Place Settings

In keeping with the idea of a lovely fall wedding, how about gourd place settings!? They're super cute, colourful and easy.

All you need to do is find a local farm or road stand and buy a bunch of them a couple weeks before the wedding (the later the better - unless you're going to shellac them), clean them off and tie ribbons with your guests names on them.

Another fun idea is to paint them your wedding colours or simple golds and silvers.

There are ways to preserve them so they'll last a long while, but I would only recommend doing that if you have extra time of your hands or very few guests.

You could also use items like pinecones, apples and other fruit, however it can start to seem cheap - especially if the pinecones still have dirt on them. Yuck.
