Eerie Halloween Wedding Ideas

• Wedding Invitation: A wedding invitation is indispensible to a wedding and if the wedding has a Halloween theme then it is difficult to get a Halloween themed wedding invitation card. However, this will certainly add to the spectacular theme.

You may make your own wedding invitations and order or customized a Halloween party invitation. Use the Halloween colors such as orange, black or purple for the card.

• Wedding Decorations: Ambience of the wedding venue is important to make sure it complements the Halloween theme. Use the black and red color theme for the wedding decorations to look creepy. Even black and orange or red with yellow combination will give a great Halloween touch to the decorations.

Use Halloween props such as black netting table cloth with twinkle and glowing lights, wall clings and wall decals with monsters and insects, dead tree branches etc. Use these props to decorate the wedding venue and to add the effect hang carved pumpkin with glowing lights and also hang black light strings at the doorway.

• Wedding Ensemble: The bride and the bridegroom need to have a unique and antique dress to go along with the theme. Bride may capture a Victorian-influenced hairstyle or an uneven layer cut to look weird, or you may wear spider hair-clips.

For the attire ideas, brides may follow a vampire theme or even they may dress up as a Dracula’s bride. Use sleek black gloves, the wedding gown may be in red or black color and also prefer a black veil to the traditional white one.

Bridegrooms can dress up in black or red that complements the bride. Also, they may opt to wear black tuxedos with blood red cummerbunds. Wearing monster masks may be an aid to the look.

• Wedding Cake: Most important of all, order the wedding cake that complements the Halloween theme. You may select from various ideas spawning from a coffin shaped cake, cake in a haunted house shape to a normal cake with spider web-shaped icings.

Cake toppers such as ghost couple, skull, crossed bones or a witch may add to the creepy look for the occasion.

• Cocktails and Food: Include Halloween recipes and cocktails for the wedding food menu. Drinks decorated and served with Halloween props such as spider webs and gummy insects match best with the theme.

Order Halloween recipes such as eyeballs sandwiches, salads served in pumpkin carved in skull shape and Dracula finger cookies, or skeleton shaped cookies may be delicious and a scary surprise for the guests.

1. I love this design by the  Pink Cake Box because while it offers a lot of Halloween drama – the color scheme mixed with flowers, butterflies and dragonflies gives it a gorgeous dramatic romance look.  2. Our second cake was found on the Wedding.com forums an incorporates dark colors and skulls with red roses and spiderwebs – a fantastic grooms cake option for a Halloween wedding.

3. I haven’t been able to find out who made this cake but I love the whimsical style. Definitely a great choice for a bride who wants to incorporate Halloween but not to the extreme. 4. This cake from Not Your Average Cake is absolutely gorgeous – but add a few bats and skulls and a skeleton bride and groom and voila – you’ve got an elegant Halloween wedding cake!

5 & 6 – If you’re looking for something a little more subtle, a red and black cake like these ones from I Do… Inspiration and Cake Coquette is the way to go. The dramatic, dark colors will give your cake the dark romantic look of Halloween without going to overboard.
