DIY Outdoor Glam Pumpkin Display

Please pardon these terribly unprofessional photos. This was a last minute project that we did and thanks to all your sweet requests, we decided to share!

Since we purchased our house in March, I’ve been heads down focused on home decor, curtain selection, and how the heck to organize my study, and I completely lost track of the seasons. So when I finally looked at my calendar last week and realized we have over 7 different dinner parties at our house over the next month, all fabric stalking had to pause and I majorly needed to add some fall festivity to our home and spruce up our front porch to welcome all our upcoming guests!

If you’ve been following the blog for a while now, you know how I love to add a touch of glam to everything – and that includes our fall decor. I’ve had my eye set on these gorg Hot Skwash pumpkins from my inspo board, but, of course, time got away from me before I ordered them and I needed a festive and budget friendly porch display ASAP. So I went the DIY route with these metallic spray painted pumpkins and I’m SO glad we did.

This project cost less than $60 and I’ve been receiving so many sweet compliments on them from you all and our neighbors! So as promised, here is my quick and easy DIY tutorial for a festive and glam pumpkin display.

Halloween Tablescape Inspiration

I love a good costume party as much as the next person and can’t wait to hand out candy to the kiddos (especially now that we are in our new home!), but I have to admit, Halloween isn’t my favorite holiday. Sometimes, I find that it’s hard to class up the ghouls, dragons, and witches look, but this I’ve been on a mission to find cute and trendy ways to bring Halloween into our home and I think this tablescape inspo does just the trick! 

Check out all of our favorite Halloween tablescape decor above, or shop below, to bring a little extra somethin’ to your spooky and scary look this year!

Chocolate Covered Rice Krispie Pops

For every party, we all want those jaw-dropping uber creative menus that all our guests will be talking about long after the event, don’t we? I always envision my guests oohing and aahing over every dish they taste and just marveling in the originality of it. But let’s be honest. Not every dish we make can be that innovative and unique. Every party and event needs one of our favorite basic no-fail recipes, where we can just kick our feet up and know that it will be a success.

For me, Rice Krispie Treats can be just the ticket! I mean who doesn’t love a good Rice Krispie Treat? They instantly create a sense of nostalgia and remind us of a fun childhood memory. Plus they are an easy festive bite that you can customize to any party.

I recently incorporated them into our Ghoul’s Night Out Halloween Party, and they gave it the perfect spooktacular flare! I dressed them up by dipping them in white chocolate and then rolled them in some fun Halloween sprinkles! I grabbed some orange paper straws to use as sticks and voila! An adorable and festive Rice Krispie Pop perfect for your upcoming party! Change up the sprinkles and straw color, and you’ve got yourself a treat for any birthday party theme or holiday!
