpkins. And just so you know, you can use whatever color glitter you want on the pumpkins! Get creative. I just wish I could find the step by step on these. Doesn't look terribly difficult though.
Have fun!
@hisswallow - I posted this a while ago and since you were speaking of glitter pumpkins, I thought I would share this with you...and the hive (again).
Wow, I didn't see this the first time around - what a great idea for adding a little variety to the standard fall decor! How cool!

My cousin made these a few years ago and sent me the photos last night. I'm getting married October 2010 and when I saw these I was impressed! They are quite pretty and I think would make a nice addition to fall decor.
I don't have a step by step for you but I think she said it was a Martha Stewart project so I'm sure you can find it online.
Tell me what you think.
