Henry David Thoreau

Ideas on Fall Decorating with Gourds, Squash, and Pumpkins
1) Table runner
Clustering pumpkins and gourds in the center of your table creates a beautiful table runner. Make sure you have varying sizes of the gourds and pumpkins so there is visual interest.
Other things you can add are greenery and berries, leaves and candle pillars for a beautiful table.

Here’s another view of the pumpkin and gourd table runner.

2) Pumpkin Vase
Pumpkins become even more beautiful when they are used as a vase for your fall flowers.

3) Lantern
Use decorative cutouts and create a one-of-a-kind lantern to light the path to your door.

4) Window box dressing with pumpkins and gourds
Use your window boxes as a way to add fall color to the exterior of your home.
Adding other elements like mums and leaves will add color to the display.

5) Fill a rustic wheelbarrow with a nod to fall
Wheelbarrows are such a handy tool. Why not put it to work in the fall by making it part of your decorating scheme?

6) Fall welcoming wreath
Greet your friends and family with a harvest-inspired wreath with gourds and mini-pumpkins. It will make you smile every time you enter your front door.

7) Autumn Place Settings
Adding a mini pumpkin or gourd to your family’s place settings is an easy way to bring the fall season to your evening meal.

8) Fall Candle Holder
Who said plants are the only thing that look good potted? The cute terra cottage pots and mugs elevate the mini pumpkins and offer more ways to display them.

9) Autumn planters
Use your outdoor planters and turn them into a way to showcase your fall treasures and make your yard look adorable.

Here are pumpkins nestled with mums – the perfect fall vignette.

10) Menu board
If you’re hosting a gathering, use a pumpkin to write the night’s menu on it.

11) Soup bowls
Serving a creamy fall soup just got a whole lot more beautiful when you serve them in the hallowed out vessels of squash and pumpkins.
Sprinkle a few pumpkin seeds on top of the soup for an added touch of WOW!

12) Work of art
When you really look at how beautiful pumpkins, squash and gourds are, you realize that they are truly artistic wonders that deserve to be in the spotlight.
Why not feature one beautiful pumpkin on a stool and let it take center-stage?
