What was the wedding theme?

The theme was Halloween/autumn inspired

A Halloween themed wedding doesn’t have to be all about dark colour palettes and plastic spider coving the tables. It doesn’t have to be set in a gothic looking wedding venue or just be for the alternative bride and groom. A Halloween themed wedding can be created very tasteful and just as gorgeous as any other wedding. This Halloween/ autumn themed wedding is just as stunning as a summer wedding with autumnal colours and cute pumpkins and ghosty wedding favours giving that Halloween inspo.

What was the colour palette?

Mustard, deep red, forest green and vibrant orange. Simply Bow decorated the room beautifully adding forest green chair bows which matched the ceremony arch backdrop by Bloomin Lovely Occasions . The vibrant orange pampas detail tied in perfectly with the stunning wedding flowers create by Lottie Roberts.

Where was the wedding venue?

Thornton Hall in North Yorkshire loves Halloween, it has a trick or treat street during the Halloween weeks and a pumpkin patch for you big Halloween fans. I would say the main draw to this beautiful wedding venue is the amazing views. There’s the option to hold the wedding ceremony outdoors. If October is a little chilly for an outdoor wedding, their ceremony room provides stunning views of the rolling North Yorkshire hills also.

Who was the Wedding photographer

I created the wedding photographer. As a Skipton wedding photographer, I am only 15 minute from Thornton Hall. Halloween inspired weddings are fun and your wedding photography should reflect this. As well as documenting the day and beautiful wedding décor I like to have fun with the bride and groom, so we headed to the pumpkin patch for couple portraits. The photos of them holding the pumpkins are my favourite.
