In honor of Halloween tomorrow, it wouldn’t be right not to talk about Halloween themed weddings. If a Halloween wedding isn’t out of the box, I don’t know what is! Brides and grooms all have their own personality, and a lot of them are choosing to have their big day on the one day of the year that all the ghosts and goblins come out.
Many people assume that when a couple wants their wedding on this day that they must be creepy or gothic. That’s not true at all anymore. A Halloween wedding, to me, can mean a deep, dark, romance with rich colors and a great way for your guests to really get into your wedding. Having this theme doesn’t mean that your wedding has to be silly or sloppy at all. There are so many ways to make this theme the most elegant event your guests have ever seen.
I have talked about cakes before, but since this is a special Halloween edition I have to talk about these creepy cakes. These cakes are great because you know that they are meant to be for Halloween, but they are still classy. The first one is a lot more whimsical, but the second one is more subdued in its “Halloween-ness”. Both will suit any type of couple for their holiday wedding.
For a fun wedding like this, centerpieces can make or break what kind of theme and tone you are going for. I feel there are three different types of feelings here. The fall tree branches can give more of a harvest feel to your wedding. Also, it gives more color to the reception room. The spider webs candelabra definitely give the stereotypical Halloween feel. For the right couple, this is great! Last is my absolute favorite idea for a centerpiece. The Jack-o-Lantern is a neat way to kill two birds with one stone. It is beautiful in itself because of the great orange color, but you can carve it to serve another purpose as well. This person chose to carve the letter of their last name into it, but you could put the table numbers or names to let guests know where they are supposed to sit.
Ok so we all know what Halloween is really about right? Candy of course! Many couples are now having candy buffets at their wedding. For a Halloween wedding candy should really be one of the main features. Kids will be swarming around the candy buffet all night. If you are having an adult only reception, you will find most of the adults turning back into kids at the sight of your candy spread! Here are just some pictures I had to post because they looked so Halloweeny and delish!
On a closing not, I really want to caution the bride and groom about wearing any kind of costume. Maybe if you and your guy are really set on wearing a costume, save it for the reception. You don’t want your guests not taking your wedding seriously. Another idea about wearing some kind of costume down the aisle could be something like this mask below. Your guests know you are wearing a costume, but you will still look elegant and how a bride should look.
(I just wanted to post these two very cool pictures I found of a reception venue all dressed up for Halloween to show just how stylish this theme can be.)
Keep all these things in mind if you decide to have a Halloween wedding. You can make it as creepy or as chic as you want. This type of theme really gives you a lot of freedom to be creative as you want. Whatever route you choose to take, just make sure you use that creative freedom to your full advantage!
