Halloween Wedding Ideas for Your Autumn Wedding

Halloween wedding ideas with pumpkins


Halloween Wedding Ideas that will inspire you to create a stylish and fun wedding.

Halloween is a lovely time of year to get married! The heat of the summer is behind you and the cool crisp days of autumn are upon you.

Even if you're using black cats and witches with brooms you can choose the elegant, happy side of Halloween instead of the ghoulish Count Dracula.

If you're getting married on October 31st, a Halloween theme will definitely work for you. If you're having a religious ceremony I would leave the Halloween Spirit for the reception and just use fall colors for your arrangements and pew decorations.

Invitations for your Halloween Wedding Ideas

Your invites set the tone for your upcoming nuptials, so choose an orange invite or a beige invite with a Halloween design.

I've seen some black invites with orange writing to convey a Halloween theme, if that's the look that you're going for remember to make sure that your Halloween invitations have large enough lettering so that your guests don't have to strain their eyes to read about your nuptials.

Your bridesmaids can also wear orange or black dresses and carry a smaller version of your bouquet. They too can wear orange jewelry and an orange ornament in their hair.

Happy is the groom who can wear a black suit with a Halloween tie. Or if he prefers to be dressed more formally, how about a black tux with an orange cummerbund and orange boutonniere?

Remember to ask your caterer if they can arrange to have orange table cloths and black napkins. You can reverse the colors if you think there will be too much orange and that your centerpieces will stand out more if they're on a black table cloth.
