Halloween Weddings

Having a wedding on Halloween can be a lot of fun. But just because its a holiday you don’t have to necessarily keep it themed. Incorporating orange, black, and other autumn hues can be enough to keep the vibe alive. Be careful not to get too literal or it can turn out like a kids Halloween party and not a wedding.

Just don’t forget what the day means to you and try not to lose sight what is really important. Keep it simple and classy and everything should work out fine. Take cues from this well loved holiday and add fun elements through decor, text, and color and everything will fall into place. Creating a feeling of romance, whimsy, and mystery are perfect undertones for a spectacular event.

Here are some good examples I came across that should bring you inspiration, not just for a Halloween styled wedding but the fall season as well. Enjoy!

Every situation has its rules, so does the romantic atmosphere creation. In case you are wondering how to create this feel in your home, here are some simple tips that will help you be successful.

Candles
Candles are essential for adding romantic touches. You can use the help of the staff in the store or you can pick them out yourself. You can use them to create a path, in which you will need many small ones. You can also create special arrangements with them. You can lay flower petals in a bowls of water along with small candles, which will look very pretty when you light them up. Try using candles that are unique in shape and scent. They will help with the light in the room and will add a special accent to the space and atmosphere.

Music
Music can make such a difference. It will make the moments of silence special and in case you ran out of topics to discuss, you can also talk about the song that is playing at the moment. In the process of this conversation you may find other interesting topics to talk over. Long silences can be very embarrassing sometimes.

Dinner
Create a meal that is delicious as well as nice to look at. Having ugly items on your plates isn’t that romantic. As you prepare the menu you can include some special items that are famous for adding romance to a situation. This can be strawberries, chocolate, wine, and others.

Atmosphere
When you are preparing for a romantic evening, choosing a section in the living room is a good idea. Make sure its comfortable enough to rest after dinner is over. Staying at the table will be good to some point but after, you will soon feel uncomfortable on the chair and will love to stretch out somewhere. You may want to arrange some candles there as well. If the date eventually moves into the bedroom, you can dress it up a bit with romantic colors so it feels a little more special.

Appearance
Leave time to get ready and make sure you look your best. It is a fact that you feel more self-confident when you both look better. You will have plenty of time to pick the outfit that will give you both comfort and confidence at the same time. Just make sure you are comfortable and feel great.
