Halloween Weddings–Terrifying or Trendy?
D
eck the halls with “boo-tiful” colors and decorations. Think dripping candles, a skeleton cake topper, hanging bats of ceremony chairs, a scarecrow holding guests cards, a blood red punch bowl, spider napkin ring, horror movie posters and anything that creates the Halloween theme. When will you ever have such a good excuse to carve or paint lots of pumpkins? If the traditional black and orange color scheme is not appealing, black, white and grey, or black, white and red, or fall colors also work.
Dressing in thrilling threads allows you to ditch the all white gown pearls and go with dark colors and some bewitching 
accessories. Invite guests can dress for a masquerade, in all black or just wear masks provided for them at their tables. Flower girls or ring bearers can have fun wearing costumes. There are many chic and scary looks that can be explored!
Spook-tacular food and drinks that include eyeballs floating in red punch, monster finger appetizers, a caramel apple station, trick or treat candy buffet, hot cider, pumpkin dishes….Need I say more? Not to mention that the cake and/or cupcake possibilities are unlimited.
Mesmerize your guests with music haunting tones that will have them moving! Enjoy favorites like Thriller, Monster Mash, Ghostbusters, Werewolves of London, and Superstition. Wind down the evening, with organ selections.
Have Halloween props and masks accessible for your guests take frightfully fun photos! Whether you keep the decorations and attire low key or you go all out, the photos will be extraordinary. Looking back at Halloween wedding pictures, Halloween won’t just be about candy and costumes any more. It will be also be the day you began your life together.
