Having a Halloween Wedding?

Here are some ideas for your Halloween theme!

Attire:

• Bride and Groom

You can make it real simple by the bride wearing a plain black or red slim fitting wedding dress while the groom wears a black tux with black shirt and tie. If that is too plain for you, you can add a black cape with red lining and a high collar for the groom, black veil and long, sleek black gloves for the bride. Or, if you are the romantic type, shop for costumes as a Renaissance lord and lady, or Cinderella and Price Charming.

• Bridesmaids

Black gowns in materials such as velvet, crepe, or chiffon with black velvet cameo chokers, or black lace shawls. Or another option would be slim fitting black, red, orange or yellow dresses with matching capes with high, stiff collars.

• Groomsmen

All black tuxes, shirts and cumberbuns with tails. Undertakers traditionally wore swallowtail coats.

Centerpeices:

• Jackolanterns with a candle inside or pumpkins filled with flowers as centerpeices. You can add a little more to the arrangement, such as small scarecrows, plastic pumpkins, small ghosts, gold stars or moon.
• Orange and black pillar candles in varying heights placed on small round mirrors. Scatter some autumn leaves around it.

• For a more elegant favor, use Halloween Pillow Favor Boxes and place small pumpkin candy or candy corn inside
