How a bride and her mother hand-crafted a fantastical steampunk wedding ensemble
I hope you have a spare pair of underthings at the ready, because after this post about Dana’s infathomably gorgeous hand-crafted steampunk wedding dress, you’re going to need to go change yourself. I mean, OBVIOUSLY everyone at this wedding looked like they just stepped out of some neo-Victorian psychedlic wet-dream, saturated in rich colors and brass baubles and amazingness. But the bride’s dress was crafted from an old prom dress and a parachute — the story simply must be shared, straight from the bride’s mouth.

Phantom meets Halloween in this DIY masquerade wedding in Florida
When your groom is an artist capable of sculpting amazing gothic statues, you have to include them in your wedding decor. He also made their centerpieces and the amazing trees that fill their reception space. Kari does, and she and Rick DIYed this opulent, elegant, period-inspired masquerade Halloween wedding that we can all gawk at. Do gawk away, lovers.
Kerri & Chris’ trick-or-treat Halloween military wedding
A Halloween theme, zombie-themed live band, and a saber arch in one wedding? Hell yes. This rockin’ party had these influences and more, including pumpkin carving, a candy buffet, and real live trick-or-treaters busting in. Even though the bride almost didn’t get her dress in time due to a volcano(!), they still managed to host a kick-ass party, giving us another great wedding for Halloween week.

The Buffy theme for the processional, the Dexter theme for the cake cutting… already I’m totally down with this.

Jamie & Nick’s self-catered Halloween theater wedding
Fog machines rock until they set the fire alarm off. Thankfully this pair had a great attitude and helpful friends to help them pull of their Halloween-themed DIY party despite that little setback. And you’ll love their paper burning ceremony to rid them of all their skeletons in the closet. Halloween week rocks!
