We love an October wedding as much as the next, but some couples are taking it to a whole new level with Halloween-themed wedding cakes. It’s not just creepy cakes, some couples are choosing a Halloween theme for the entire wedding ceremony. Where more traditional weddings lean into romance, others take a different approach and use the event to express the couples’ personalities.
