Elegant Halloween Wedding Ideas

On a budget? No matter what you have to allocate for a wedding, it’s possible to have an elegant Halloween wedding. Flowers can be simple, yet make a stunning statement for a Halloween wedding.

1. Nail Your Spooky Bridal Look

Wear Braided Halloween Hair with Rosettes

This is one of the most beautiful wedding looks I’ve seen! Her hair is swept to the side with a chunky braid complete with wound roses. This is such an elegant Halloween wedding look for the bride who just wants to give a nod to spookiness. What beautiful wedding hair she has!

Opt for Halloween Makeup with a Touch of Spooky

Not overdone and oh so lovely, a dark lip and multi-toned eye are perfect for fall in general. A bit of a nod to Halloween is in the sparkles along her cheek under the eye. It’s such a beautifully done statement without being exaggerated.

Choose Gothic Wedding Dress Colors (for Bridesmaids, too!)

Black wedding dresses used to be taboo, but anything goes nowadays – especially with a Halloween wedding. If black doesn’t suit your taste, dress in a dark color – such as burgundy, brown, or deep plum. Another option would be to have your bridal party each purchase a Halloween wedding dress of their choice in a dark hue to add to the overall vibe of deeper tones.

2. Consider Halloween Wedding Cakes

Cakes definitely take center stage during a reception, and this one is so interesting. Instead of icing, this masterpiece is covered in dried pears in varying hues to create an ombre look. It’s almost mesmerizing to look at, don’t you think?

Of course, your color palette comes into play when choosing a Halloween wedding cake. Just because it’s a holiday-centric wedding doesn’t mean that you can’t have a unique, gorgeous cake for your big day. The one below is so stunning!

3. Choose Halloween Wedding Flowers

When considering Halloween wedding flowers, picking deep, autumnal tones in a natural arrangement is perfect. The more organic looking, the better! Roses, blue thistle, and protea are accented by various greenery and natural elements to create a stunning Halloween wedding bouquet.

Actually, this bridal bouquet would be beautiful for any cold-weather wedding. The whispy look and “just found” feel of these flowers fit in perfectly with fall weddings, and the colors add to the autumn wedding theme.

4. Be Creative About Halloween Wedding Venues

Having a Halloween wedding? Venues are almost limitless if you are going for a spooky vibe. A wooded area is perfect for hosting your ceremony, or you may want to opt for an outdoor bridal session at a somewhat creepy location.

Either way, the mood will be set with the wind blowing and the crisp air. The idea is that you can really get creative by using a non-traditional wedding venue or even an abandoned location for your ceremony and/or reception.
