Tina, what a wonderful idea. I just love Halloween. My husband made me 2 life size coffins for my birthday a couple of years ago, and I just was so happy. Don't let me scare you, I am not totally wacky, I just really enjoy Halloween. If I could go back and redo my wedding, I think I would do what you are planning.
I don't know of any sites for halloween weddings, but I see another answerer to question gave you a few, but I had a few ideas I wanted to share with you. If you plan on getting married next Halloween, after Halloween this year, go to the stores, and buy decorations when they are marked down. You can load up on all kind of stuff. My husband and I were in Kmart one year and got Halloween items 90% off.
Are you going to ask that the quests come in costumes too? So, they can get into the "spirit" of the wedding. I seen a cake that was patterned after Jack the Pumpkin King, it was grogeous. We decorate our yard, and have had several haunted houses. If you have a beauty school around your area, check with them for the manniguan heads that they practice on. We use them for decorations, and making fake people. If you lived close by, my husband craves the most beautiful pumpkins. you could have the steps lined with craved pumpkins. We have built a torture rack, and the old fashion guilatine. We also have the things that you put your head through and hands. Like they did back in the Purtain days. For your reception, you could build some of those and let the quests take pictures. They aren't hard to make and pretty cheap too. There's so much you can do, and one thing about Halloween props they don't have to be perfect and beautiful. We made candle holders, and cages for creatures. Sam's has the coolest vampire bat, it's large and lights up $60. I am hoping for one of those for my birthday this year. lol
Make some awesome punch with frozen hands floating in it. We used red punch, and frozed clear ginger ale in plastic gloves. The possiblities are endless, I am so excited for you, wish I could help you. Lots of candles, orange and purple lights...Walmart. Again, if you got some cash this year you could really get some nice things. The hobby stores carry more items you could use at the receptions like trays and bowls. A lot of decorations you can make yourself, ghosts can be made out of cloth or for outside you can use plastic white garbage bags. The dollar tree stores have nice little halloween what-knots that you could use when doing your centerpeices, and again after the 31st you could get them for a fraction of the cost. Make sure you get a notebook and if you have a digital camera take pictures of everything you have so you won't over buy or buy the same thing twice.
You just have the most happiest of weddings, and the spookiest!
God bless us all..............

What a great idea!!! There are so many good ideas already submitted too! Definitely use the Addams Family Theme for introductions of the parents.... and have the MC use a ghoolish voice when doing the intros etc...... wow!
This is a great idea, I'm surprised nobody else has tried this before. Or maybe they have... do a google search for Halloween Weddings...... good luck!

The beauty of a Halloween wedding is that you don't have to wear an expensive white gown. You can wear anything from black to burgundy to purple to whatever. You (and your fiance) can dress up in any costume of your choice.
You could go with lots of traditional fall decorations and just have everyone dress up. Mention that costumes are requested so that guests have time to plan what they are going to wear.
http://www.oriental.com and http://www.currentcatalog.com have cute ideas and favors.
You could have a candy buffet table with Halloween candy of your choice.
For favors, you could make cds with your favorite Halloween music and put your favorite Halloween pics on the cover and cd itself.
Name your tables (and corresponding placecards) after your favorite Halloween/horror movies and put a postcard sized mini-poster of each on an easel so guests can locate them.
If you see anything this year that you like in the Halloween section at various stores, grab it because it won't be there next year.
I think a Halloween wedding sounds like a blast and memorable in a good way, and you can be very creative with it.

Here's an idea.... guests come in costume but pick a theme- will make for more fun and awesome pictures (and take some stress away from the guests...not everyone likes to dress up or is creative)...
Just a thought... hubby and I were thinking of getting married on halloween (6 years ago) but wound up doing April Fool's Day instead as it appealed to both of us more (for halloween my husband likes to dress up and I like to plan the stuff but not big into the "me in costume" part...)

Ooooh! That sounds like fun! My brother was supposed to have a halloween wedding but it never happened. I really wish I had waited a few months so I could've had mine then. Congrats!
