About Mrs. Dumpling

… you even make Halloween about being a bride.

This is really the only time we could have done this without looking like losers. :) We’re silly like that, though! Please believe we will be decorating our Christmas tree like a wedding centerpiece. I’m already having visions of bride and groom ornaments. And New Years? Just another reason to wear a tiara and practice the toasts!

You Know You're Getting Married When... :  wedding las vegas 106

Things you should know about these bride and groom pumpkins:

1. The top hat on the groom pumpkin is really the top from a can of PAM spray. I wrapped it in black satin ribbon and black electrical tape. I want to tell you that I am an extra crafty bee, but really, I just didn’t feel like taking my lazy self to the dollar store to get a top hat. LOL.

2. The groom pumpkin only has one tooth—the other ones accidentally got cut off because I wasn’t paying attention. Make sure you watch where you’re carving! They tell you to trace it out first for a reason!

3. The tulle from the bride pumpkin’s veil is the actual tulle I’m using to have my own veil custom made. More on that later!

Here they are in action, on our front porch. Doesn’t it just make you want to drink warm apple cider and eat a big slice of homemade apple pie?

You Know You're Getting Married When... :  wedding las vegas 202

Since you’ve gotten engaged, have found ways to make your life very “bride and groom” centric? Is anyone else making bride and groom jack o’ lanterns this year?

Not jack-o-lanterns, but I found this skeleton bride and groom at Michaels and just had to get them. You know, to commemorate the year….Glad to know it’s not just me!

ME! First time posting. So this is the post that will make me come out from lurking! I was planning on having two carved pumpkins at our wedding (10/28/08). The garden where we are doing the ceremony is large enough for a lot of people, but since this is more of an elopement/wedding ceremony for-two I didn’t know how to anchor the “place” where we would stand, and I wanted to try this. Something halloween-ish, but not scary. And I was going to make hearts for their eyes too!

Oh! I am already looking through my non-pro photos from friends to find the perfect one to carve into our pumpkin. I am going to take one of our first dance photos and turn it into a sketch and then carve it into our pumpkin! I’ll post some shots when I get it done. Thanks for inspiring me!
