It's officially the Fall wedding season!  Everyone loves a good Halloween party, so it's the perfect time to "marry" this holiday with your wedding.  A Halloween wedding theme can range from subtle hints of Fall to full-blown costume party.  I came up with 48 ideas you can pick and choose from to kick your Halloween wedding up a notch:

6. Apple martinis
7. A slideshow of Halloween pictures of the bride and groom through the years
8. Day of the Dead decorations
