Cat and Mike celebrated their Halloween inspired wedding at the stunning Larmer Tree, blending a stunning vintage style with seasonal autumnal touches. This wedding really did have it all, so keep reading to see their cute bespoke touches and gorgeous venue.
Before the Ceremony
The day kicked off with Cat getting ready, surrounded by her bridesmaids and bridal party. She wore an amazing dress with a vintage vibe, featuring draped off-the-shoulder sleeves and a contoured skirt. Paired with her glittering Kurt Geiger shoes, she looked incredible and totally nailed the vintage bridal look. To complete her ensemble, Cat’s bouquet was an absolutely stunning array of autumnal-coloured blooms which added to the Halloween vibes of the day.
Larmer Tree Wedding Ceremony
Cat and Mike chose to say their vows in the beautiful Victorian Jubilee Hall at Larmer Tree. The space was beautifully decorated with subtle, elegant Halloween-themed table decorations and autumnal floral displays. They walked down the aisle under a canopy of fairy lights and exchanged their vows with all of their close family and friends in attendance.
The Reception
After the ceremony their guests were treated to canapes and bubbly in the gardens and got stuck into playing lawn games like giant Jenga.
The look on the guests’ faces when they saw the beautifully decorated reception room was priceless. Every detail on the tables fitted with their Halloween theme, from wedding favours, decor, floral arrangements and overall colour scheme. The Halloween-inspired wedding cake was definitely a showstopper – it featured a unique brownie tower, decorated with mini black and gold pumpkins, roses, and even a few spooky twigs and cobwebs to keep with the Halloween theme.
Evening Celebrations
The highlight of the wedding breakfast had to be the best man’s speech. It was such a hit with the guests and there wasn’t a dry eye or bored face in the room! With the hilarious stories and heartfelt moments that were shared, all the guests were laughing at their tables. This made for a relaxed and fun atmosphere which Cat and Mike wanted.
As the night went on, the Halloween vibes got even stronger, with tables of Halloween themed sweets and donuts and even bespoke napkins. The guests had so much fun making s’mores on the open fires in the gardens which added a cosy touch to the evening. After an array of sweet treats to choose from, the dance floor opened up with a live band bringing the energy and tunes to the party.
Instead of a typical evening buffet, the couple served wood-fired pizzas from a festival-style tent – needless to say this was hugely popular! People loved grabbing a fresh slice before heading to the fun, Halloween-themed photo booth. The mix of the delicious food and the lively atmosphere made it feel like a big, festive party! Everyone was mingling, laughing, and enjoying themselves, which really brought the whole day together perfectly.
