Good news for modern brides who prefer cooler temps over sunny Summer days: wedding season has broadened to include the Fall and Winter months.

Graveyards, skulls, and jack-o'-lanterns aren't typically associated with a wedding, but if you're brave enough to go a little dark on your big day, a Halloween-themed bash is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. The spooky holiday is coming up, so get in the spirit of All Hallows' Eve with these hauntingly fun and beautiful Halloween weddings!
