Whether it’s the legend of Sleepy Hallow or just an autumn breeze, we’re, admittedly, getting a bit spooked. So, let’s lean into the spirit of Halloween by sharing some spooky All Hallows’ Eve inspiration for your wedding celebrations!

1. A Historic Venue

The venue for your Halloween Wedding should feel a bit gothic and old-world. The Hollywood Castle (as seen in this Harry Potter Inspired Wedding) makes for the perfect backdrop. And decor tip? Tall candles for family seating tables make for the perfect Halloween wedding reception decor.
