Halloween Themed Wedding Attire

Find your inspiration for a Halloween wedding dress and more!

 

Bridal Attire

Don’t be afraid to think outside of the box when deciding on the Halloween wedding gown that you’ll wear on your special day. 

A black wedding dress made of layers of tulle or velvet will photograph beautifully for the years to come. You can never go wrong with complimenting your outfit with a matching veil!

 

Bridesmaids

Add a splash of color to your elegant Halloween wedding photos by inviting your bridesmaids to wear orange gowns. If this idea doesn’t sound perfect for your espousal, encourage them to wear other autumn shades like mahogany, teal, or gold!

Like our above recommendation for brides, you could also have your bridesmaids wear black dresses for a unique and spooky look!

Groom

For a groom who wants to skip out on wearing a classic tuxedo, nothing is a better choice than a burgundy or tweed jacket for a horror themed wedding. Don’t hesitate to wear boots instead of loafers or oxford shoes as well!

Groomsmen

When thinking of what to wear during a gothic themed wedding, keep in mind that you don’t want to outshine the groom with your attire. Choose a russet or bronze suit as a fun alternative while sticking to an autumnal palette!
