Did you read recently about the couple who got married dressed as vampires with a best man dressed as Jack Sparrow from “Pirates of the Caribbean” and an officiant dressed as Jason from the “Friday the 13th” movies? The groom arrived in a hearse and was carried to his spot in a coffin. The groom said his bride wanted this theme and the wedding was about her.
It doesn’t have to be close to Halloween to dress as characters from scary movies for your wedding, I’ve heard of many couples who love horror movies and and use it as their wedding theme.
Here are some ideas for carrying out this theme:
- Hold the wedding in a movie theater – many rent out for meetings and other events
- Dress as your favorite horror movie characters such as Frankenstein and his bride, Dracula and his bride, zombies, or for a fun horror theme, dress like characters from “The Adams Family” movies
- Attendants can wear all black or all red
- Use real or fake wilted or dead bouquets and boutonnieres or use black or blood red roses
- Serve popcorn from an old-fashioned movie popcorn maker – many party rental companies have them
- Have your wedding cake match your horror movie theme and top it with a director’s clapboard
- Ask your guests to dress as their favorite horror movie characters
Your wedding is your day, let it match your personality and interests.
