Halloween Wedding Tips

The Right Décor Will Make Your Special Day Both Ghoulish and Elegant

Many people enjoy Halloween and all that goes with it. For some, Halloween is the year's best holiday. It only makes sense that some people would actually like to marry on Halloween. The good news is that you can have a Halloween wedding that is both fun and more elegant than your usual Halloween party. The trick is to carefully plan the décor and your wedding.

When one decides to have a Halloween-themed wedding, one is usually not traditional. Therefore, a white dress for the bride is not particularly necessary. Think Morticia Addams when putting together the wedding gown: elegant and sleek. You might consider adding a cape to your wedding gown. A long cape overlaid with tulle or edged with black or red lace can take the place of a train. Add a black veil and long black gloves, and the bride becomes the picture of Halloween elegance. The groom can wear a Victorian frock coat or even just a plain black tux. Or, he could go old-fashioned Dracula and wear a black shirt with black slacks and add a cape with a high collar. Line the cape in red for extra effect.

Bouquets can be any number of flowers: orange, blood red, or black roses. Also, some nice flowers that are naturally orange include tiger lily, orange hawkweed, and orange poppy. You can add a contrast by carrying white calla lilies or orchids for your bouquet. The white flowers in contrast with the dark-colored garb reminds people of a funeral, with pure flowers held by the corpse.
