Halloween Wedding at the Millwick in Los Angeles
March 1, 2016
The Millwick in Los Angeles is the perfect location for a Halloween wedding! Mix the urban downtown landscape with the colorful murals that line the streets and you have a rockin’ backdrop for this punk rock couple Larke + Russell (yes, another Russell!)
All Hallows Eve was in full force for these haunted nuptials. So Smitten Events brought the sweet and spooky with tasteful Halloween decorations like vintage candy machines and gold dipped pumpkins. Bridesmaids walked down the aisle with masquerade masks instead of bouquets. The couple was serenaded by a vampire band and married by a friend dressed as the Pope. The guests got into the fun too, dressing up as lobsters, Dia de los Muertos skull characters (calaveras), the Addams Family, sailors, SWAT, devils, nuns, cats, and much much more! To top it all off, the bride and groom donned unicorn and horse masks when they were announced as as man and wife.
It was a one-of-a-kind shindig! Enjoy the images from this Halloween wedding at the Millwick:
A bridesmaid straps the bride, Larke, into her gorgeous Alexa Chiffon dress from Shareen Bridal. The ladies had a blast getting ready at the Hilton Checkers in downtown Los Angeles.
Tiny spider earrings are perfect for a Halloween wedding.
The groom, a musician, posed for a few portraits before the ceremony.
The groom’s sister leans in for a hug in the Millwick dressing room just before the bride walks down the aisle.

The Millwick was decorated beautifully by So Smitten Events. I loved the “Till Death” coffin that held the wedding rings.
Here comes the bride!
The couple sang their vows to each other.
Mazel tov!
Every wedding has its unique surprises. This couple was announced as man and wife with unicorn and horse masks. Happy Halloween, indeed!
All the guests got into the Halloween action and wore costumes.
We took a stroll down the street from the Millwick to capture some awesome couple portraits.
Downtown LA is full of amazing murals! Of course, we had to use them.
The Millwick is a fabulous urban wedding venue. Skylights brighten up the room for this fall-themed wedding reception.
Eclectic bottles with marigold and crimson flowers decorated these long table garlands. Added to the centerpieces were vintage books, gold pumpkins, and adorable animal figurines.
The groom rolled up his sleeves to show off his tattoos for a tender first dance with the bride.
A kiss on the hand during the Hora chair dance … priceless!
The bride and groom tied ceremony’s horse/unicorn surprise together with this cake topper! Clever couple.
Bust a move!
Old creepy sci-fi movies were projected on a large screen above the wedding at the Millwick. It was the perfect backdrop as the guests danced into the night.
Congratulations Larke and Russell!
