HALLOWEEN WEDDING DRESSES

You have many choices when it comes choosing a wedding gown, especially if you are looking for one at this time of the year. A black wedding gown is a good choice if you want to be more Halloween-y. You might prefer a traditional style for your bridal gown.

A simple lace gown in ivory or white could give you the timeless, rustic look that you desire. To help you get inspired, we have three ideas for Halloween wedding gowns.

SPOOKY THEME

There are lots of fun ideas for a terrifying Halloween-themed wedding.

Colors for Weddings: You can choose from a variety of shades of black, gray and white to create a spooky atmosphere. To keep the theme spooky, add orange to your wedding.

Themes: You can decorate your venue as a haunted house, graveyard or other spooky-themed thing. You can also include on your wedding invitation that costumes are strongly recommended for the reception to add some spice.

Halloween Decorations: Make your theme more frightening by using decorations that include cobwebs, skulls and lots of candles. To create a dramatic atmosphere, dim lighting can be used to set the mood. You could also use a fog machine as you walk down the aisle to add a dramatic touch of drama. Signs could be held by Skeletons to direct guests.

It is best to hold the Halloween event at night in order to get the full effect. To make the event even more creepy, bring out the Jack-O-Lanterns and place candles inside.

Centerpieces: Use natural branches without leaves and dark colored flowers to give the centerpieces a lifeless look. A coffin-shaped wooden flower vase will give the ambiance a haunting feel.

This holiday does not have to make your wedding scary or spooky. It can be elegant and beautiful. It’s easy to decorate with class thanks to the gold and bronze colors of Halloween. These elegant ideas for Halloween weddings will help you get started.

Themes: A forest theme can be elegant and the greens and pumpkins will serve as your background. A pumpkin patch theme can be fun if you’re looking to make your event more casual.

A masquerade ball theme is another option. This one is fun! Guests can bring their own masquerade masks or you can supply them. Instead of wearing a bridal veil, you can wear a masquerade disguise as you walk down to the altar.

Decorations: Pumpkins! Pumpkins are the first thing that springs to mind when you think of Halloween decorations. You can transform a simple pumpkin into many different creative things. Here are some DIY ideas:

  • Jack-O-Lanterns are able to line walkways and the aisles you’ll be using.
  • You can also carve numbers into each pumpkin to use as table numbers.
