pumpkin carriage

Gourd turned vehicle

A pumpkin carriage is the magical coach from the Cinderella fairy tale, transformed from a pumpkin by a fairy godmother.

The image evokes fantasy, transformation, and the fleeting nature of enchantment—since it reverts to a pumpkin at midnight.

She felt like she was riding in a pumpkin carriage on her wedding day.
