Barn Wedding Decoration Ideas for Your Halloween Event
Everyone loves a fall wedding. The weather is perfect for a crisp outdoor ceremony; the autumn leaves provide a natural backdrop of reds, yellows, and oranges. Fall foods and drinks make the perfect reception accessories. The only thing more memorable than an autumn wedding is a Halloween wedding! Find inspiration for your haunting nuptials from these terrifyingly sweet Halloween barn wedding ideas.
Get spooky in style
Festive attire is the cornerstone of the scariest holiday of the year, but dressing for your Halloween wedding does not have to be frightening. Bring the festive spirit to your nuptials with these classy Halloween outfit ideas for everyone from the bride to your guests.
Textured Wedding Gown
The secret is out: you can have a Halloween wedding and still wear a white gown! If you want a more subtle way to incorporate the season into your dream wedding dress, search for gowns with texture, sparkle, and edgy details rather than going all-in with a black gown. Spiderweb lace, wrapped chiffon, and purple sequins pay homage to the season’s fearful sights. Accessorize with black or purple gloves, shimmery shoes, and a killer headpiece to complete your bridal look.
Scary Suits
Your favorite suit-wearing loved ones can get in on the fun, too! Sneak subtle (or not-so-subtle, if that’s more your style) spooky accessories into your partner’s suit ensemble. Play off of the details in your dress to create a cohesive look. Crafting coordinating looks is the key to communicating a theme without overdoing it. We love using a purple floral pocket square, a festive tie, or a silver belt to bring it all together.
Creating a Creepy Dress Code
When you communicate your dress code to your guests, clarify that your wedding is not a costume party. Themed events can be challenging to plan, especially regarding guests’ attire, so more information is better. Include inspirational photos on your wedding website to steer your loved ones in the appropriate direction (and scare them into dressing for the occasion).
Halloween Barn wedding ideas
The decor you incorporate can make or break a theme. You’ll love these subtle Halloween barn wedding decoration ideas if your style is more classic than creepy. Forget the cobwebs, bubbling cauldrons, and skeletons, and shift your focus to elements that embody the holiday spirit.
Tablescapes
Use mood lighting to create a suspenseful dinner atmosphere inspired by popular thrillers like The Menu. Tapered candlesticks, dim LED lights, and floating tea lights will have your guests at the edge of their seats. Use a cheesecloth table runner and dried flowers to complete the look.
Undead Entrance
Welcome your guests in (zombie) style with an elaborate grand entrance from the grave. Place distressed silver and black candle holders, vases, and lanterns along the entryway to lead your guests to the last best night of their lives. A clever welcome sign featuring a themed phrase (we love “Until we’re ghosts” and “We’ve been dying to see you”) is the perfect final touch to this underworld-ly walkway.
