Help me…this Halloween inspired wedding is so elegant, beautiful and lovely it hurts!  I’m not crazy about themed weddings where the officiant is dressed up as Frankenstein and the Bride and Groom walk down the aisle to The Monster Mash….don’t get me wrong, personalizing your wedding is my middle name, but I prefer to save the themey affairs for the party scene.  The wedding ceremony should have more of a feeling of simple elegance and reverence. 

But a wedding IS a celebration and DOES reflect the season, the couple’s style and tastes.  That said, this inspiration board is a wonderful example of how to take even the most silly and playful of holidays and turn it into an absolutely divine celebration!
