A gas mask-erade wedding fit for the impending zombie apocalypse

James and Ashley are Halloween fiends, so this Halloween wedding with gas masks, a zombie cake, and Beetlejuice ring hand gave us chills in ALL the best ways. Don’t miss Ashley’s short and sweet Halloween-inspired dress, the zombie hand holding the rings, the orange and purple accents everywhere, the pumpkin cufflinks, and the masquerade masks and gas masks… making this a total mask-erade wedding.

Ashley hand-painted the cake toppers on their spider web Halloween cake to include their zombie pooch. Are you ready to see this killer zombie gas mask-erade wedding?! We are, too…

Find the killer at this murder mystery wedding with 3 Gothic themes

To say this was an elaborate Halloween gothic-themed wedding would be an understatement. You’ll dig ALL of these details. They started off the weekend with an interactive film noir murder mystery party, had a twilight horse and carriage ride after the cemetery ceremony, and had THREE gothic themes for their seriously killer reception. Think Victorian Gothic, Spanish Gothic, and American Gothic. You don’t want to miss this one…

Sea-inspired wedding meets masquerade

Rubber ducks and blue hair: we love this sea-inspired wedding meets masquerade

Rachel and Rial love whimsy and some of their memories are of enjoying the ocean together, so naturally, their wedding had a sea-inspired wedding meets masquerade. Their wedding showcased the most vibrant colors for hair, bouquets (made by Rachel), wedding party attire, elaborate masks, sea glass, and even rubber duckies for party favors because they are one of Rial’s favorite things. Oh, and the rubber ducky cake toppers were hand painted to match their hair and attire of the couple. You’ll love the groom’s vows on bended knee!

A curious masquerade wedding of oddities and glamour

The theme started out as just “masquerade,” as I’ve always wanted to have or attend a masquerade ball, but as we began to brainstorm ideas, we started working bits of ourselves into the details. My husband and I have a large collection of antiques and oddities, and we ended up incorporating different pieces from our home into each of the centerpieces and the decor. Thus, “The Curious Masquerade” was born. Maps, medical models, scientific instruments, antique candelabras, and other various things all got (carefully!) flora-fied and bedecked.
