Hmm...Does the word 'taste-less' spring to mind?

Hmm...Does the word 'taste-less' spring to mind?

This Unique Wedding Idea is a bit of an odd one, and it certainly won’t be to everyone’s taste, but if you are one of those people who take halloween very seriously, and want the focus of your wedding to be on the fun rather than the vows, then this could be right up your street.

If you are really and truly considering having a zombie-themed wedding than you’re probbly a bit of an off-beat couple- you should check out offbeatbride.com to get some inspiration and share your thoughts with like-minded newlyweds (or pre-weds). This blog is not here to judge anyone on their personal choices (though personally I believe a wedding should be a little more than a fancy dress party), the important thing is that your wedding should be everything that you and your partner want. It should be a joint exercise, a shared decision, a couple’s coupled wishes.

So…If it’s gothic you want, then gothic it is. You can really have fun here. Don’t hold back on the stage make-up. You could opt (like the pictured couple) to be carried down the aisle in coffins. I’m sure there are more than a few brides and grooms who have felt like they’re marching towards a death of sorts on their wedding day- these are the people who are now divorced of course.

For the wedding feast, go banquet style. Have an enormous long table with blood-red cloth,  laden with fruits piled high, drinking goblets and other gothicky treats. The menu could be styled around halloween theme- think green jellies with spiders (not real ones) encased inside, Perhaps for the main course, you could serve bloody steaks with beetroot, or a huge suckling pig (though this is more suited to a medieval-theme) You could adorn the reception area with cobwebs, huge (cracked if possible) mirrors, and candles aplenty.

Wedding lanterns might be just the thing for the end of the reception. On the stroke of midnight, release a handful to the chords of the Adams Family soundtrack playing in the background. With any luck, a hooting owl might chip in…spooky.
