Wedding Preparations - Pumpkins and Mums!

Holy Moly I've never seen so many mums and pumpkins in my life! Everything has been a whorlwind for the past few weeks but the end is in sight! This saturday all the wedding stuff will be over and life can return to normal. For the time being there are mums and pumpkins all over the yard.

 

Boomer loves the mums but he keeps trying to eat the flowers!

 

Perhaps one of the greatest things about an October wedding is the abundance of natural decorations available. And you can't beat the prices! We were able to get a deal with a local pick-your-own pumpkin patch so that we paid one price to fill the trunk of a car with as many pumpkins as we could. Not too bad at all! There are so many colors, shapes, and sizes of pumpkins that just about anyone could find pumpkins to match their colors. As long as the deer leave these ones alone they should be just fine for the big day this weekend :)



I LOVE white pumpkins

We got all the mums for a great price by buying them form the local school soccer team's fundraiser. We've been trying to keep them alive for a few weeks but they seem like they will mostly all make it. We got 25 large plants and then another 30 of the smaller rusty-gold colored ones to use in the centerpieces.



These are only some of them! those yellow ones...they might not make it...

Things are certainly starting to get real as the days get closer! There's still so much to do! It's hard to fit in time for anything else by the time I get home from work and play with the dog and make supper for us! Hopefully life will calm back down to normal soon and we can get our new chicken coop/complex finished before the snaw starts to fall.


Cheers!
