For your viewing pleasure, I give you another collection of fine wedding cakes of epicness.
ghost halloween wedding cake
Wow, an amazing pumpkin wedding cake
The World's Cutest Bat Halloween Cake!
I love the modernist design of this. It looks like it should belong in an art gallery.
ghosts, ghosts, everywhere!
Alternative Wedding Cakes is now a regular feature here on wedding skulls. Looking at delicious, crazy, and weird wedding cakes is one of the best parts of being a wedding blogger. I just wish I get to eat them, too.

I know Wedding Skulls readers love anything a little different from the “normal” wedding stuff, so I’ve been thinking about alternatives to the boring guestbook. At our wedding, we have a notebook my mum found in a hippy shop, with a resin cover moulded like a demonic Necronomicon, and a skull pen magnetically attached to the cover. It’s awesome.
A guest book is meant to be a memento for you, so you can look back and remember who came, and read the lovely wishes they wrote for you on your wedding day. I’m a big fan of guestbooks that let guests be as creative as possible, because I think that makes for a fun book to look back on. Perhaps you’ll enjoy one of... »View More

The wedding cake – the centrepiece of the evening’s festivities. The sight the first greets your guests as they enter the reception hall. The towering effigy of fondant and buttercream. For the alternative bride, a wedding cake doesn’t have to be a tiered bundle of white and pink icing flowers – she can have skulls and bats and cobwebs and polka dots and crooked cakes and chainsaw massacres and anything she wants! Given these stunning beauties, it’s a wonder any couple choose to go with the old school white tower anymore.
I’ve been compiling a file of wedding cake inspirations, so you shall be seeing many more cake inspiration posts over the next year. I may... »View More

You might not know this, but my favorite part of wedding planning isn’t the dresses, or the invitations, or the photography – it’s the wedding cakes. And gothic / halloween wedding cakes absolutely WIN when it comes to unique, beautiful cake designs.
I share with you now a few pictures from my internet perusings. I don’t have sources for any of these pictures, so if you know from whence they came, please let me know so I can correctly attribute these talented cake designers.
Will you be having a gothic or halloween wedding cake? What have you chosen as an inspiration? Would you like to see MORE pictures of beautiful gothic wedding cakes? (I have more. So many more.)

Lots of Skully Brides and Grooms celebrating Halloween by getting hitched. For your pleasure, links to some of the awesomest Halloween wedding bling around the web:
Offbeat Bride has been featuring Halloween Weddings all month long: You might recognise the couple getting married at this Haunted Heavy Metal Viking Wedding of Epicness.
What do you think of this story? An Elmsford couple’s Halloween Wedding was not allowed at Sleepy Hollow church. On the one hand, I always think it’s sad when people misinterpret gothic / Halloween weddings as jokes, and the people that choose them as Satanists. On the other hand, if you’re having a wedding in a church, even a church in a haunted town, you... »View More

Happy Halloween everybody – I hope you all had a spooky weekend. CDH and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary on Sunday, with an exchange of gifts (Pandora beads and a book on building model trains), a pub lunch, looking at houses to rent, a kick ass bbq hosted by friends, cupcakes, “eyeballs”, cardboard guitars, silly talk, and a Halloween gig to top it off.
I’m happy to announce the winners of the Halloween Competition are Darkangelwingz and Malice Ann – a copy of the Halloween Wedding Planner is winging it’s way to you ladies today!
I’m behind on work, blogging and writing at the moment, and I’m desperately searching for a place for CDH and I... »View More

I love a couple who buck wedding traditions all in the name of having a fun, memorable party. Helan and Scott started their wedding with a traditional church ceremony. But their wedding reception was anything but traditional …

Yaaarrrrr!
I might have mentioned this before, but I thought I’d better do a whole post on the topic. Just in time for Etsy Day, Wedding Skulls now has an Etsy shop! You can buy both wedding planner ebooks there – as well as my writing ebooks, and copywriting / marketing writing packages for Etsy shops.
But that’s not the best part. A good friend of mine – Amy Beales – has come on board as well. She’s selling her beautiful line of gothic clothing and accessories, including wedding garters, favor bags, rosaries, coats, corsets, bags and more. Every one of her creations is custom made to your exact measurements, so you can change the colours/fabrics if you desire.... »View More
