So, you're a Halloween enthusiast, or late October was the only available slot at your dream venue. Either way, your wedding date comes with some expectations. You aren't required to have a Halloween-themed wedding, but it is always fun to have a cohesive theme, and this one kind of comes with the territory. Even if you're absolutely against orange and yellow decorations, you can still have a celebration that alludes to the spooky holiday.

Deep purples, blacks, and other rich colors are perfect for a classy late-October wedding. There are other non-Halloween fall wedding color schemes, too, that can make your event festive, sans the corny.

All of the Halloween wedding ideas presented below give twists on the traditional decorations and ideas to make your event sophisticated, sleek, and chic: there are no jack-o-lanterns included, but posh pumpkins are aplenty. This list only presents Halloween party ideas that brides would actually want to have at their holiday wedding.

From Halloween party food ideas that are totally festive but equally fancy to Halloween wedding decorations that instill a bit of spook but just as much sophistication, this collection of 34+ Halloween Wedding Ideas will impress your guests.
