Wedding decorations... just want some opinions here!?

If you have read any of my other questions, here's a little update: We finally figured out a way to pay for the wedding. * sigh of relief* So here's my question- Our wedding date is October 18th. Since its fall wedding, I figured fall would be my theme, sort of. I was thinking for decorations in the church I would do some pretty leaves with small pumpkins, like on the steps near the altar. and I would do a copycat of that for the tables at the reception except I would use fake leaves there, since I want to have candles- gold colored ones, if I can find them, and all that placed on a round mirror. Will that be really hard do you think? ( finding gold colored candles, I mean.) Also, what do you think of my decoration ideas? Oh, and would it still be okay to have the pink and white roses I have always wanted in my bouquet? ooo should I do red and yellow roses instead? agh I am having too much fun with all this ha ha. Also, I want to mention, for some reason that even I don't know, I lovvvee pumpkins! :) My fiancee is fine with the idea, I just wanted to see what others think . If all goes right, the bridesmaid's dresses are going to be a red wine color, I think.

1. I think that your ideas are great! I have seen the pumpkin centerpieces done before and they can be very elegant when it is done the right way. Here are a few ideas that you might be able to use. Also - in regards to the pink bouquet if you really want them then that is what you should have; but I think that the red and yellow roses would go much better. http://photos.weddingbycolor.com/p/000/001/475/m/244/p/thumbnail/1393.jpg http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/912652/2/istockphoto_912652_pumpkin_flower_centerpiece.jpg http://budgetdreams.files.wordpress.com/2006/08/fall_theme_rehearsal_with_pumpkin_arrangement_65.JPG http://images.meredith.com/bhg/images/09/ss_candles.jpg http://www.candlebay.com/candlepics/med/102.jpg
2. I think the small pumpkin is a great idea. I saw this really great picture once of a small pumpkin with small roses in it (like the pumpkin had been cut with a small hole in the top and the flowers placed inside). I thought it was beautiful, and that way you could incorportae what ever colours of flowers you'd like. Also, I don't think gold candles would be hard to find.
3. I think that will be really neat. I love fall and pumpkins too, and gold candles on little round mirrors will be a great accent. I would start at craft shops, they usually have a really good selections. If all else fails you can always wrap the candles in gold fabric or cover them in gold glitter. The yellow and red roses would go better with your theme but you should carry whatever bouquet you want. I hope it all turns out beautiful for you!
4. Pumpkins and gold candles sound great. Might want to skip the pink roses. Here are some tea light candles you might like or Fall favors to go with your theme. http://www.theweddingfavorcompanylp.com/fall.htmld Luck.
