So in one of the online communities that I'm part of (bleedingbeauty_) we have monthly themes, one of which is a cybershopping challenge. You have some sort of set budget (this month it was unlimited funds) and a theme to go off of. This month it was "Your Dream Wedding". If you didn't have a budget and could spend whatever you wanted, what would you do at your wedding?

I personally have wanted a Halloween themed wedding since I was about eight years old. So I went around on photobucket and flickr and found pictures that were close to what I'd like. I don't plan on getting married until my late 20's, but I'm already pretty set in my ways. I don't claim any of these pictures as mine, by the way, they're just being used as reference.

I'd like to get married outside, on Halloween, in an old cemetary. Lots of pretty fall leaves and a cool breeze and all of that. Maybe we could have the actual ceremony performed underneath a big, twisty tree. I'd like my husband or wife and I to have plots reserved at the cemetary we get married at, so that we start and end our lives together in the same place. I don't find the idea of getting married in a cemetary morbid at all; I think it's a beautiful way to tie together life and death.

Reception hall! There will be carved Jack O' Lanterns on the tables, Trick-or-Treat favor bags, candy corn scattered on the tables, and fun games like bobbing for apples. Pumpkin pie, sushi, and turkey with mashed potatoes will be served, as well as fun Halloween foods like Witches Brew and Dirt and pigs in a blanket that look like mummies. I want a keg of Pumpking beer too.

My flowers will look exactly like this.

So, whoever's wedding photo this is, I'm sorry I yanked it off of photobucket, but I really love the colors of your bridesmaid dresses. Not the style, particularly, but the colors are exactly what I want.

I DO NOT WANT A DIAMOND RING. I think diamonds are very overrated and boring. Plus, anyone that knows me knows that I'm a pearl girl through and through. I'd want our names engraved on the inside of our rings; mine would have my spouses and vice versa. But yes. I want a fucking pearl.

Pumpkin colored high heels! Obviously these are a must.

What I'll be wearing underneath my wedding dress. Rawr.

I LOVE THIS VEIL. I want something that's similar to a 50's pillbox hat; a long, flowy veil isn't really going to cut it for me.

Obviously this isn't the exact dress that I want, but I definitely want something with a tighter bodice that is really soft and feminine at the bottom.

My reception is going to be a costume ball...and EVERYONE has to dress up. I don't care if you're 82, you will be dressed up or you won't be at my reception, end of story. I would be dressed as a swan, allowing me to wear my wedding dress and simply put on a really elegant mask like this one.

Wedding topper! Or should I say...BEST WEDDING TOPPER EVER. There are a ton of Halloween toppers out there, but I really think that this one is the best out of all of them. I think it's very unique and super classy.

My cake doesn't have to look exactly like this, I just thought this was really pretty and it went well with my fall theme. I definitely want a tall, fancy cake made with fondant though.

Does this picture look familiar to you? It's a still from Hocus Pocus, haha. For music at my wedding I want a live band, playing mainly swing/old jazz music. They need to be dressed exactly like this. There is no arguing about it.

"Witchcraft" by Frank Sinatra. I'd like this song to be the first one my future husband or wife and I dance to at our wedding. It'd be a planned out dance of course, something that we took lessons weeks ahead of time in order to perfect.
