All kinds of flowers were used to top the jack-o-lantern centerpieces. The pumpkins were carved by all their friends at the rehearsal dinner. Pincushion protea, seeded eucalyptus, sea thistle, kangaroo paw, spray roses, dahlias, waxflower, hocus pocus roses, scabiosa and celosia were some of the flowers used.
Phil's boutonniere was a schwartzwalder calla - a purple so deep it is almost black.
The mom's corsages were black magic roses.

The bridal bouquet wouldn't have been complete without a spider...
Sea thistle - one of my favorite flowers to use.
Bridesmaids held chocolate dahlias, sea thistle, wax flower and schwartzwalder callas wrapped in platinum ribbon.
Now, Christine and Phil were married in the traditional gown and tuxedo, but after the ceremony they transformed into Morticia and Gomez! Their guests attended in costume and I saw a 70's basketball player complete with knee-high socks and short shorts, a tennis player, a renaissance couple, some hawaiian tourists with zinc on their noses, and some guy in the traditional "bear/gorilla" suit. It was hilarious!

They had a dj spinning vinyl, a giant cardboard tree with spanish moss and pinatas for later in the evening. The guest's favors were tiny ghost pinatas which lined the windowsills. It seemed like every detail was turned on end - I even think the guest book was a coloring book to be signed with crayons!
Certainly, not your typical wedding. Happy Halloween!
