We’ve compiled a few ideas for you to sink your fangs into!
Decoration
Small changes can make a huge difference. A nighttime wedding for example completely changes the dynamic, what was once light becomes dark, what was once dark becomes light. A similar effect can be made with thematic lighting, such as using candles or devilish red and purple tinted lights. These are cost-effective ways to create an eerie atmosphere.[row] [col span=”1/4″] [ux_image id=”5330″ image_size=”thumbnail” lightbox=”1″] [/col] [col span=”1/4″] [ux_image id=”5328″ image_size=”thumbnail” lightbox=”1″] [/col] [col span=”1/4″] [ux_image id=”5329″ image_size=”thumbnail” lightbox=”1″] [/col] [col span=”1/4″] [ux_image id=”5331″ image_size=”thumbnail” lightbox=”1″] [/col] [/row]
Table Decor
You can get creative with this, having skull or pumpkin centrepieces for example. Webbed or otherwise dark linen can be draped over the tables.[ux_image id=”5332″ image_size=”medium”]

While you’re at it, you could include your guests in the Dress-Up department. A wedding packed with ghouls and gremlins (or Mario’s and Astronauts if that’s your preference)is sure to set the atmosphere.
Halloween is fun, enjoy your time in the moonlight, let the darkness consume you and revel in Gothic Romance. When the underworld comes upon us, dance with the spirits and twirl with the spectres. Enjoy your night, it’s sure to be spooktastic.
