Hi everyone! If you don’t know already, the spookiest of all days is on a Saturday in 2020. One of the most coveted Saturdays for weddings is the last one in October, and next year it is on Halloween. It’s the perfect fall day because the leaves changing colors are at their peak, the temperature seems to be just right, and daylight savings time hasn’t begun, so you get just a bit more time to capture that perfect photo.
We wanted to share some ways to incorporate the darker sides into a wedding. Having a wedding on Halloween weekend may sound a little spooky, but don’t be afraid – there are plenty of ways to make a Halloweekend Wedding a thing of dreams instead of nightmares! Here are a few ways to have create a spooktacular Halloween Wedding… If you dare.
1. Opt for a Dark Color Pallet
Ditch the candy corn color pallet and opt for darker colors: black, green, purple, gold, and/or red. This will provide an elegantly eerie and enchanting look. Here are some color pallet examples:
2. It’s All in the Details.
For more subtly spooky aesthetics, go for Victorian or Gothic fonts for wedding invitations.
3. Finding the Right Venue
Brides wrote an article where they discussed with New York City planner Amanda Diamondstein-Cieplinska of Stellina Events about the best ways to throw a tasteful Halloween Wedding. During the interview, she mentioned one of the best ways to do this is picking the perfect venue. “The venue should exude a feeling of mystery…Historic buildings can provide the perfect backdrop for a Halloween wedding,” Diamondstein said.The building itself doesn’t have to be a spooky, haunted location. Just make sure it has a really interesting historical background to add to the Halloween vibes.
4. Wine Bottle Candle Holders
You can go waxed or unwaxed with these. Either way it will add a mysterious ambiance to a table setting!
5. Try a Non Traditional Dress
There are so many alternatives to a traditional white wedding dress. Stand out from the rest with a wicked awesome black gown. If you’re not feeling bold enough to go with this option, we suggest adding in small dark colored accents to give your dress that Halloween edge!
