 BROWSE THROUGH OUR WEDDING SUPPLIES


Q.
We are planning a "Halloween Wedding" my problem is am having such a hard time finding Halloween Wedding Decorations, Invitations, Cakes, etc. Do you know where I can find everything I need for my Halloween Wedding?
A. At Halloween, it is easy to go overboard and make your wedding into a spectacle rather than a tasteful event.  The choice is yours about how far into the Halloween mode you want to go.  You will need to decide if you want the wedding party or guests to wear costumes and whether you want black cats, witches, and other typical things associated with Halloween to be part of your day. If you want costumes, visit a costume shop and see what they have.  You will need to reserve items very early, since the better costumes go quickly at Halloween.
 
For invitations, you may need to go with a fall look.  You may be able to find them with pumpkins, and I know you can find them with fall leaves.  Your invitations dealer should be able to provide information.  You may find a black cat, but not necessarily a scary one.
 
Following are some other ideas that should get you started.
  • Use black tablecloths at the reception with either an orange topper over it or an orange napkin in the center of the table under your centerpiece.
  • Twinkle lights are available near Halloween in black, orange, and green.  Use them throughout your reception area.
  • Consider using pumpkins and cornstalks as decorations.  Large pumpkins and/or large carved ones can be placed throughout the room.  You could use small jackolanterns for centerpieces or use small pumpkins filled with fall flowers.  For the ceremony, use a pumpkin filled with flowers on the altar or other area near where you will be married.
  • Choose flowers in shades of orange, rust, yellow and other fall colors for bouquets.  Add some fall leaves for additional color.
  • Consider serving pumpkin cake as the wedding cake.  It can be decorated with black and orange.  Be careful, however, about getting any frosting on clothing, yours or the guests, because the food coloring permanently stains.
  • Serve hot spiced cider as one of your beverage choices.
  • Ask your DJ for music that fits the holiday.  They should be able to suggest a variety of songs from movie sound tracks that would be appropriate.
