Answer
An Elegant Halloween Wedding Theme
Glowing candles, grinning pumpkins and a moonlit night. What a great beginning for a Halloween Wedding. Most people can easily turn a Halloween party into a wedding, however, consider adding some polish to this special night. Here are some suggestions that incorporate elegance with pure Halloween fun.
Wedding Party Attire
Bride:
A slim fitting dress in the Mortica (Addams Family) style would work nicely. You may also choose to have your gown choice died black or red. Add a black cape with red lining, black veil and long, sleek black gloves.
Bridesmaids:
Slim fitting black, red, or orange dresses with matching capes or sheer long scarves. Instead of a regular neckline, consider having a seamstress add a high, stiff collar to frame their faces. Use tiara's in their hair or matching ribbons.
Groom and groomsmen:
Wear black tuxedos with red cummerbunds. Another option would be black shirts, black slacks and a red-lined black cape with high collar and black top hat with cane (old-fashioned Dracula style).
Suggested Halloween Wedding Bouquets
Carry blood red or black roses. If you've decided to use orange as a wedding color, you may wish to opt for orange colored flowers such as: Orange Hawkweed, Day Lily's, Tiger Lily's, Orange/Yellow Freesia's, Orange Roses, Orange Poppy's. Remember that you can often get a variety of flowers dipped or dyed to suit your wedding colors.
Halloween Wedding Centerpieces
Decorate hollowed out gourds or small pumpkins with black, red, orange and/or yellow flowers. Add a few props to the arrangement, such as small scarecrows, plastic pumpkins, small ghosts, gold stars or moon, etc.
You could also hollow out miniature pumpkins and insert a votive or pillar candle inside.
Create miniature tombstones from Styrofoam painted dark grey. Add a catchy epitaph and decorate the base with a miniature flower bouquet.
Orange and black pillar candles in varying heights placed on small round mirrors. Tie a coordinating ribbon bow around the base of the candle. Scatter a few fake leaves in autumn colors on the mirror.
Use wrought-iron style candelabras with taper candles.
Halloween Theme Wedding Decorations
Decorate doorways and the front of tables with black and orange, red or yellow crepe paper. Or drape with black netting and added contrasting bows where the netting is secured. You could also wrap your main tables in miniature twinkle lights under the tulle.
Get large dead branches (don't cut live trees) and use as tree props. Add white, yellow or orange miniature twinkle lights to the branches. Secure in pots filled with sand and covered with shiny orange or black wrapping paper. Place around room.
As an extra added effect, hang strings of black lights around the bar area, rest rooms and doorways.
Make a large round moon from cardboard covered with shiny yellow foil paper and secure from the ceiling. Add a "flying witch" next to it. Create additional atmosphere with hanging bats and gold stars. If you could set this up near a wall that you've covered with black material, it would look awesome.
Place a coffin in one corner of the room (you can easily make one from large cardboard boxes and paint it black). Add Dracula to the coffin by stuffing a dark suit with a white shirt, adding a cape and placing a Dracula mask over a balloon. Then make a coffin for "Mrs. Dracula". You could also make several tombstones from cardboard boxes, paintthem in grey and/or black, add a funny epitaph and make a small graveyard.
Instead of your usual grinning jack-o-lantern, consider having pumpkins carved in unique designs. There are many patterns available and they would provide a unique touch to your wedding. Place the pumpkins throughout the room, but be sure if you are using candles that they are not near anything flammable and cannot easily be tipped over. Better yet, consider using a battery-powered light or one that can be plugged in nearby.
Cover the top of the tables in black or midnight blue tablecloths. Decorate these with gold sparkled fabric pens in the shapes of stars, suns and moons (use stencils that can be bought for stenciling walls with paint).
Place a large cauldron on the main serving table and add dry ice to create a smoke effect. (Do not use this to serve drinks from).
Creepy Entertainment For Your Wedding
Hire a fortuneteller to dress up as a gypsy and give short readings. You can opt to pay for this and come up with a set price for the evening or have guests pay for their own readings. Be sure they are kept short (5 to 10 minutes) and that the price reflects this.
Have the DJ play songs such as the Monster Mash, Ghostbusters, Thriller, and other suitable Halloween songs throughout the evening.
Halloween Wedding Party Favors
Use the traditional Halloween treat bags and fill with Halloween candy.

What to do with an old wedding gown?
Everybody'
We are divorced as of last week, but I still have my wedding dress. It's pretty, was designed and custom made for me. I've never sold anything on e-bay although I tried. I no longer have sentimental reasons to keep it, and I don't want my (non-existing) daughter to wear it.
I have a whole bunch of stuff from my "past life", any advise on that? I already gave him back all his stuff.
Answer
Post an ad in the paper or online... but don't charge anything for the dress. Give it to someone who really can use it. You will profit more from turning a bad memory into someone else's happy future, who can benefit from a nice dress. Many brides would love to have something nice to wear but can't afford it. Then you've made someone happy and given yourself some good karma too :)
