Halloween Spooky Theme Weddings: How to Pull Them Off in Style
Oct
With Halloween around the corner, spooky-themed weddings are sure to be a hit. This coming All Hallows’ Eve, more and more couples enjoy mixing the bliss of getting married with the interesting peculiarity of the scary Halloween season. Unique, fun and absolutely unforgettable, these Halloween themed weddings are indeed a joy to witness for the wedding guests as this kind of celebrations doesn’t come up too often.
Halloween Themed Weddings
If you are interested in having your version of a spooky wedding party or your haunted wedding ceremony, we’ve rounded up a guide to help you pull off that Hallows Eve Wedding in full style and glam.
Pumpkins are in.
No matter the season or the continent, pumpkins are always associated with Halloween so better capitalise on the theme. Don’t worry, you don’t have to automatically have an orange themed wedding, simply paint on the pumpkin heads (or over the plastic pumpkin decor) to have it match your stylish theme. Black, white and gold are your best bet for chic and spooktastic accents.
Scary but classy.
Especially if the couple loves the frightening appeal of the holiday, Halloween weddings are all about skulls, cobwebs, and even dim lighting. We’re saying yes to spiders, yes to ghosts, and yes to tombstones. However, keep it classy by avoiding slimy or oozing blood-like displays and keep amputated limbs or toes away from the older guests as well.
Little accents speak volumes.
From wedding cake toppers to table centrepieces, adding little accents all over the reception venue could help keep the spooky vibe alive all night long. Instead of going for a huge, heart-stopping scary display right at the entrance, why not create little spaces and adorable nooks around and within the venue so guests can visit each one and appreciate the fright little by little. Adorable cake toppers, scary welcome wedding signs, and frightening dark-lit background for the newlyweds’ table are all great ideas that can work towards a classy yet spooky wedding theme.
Let the guests join in the fun.
Who says only the bride and the groom gets to have all the fun? Let the guests dress up for the occasion in their little way by giving out simple masks or fun hats for them to use while the party is in session. Great props such as toy swords, lightsabers and plastic shields are going to be hit especially for the photo booth or on the dancefloor.
Play with the whimsical and extraordinary.
For other couples, Halloween doesn’t have to be gory or dark to be enjoyable or remarkable. Other themed wedding ideas such as industrial-fantasy or Steampunk and gothic fashion themes are quite popular among younger couples who are huge fans of the said genres. Animated movies such as the Corpse Bride and Coco have also had strong followings and have translated to a more glamorous and whimsical wedding celebration theme that leans more towards the great aesthetics rather than the creepy side.
Send them home with a treat and not a trick.
The beauty of All Hallows Eve themed weddings is in the sweetest treats. Get to send your guests home with pumpkin seeds, candy corn lollies, candied apples, and even ghost-themed lollies.
