Halloween Nuptials

I didn't get married on Halloween. I did get married in October - the 27th to be exact. Yes that's me (below) over 19 years ago. A friend who saw a "from the waist up" version of me in this get-up thought it was a costume. Yes, I'm the local Halloween freak so who would of thought I would have had an actual wedding gown?!

October 2009 brides are already knee deep in planning their big day and it looks like the wedding industry is being very accommodating to the Halloween theme. From cakes to gowns - everything is available for the corpse bride. If I were to get married on Halloween in these modern times here are some things that would catch my eye...

These gothic styled invitations will clue the guests to the fact this is not your average bubble gum wedding. Go to Better Home and Gardens for the how-to:


Or maybe something a little more in the Halloween vein? Try these black and orange invites from FineStationary.com:


The Maggie Sottero "Edwina" gown is hauntingly elegant.


Or, maybe I'd go with something like this Maureen Myring Kesterton Ribbons and Roses gown in black velvet:




Love this gothic style wedding cake I found on flickr by breedbate:


PinkCakeBox.com had several themed cakes that would be perfect for a Halloween wedding but this one is my favorite:


Of course I'd have to get married in the perfect gothic cathedral ... preferably in Europe .... with a horse and carriage for my limo ... Well, a girl can dream, right?
