HalloWedding Made Elegant - A Spooky Wedding

Halloween themed weddings are a fun and fresh twist on the standard fall wedding trend. Especially this fall as couples attempt to navigate the issues caused by VIDOC, our wedding planners want to provide you with fun adaptations to still make your ceremony feel unique.

Even if your wedding goes virtual and your officiant is the only one besides you and your fiancé at the ceremony, we still want to help you plan a fun and unique wedding that you’ll always remember.

From pumpkin carvings to witches and ghosts to trick or treating at your reception, you can easily incorporate Halloween decorations and traditions into your special day without it feeling boring or gimmicky.

Read on for our wedding planners’ best tips and tricks on how to spice up your fall (virtual) wedding with a little dash of spooky and classy fun.

1. Theme Your Invitations

One of the best ways to set the tone for your wedding is through your invitations. Consider adding a few Halloween touches to your stationery to let guests know you’ll be celebrating a few different special occasions on your wedding day. You can also use Halloween colors as your main themes, like black, orange, or even red. A few touches of silver or gold sparkle will perfectly complement your invitation design. If your wedding’s gone virtual, apps like Canva can help you design similarly spooky-themed virtual invitations that will surely scare your guests into attending!

2. Costume Your Guests

With many weddings and ceremonies cutting attendance numbers or going virtual these days due to the increasing reaches of the VIDOC pandemic, your guests might need some fun ways to interact with you and your spouse, even from a distance. Invite them to get in on the fun by showing up to your ceremony or Zoom in costume.

You can still make your wedding yours by bringing guests in masks, fake mustaches, or any other costume piece you’d like so you and your guests truly have an all-inclusive experience.

3. Get Creative With Your Decorations

Whether your ceremony is in-person or happening over Zoom, there are lots of ways you can use scary Halloween decor to personalize your special day.

Zoom offers a variety of personalized digital backgrounds you can add to your screen, so guests streaming in can watch you get married in front of a haunted house, a spooky mansion, or any other creepy-crawly location your heart desires!

Likewise, if you’re doing an in-person ceremony but limited by space or budget, a few well-placed pumpkin carvings or bejeweled skulls will go a long way in conveying your spooky intentions to your guests.

4. Dress to Stare & Scare

The best thing about having a Halloween themed wedding is that it allows you to break from many bridal fashion traditions . Considering wearing a black wedding gown instead of a white one? Wanting your fiancé to walk down the aisle in a sleek black and red tux or a beautifully colored floral headpiece?
