Halloween Additions for Your Fall Wedding

Getting married in the fall means you have a long list of ways to incorporate the colors, scents, and holidays into your wedding. Giving your celebration a seasonal touch lets your guests enjoy a hint of something that puts them up close and personal with the special themes of that time of year.

If you or your partner are big fans of Halloween and want to find ways to add spooky decor, sweet candy, or color schemes, here are six easy ways to add a dash of all of that into your fall wedding!

Sweet Party Favors

When you’re brainstorming your party favors, consider incorporating your favorite part of Halloween into a takeaway gift for your guests.

If you’re a fan of candy, put together small bags of your and your fiance's favorite sweets and tie them with orange and black ribbons.

If you love pumpkins, give out mini pumpkins with your and your fiance’s initials painted on them. This is a fun way to share something special with your guests that they can use after the wedding and continue to celebrate the season.

Spooky Centerpieces

Think about what kind of decor elements you want to add to your celebration. If you’re going with large bouquets of flowers, consider decorating around that with a few Halloween-items — like silver or gold spray-painted skulls or subtle spider webs.

The After-Party

If you adore Halloween, but you don’t want to make your wedding costume-themed, consider doing a Halloween-themed after-party where guests can change into costumes. It’s a fun way to keep the celebration going and lets your guests change out of their party clothes and into something else a little special and spooky.

Halloween-Themed Desserts

Skip the formal cake and consider having a Halloween-themed dessert bar or cake instead. Opt for candy apples or cupcakes with chocolate witch hats on them. If you want to go with an option that fits in with the theme of your wedding, you can swap the vanilla frosting and go with pumpkin instead.

Seasonal Color Schemes

When you’re deciding on your overall color scheme for the wedding, consider some fall and Halloween colors. Think shades of orange, cranberry, forest green, black, or white. You can use these colors in the florals, centerpieces, table clothes, and napkins.

Pumpkins and More Pumpkins

You can never go wrong with sprinkling in pumpkins as part of your decor. Consider getting some of varying sizes to use on tables, at the entrance, and even to line your aisle for the ceremony.
