Thread: What a wonderful... Wedding? HUH??

Tweet

Oh man... So my boyfriend now fiancee and I agreed on getting the deed done... on 11-1-2010. This was decided 7-31-10 so now I have 2 months to have a wedding planned for about 100 people in my HAUNTED HOUSE!!!

We decided to have our wedding in front of our mausoleum in our backyard. However we don't have a mausoleum in our back yard so we are going from scratch. Our haunted house is going to have a grave yard and the mausoleum that is a walk-through with... I don't know what but it will have it. My problem is that I have to do a wedding after two days of Halloween walking through it.

Please Please help me out here. I need to keep it a little cheap and can DIY almost anything... (not mechanical) I have a dress and we are doing the guests wearing costumes. I will add what I can when I have it but at this point My BFGF is helping me and I don't know anything about haunted houses or halloween except for like history and what not.

I really want to do a masqurade but i know some people cant buy extra costumes. I need help with favors and decor, food... everything.
Everyone here is amazing with ideas I just hope someone can help with this.


I have my invitation idea: Cardstock cut into coffin boxes with the invitation inside. weird but I like it.

Thank you everyone.

Hallow and what a grand idea!! I have seen several Halloween theme weddings described here on HF - and as you know by now, you can't go wrong with the ideas you will find throughout the Forum.

Still, making a wedding plan - no matter the theme - is an essential tool to a successful, worry-free event.

Start a check list in three cate-gory-zzz!! lol:

Food (CAKE/DRINKS)
Music
Decorations


Then add your action plan and how you want the event to time out - start to finish. Once you have a head count you can plan your budget.

How 'bout both of you be wheeled into the ceremony at the proper time and pop out from inside coffins. The whole "till death do you part" theme will naturally fit right in!

Have fun and congrats!!

i am here trying to figure out decoration wise on the wedding theme Halloween. I am pretty much Stump...... Although I caught somewhere in the Forum that One had their arches done with flowers and skull heads. I like that idea alot!!!!

How about talking to florists about getting all their dead flowers? Make bouquets, cover an arch, etc. Ivory candles would also be great, the drippier the better. Use funeral wreaths (again with the dead flowers) at the end of chair rows instead of traditional pew bows.

I'm not going for the whole flowers and arch thing. We decided that we are going to add a cemetery to our haunted house with a mausoleum and we will stand under the mausoleum and have everyone in the graveyard. Our hand fasting (wedding) vows are going to have a lot of vampire references so its pretty cool. I am going to put pictures of everything as we get it up... I need help with Halloween theme stuff like food and drinks... I have a couple drinks we are adding and a professional bartender lined up... I don't know if I want row seating or just have everyone at tables for the ceremony. If I do row seats they will have to be moved to the tables when it's all done.

I don't really know what I'm doing here but I appreciate everyones help..

Actually... yes, they will if you ask for them, but if it is "too much", well then whatever. The OP asked for suggestions and can take or leave them.

well I like the idea and may use it for some of my center pieces

How about going as a severed head bride? The groom could dress up as a grave-digger. If you go to the site www.instructables.com and looking Halloween Costumes, I saw there was a posting on making a headless bride costume.
