Halloween Wedding – Part 2

Today we complete our Halloween wedding theme, so if you’re planning to marry on 31st October (or even if you just fancy a goth wedding at any time of the year) here’s some more wedding ideas :

Decorating your wedding venue for Halloween

Drape black netting and contrasting bows around doorways, use coloured crepe paper in greens, orange or red to brighten it up.

Decorare dead branches with twinkle lights and secure them in pots placed around the wedding venues, decorate the pots on shiny wrapping paper, in orange or black.

Make a large cardboard moon to hang from the ceiling, cover it with shiny foil yellow paper, and add a flying witch near it. You could also add some hanging gold stars and bats from the ceiling.

Paint large cardboard boxes and make your own coffin, place a Dracula dummy in it with a black suit, white shirt and black cape, add his wife, Mrs Dracula to make it a little more of a wedding theme. Surround it with home made grave stones painted grey, add a funny message on them, perhaps with names of some of your wedding guests (if they can take a joke that is !). This could make a sensational Halloween wedding centrepiece.

Use black tablecloths and decorate them with gold stars, moons & sun shapes using stencils and fabric pens.

Finally, amaze your wedding guests with a large cauldron placed on the main serving table of the buffet, and use dry ice to create the smoke effect.

Creepy Halloween Wedding Entertainment

Hire a fortune-teller to set up in the corner of the wedding venue, and give short readings to the wedding guests.

Ensure your wedding DJ plays all the usual Halloween hits such as Thriller, the Monster Mash & of course ghostbusters.

Hire a magician and ask that he dresses up as a wizard for the evening, get him to walk around entertaining the wedding guests with his close up illusions.

Halloween Wedding Favors

Use kids Halloween treat bags and fill with sweets.

Have personalised candles, in orange & black with the newlywed’s intials printed in gothic style lettering, also add some spiders, ribbons or cob-webs  to decorate them.

Buy some cookies or chocolates in the shapes of ghosts, witches, tombstones, whatever is available – there is usually a good selection of these in shops nearer the time of Halloween. Package them together in black velvet pouches and tie with contrasting ribbons.

Halloween Wedding Guests

Halloween related costumes are easy enough for your wedding guests to find, ask them to dress in a slightly more formal way then just a fancy dress style. Instead of dressing as some gruesome monster men could dress as wizards, vampires, gangsters that way it puts them in a suit rather then a funny costume. Ladies could wear Mortitia style black silk dresses, be a stylish devil or vampiress.

This way you get to keep it fun, but a bit more in keeping with a wedding rather then just a Halloween party.

Most importantly if you are going to have a Halloween wedding, make sure you have fun and enjoy yourselves, never take it too seriously but remember this is not just an annual party, this is your wedding day, so take lots of photos as this is one wedding that your guets will remember for many years to come.
