Palm Beach Pumpkin Patch

Fall is in full swing here in Palm Beach. This week I was able to visit one of my favorite shopping spots, The Royal Poinciana Plaza. Nestled between Stoney Clover and Love Shack Fancy, was the most insta-worthy pumpkin patch.

Now this isn’t your average Fall photo-op. Nicole Shaffer from Flower Love Palm Beach put a preppy twist on this Fall festivity, from pink pumkins and a wagon to pop in front of the picket fence.

The best part is when you finish snapping your selfies, you can shop at Stoney Clover and head over to the Honor Bar for a cocktail. This was a perfect ending to an Autumn day walking the Plaza with my best babes. I can’t wait to see what pop up is next over the holidays!

The Pick of the Patch

As soon as autumn rolled around, I couldn’t wait to make my way to the pumpkin patch in town. Pumpkin picking is one of my favorite things to do in the Fall. From big to small, this place had them all.

Woodland UMC has hosted their patch for 20 plus years, so we were happy to make a return trip. We pulled our cart down the path and set our sights on the perfect pumpkin.

It was a tough choice to make, but i finally picked my fave. We made our way to checkout and found out that the proceeds go to children’s church missions. How cool is that? This way you can go home with a heavy cart and a full heart. What better way to celebrate the season?

The Woodland Patch was sweet enough to share some of their favorite pumpkin recipes, courtesy of Very Best Baking. Here is a Fall favorite I found for y’all:

Ghouls Night

When it comes to party planning, I’m more so known as the partier than the planner. When my boss handed me the hostess hat, I have to say I was a little intimidated but with a little pinteresting and tips from my Lilly ladies, my party soon came to life! From frightening to festive, follow me through my Pumpkin Party prep.

After a massive rush to clean the clutter, I pulled down my best spooky décor and got to work. I also turned down the bright lights and turned up the mood lamps for a more eerie effect.

As I am still working on my cooking skills, I saved time and struggle by picking up a Zaxbys platter for the girls, a southern favorite for a low- key gathering. For dessert, I used my mom’s classic Witch Hat Cookie recipe, which is now a pinterest phenomenon! (Stay tuned for the easy recipe on my next post.)

Hangin With My Witches
As far as tools go, I recommend printing out a few easy templates (not a double flamingo like mine, it will take you a lot of work.. and wine!) and grab a few carving kits to share. If carving isn’t your thing, just add paint or glitter for more fab effects!

To keep the party festive and fun, I got my girlies to don cat ears, and gave them goblets for their wine to pass the time. To leave a sweet taste with your partygoers, pack them a great goody bags to go, filled with Halloween fun. Don’t hesitate to get inspired by my ideas and make them your own. Hopefully with a few of my tips, you too can become the hostess with the mostess.
