Hallo-wedding Tidbits

So the “It’s Fall, Y’all!”-ness of Autumnal weddings has you stumped, and Goth just isn’t your bag? Not to worry. We are so excited about our Halloween wedding tomorrow, where we have put crafty and delicate touches on a gorgeous sunny yellow and dove gray color palette for what is sure to be a striking affair. However, if you are planning a Halloween wedding for the future and want to play up the holiday’s strengths without trending toward the macabre, check out our ideas below:

Orange converse, coordinated ties, and fun argyle socks for the groomsmen or servers?

For a great laugh and even greater late night pictures, break out red wax lips and/or clown noses and pass among the guests to ramp up the energy:

A bit less daring, but still darling…place a spider ring at each place setting for guests to don:
