Halloween Themed Wedding Ideas

Happy Halloween!

Themed weddings are becoming more popular year on year, especially when it comes to around Halloween.

If you’re planning on having a Halloween wedding in 2013, or even a Halloween themed party after you return from your wedding abroad then why not consider some of the spooky ideas below:

~ It would be hard to have a Halloween themed wedding with out incorporating black and orange, so base your colour scheme on these two colours throughout. From the invitations to the chair covers you’ll be bound to find suppliers willing to help you with this exciting theme, and colour scheme.

~ When it comes to your dress, consider wearing black.  Tailor made a special wedding gown--- simply perfect for your Halloween themed wedding.

~ When arriving at the church or wedding venue have your wedding car decorated with black ribbon instead of white for a twist.

~ Line the aisle with pre-carved pumpkins lit with tea lights – or rechargeable candle lights - to create a spooky effect during your ceremony.

~ Carve and fill pumpkins with flowers, leaves or autumn related foliage and put them in the centre of each table.  Or simply put giant tea light candles inside each pumpkin and dim the lights during your wedding breakfast for a fabulous Halloween effect.

~ Serve your guests pumpkin soup as a starter or pumpkin pie as a dessert to keep them Halloween theme rolling throughout. They are both delicious!

~ Entertain your guests by having fancy dress accessories on each table seeing as everyone loves to dress up when it comes to Halloween.  Or if you really want to keep your guests involved then why invite them to wear fancy dress on the invitations.

~ Change the labels on bottles of red wine to read ‘bats blood’ and the labels on your white wine to read ‘snake vermin’ – making your guests think they are drinking something freaky.

~ Instead of a wedding post box have a black cauldron sitting at the reception for people to drop cards in to.

~ And why not cut a fabulous Halloween themed wedding cake.  A black witch’s hat, a white tiered cake decorated like a ghost or a big black spider could really have a good effect when it comes to the wedding photography.
