The Bridesmaids
For a subtle nod to Halloween, outfit the bridesmaids in traditional black dresses with orange bouquets. The bright bouquets will really pop without being overwhelmingly kitschy.

The Flower Girl
If you're (understandably!) not Halloween obsessed enough to ditch the dress in favor of a costume then outfit your flower girl in an adorable costume instead.

The Cocktails
Candy isn't the only Halloween treat you can indulge in. Surprise your guests with a pun-ny adults only concoction.

The Glassware
If traditional American Halloween isn't your style, then incorporate a Mexican Dia de los Muertos theme. These sugar skull motifs might seem spooky, but in Mexico they're served as treats for deceased family members who come back to visit with their loved ones.

The Reception Decor
Farm tables and pumpkins create the perfect rustic vibe, with a black and white striped table runner to tie in Halloween colors in a way that's sophisticated and doesn't go overboard.

The Dessert Bar
Ok, so it just wouldn't be Halloween without an array of sickeningly sweet treats, guests will be happy they won't have to walk from door to door in order to get their sugar fix!

The Cake
The cake (or at the very least the groom's cake) is a place to get creative and show off your Halloween spirit.

Not A Fan of Orange and Black?
If orange and black isn't your ideal color combo, but you still want to incorporate Halloween into the decor try a white pumpkin centerpiece instead. The color palette is modern and creates texture without screaming "TRICK OR TREAT" like a sugared up school kid.
"It is very important when you are interviewing your vendors to trust your instincts. Do you like the person? Do you want to spend time with that vendor? Can you give that vendor money and know you're going to be well taken care of?"
