Planning a wedding in late October? These
wedding themes give you plenty of room to express your individuality.
Start with an orange and black invitation with stamped images or cut outs of vampires or
pumpkins as a border. Perhaps a pumpkin shaped card or cornucopia would
better express your theme.
If you want your guests to arrive in costume, be sure to say so on the
invitation. A newsletter is the best way to tell your guests what you expect
them to do, wear, and bring.
Wedding attire
is the next big step. At a Halloween wedding, you might want to wear a
costume that reflects your interests - a pilot, scuba diver, mountain
climber, or even a rodeo star make for entertaining weddings.
A harvest theme wedding could accent more traditional clothing with jewel
toned accessories like bow ties, cummerbunds, a ribbon tied at the bride's
waist, a shawl, or even a hat will be a beautiful accent in deep green,
wine, gold, or blue.
Location,
location, location. Where should you have your wedding? How about a
cozy chalet with a roaring fire or a spooky stone church with candles in
hurricane globes? For an outdoor wedding, you might choose a park, or
lakeside gazebo. Make sure you remind your guests to bring a jacket!
Decorate the
site with floral arrangements in jewel tones accented with gilded fruits,
berries, acorns, and pumpkins. A cornucopia makes a lovely centerpiece.
Halloween weddings could use jack-o-lanterns as the center attraction. Use
wired ribbons in your wedding colors to add decorative accents to your
arrangements and to make bows to accent doorways, tables, pews, and the
aisle.
As your guests depart, have
them send you off with a flurry of confetti in orange and black or in the
jewel tones you choose for your wedding. Bubbles are magnificent at a
twilight wedding.
Your favors
could be miniature pumpkins with your names written in gold paint, a
cornucopia with marzipan vegetables and fruits, or a small bottle of wine
with rusted grape leaves wrapped around the neck.
