Order a quantity of white gourds from a farmer early in the season. Having them specially grown will often not cost more than buying them directly, but it will ease your mind, knowing that the general color and shape of gourd you're looking for is available. White gourds are perfect for fall weddings, and can be made into a vase, a candle, or even left alone in baskets to admire. Gourds come in several sizes, shapes and textures, from smooth hourglasses to short squat lumpy balls. A gourd grower can help you chose the ones you like and grow them especially for you.
