Happily Ever After: Jessica & Michael's Halloween Wedding in Dallas, Texas

February 08, 2014 by Ara R. in Weddings

Jessica and Michael chose the beautiful historic Aldredge House in Dallas, Texas for their ceremony and reception.  The house has many gorgeous rooms, and green, romantic grounds.  It was perfect for the elegant nod-to-Halloween theme Jessica chose for her decorations.  From Mazel tov! after the glass-breaking to the Hora dance during the reception, the Jewish elements were fantastic.

The tables and accents looked amazing, and Jessica and her friends created the incredibly-detailed centerpieces themselves.  The bridesmaids' hairpieces were all unique and fantastic.  Tying in some Halloween fun, they hired circus performers to entertain during the reception, and had a full candy buffet with candy apples as favors.  It was such an elegant and fun atmosphere.

Congratulations, Jess & Michael!
