Masquerade Ball
A happening night draped in mystery and luxury. If Halloween party planning for couples is too much for you and bae, then a masquerade ball can save your day. Let the ballroom music turn higher while jazz tunes float through the room.
A masquerade ball is the perfect opportunity to make your Gossip Girl fantasy dreams come true. We can only think of Blair’s dress, Serena’s jeweled mask, champagne towers and glittering chocolate domes at the moment.
Enchanting/Moonlit Vows
Bring unspoken vows to the limelight with emotions woven into every moment. Pay an ode to timeless love, art, and elegance and celebrate the night as one last evening before ‘forever’ begins. Décor that adds value – romantic lighting wrapped in secrecy and starlight. And Ofcourse, European-inspired spread across the balcony. Yes, we’re talking about truffle bites, smoked cheeses, and champagne cocktails.

Halloween Costume Trends – Gowns & Beyond
Now that you are well-versed with the unique Halloween couple themes, it’s time to look into couple Halloween costume ideas.
Take a sneak-peak here:
- Dark Romantic Palettes: While couples are nailing the pastel palette, this is your chance to shine in the dark palette. For Halloween, costume themes have taken a different route – enter dark romantic palettes. Take into consideration: burnt orange, midnight blue, burgundy and emerald green. For brighter hues, you can consider Barbie and Ken – but make it haunted.
- Dramatic Silhouettes: Velvet blazers, lace corsets and high-collared shirts are the talk of the town. Embrace the dungeon charm and haunted couple look with a Halloween outfit narrative that allows the couple to play the main characters of their own dark fairytale. Think black slip dresses and black suit with open shirts. We’re betting on ghost bride and groom – black veil, pale face paint and eerie makeup.
- Bold, Theme-inspired Embroidery: Beyond the basic silhouettes and embroidery, strategic embossing is what’s making headlines these days. Textures matter as much as colour when it comes to following a bold, charismatic theme. Some other Halloween couple outfit cues consist of black lace veils, dramatic headpieces, masquerade masks, dark bouquets, gothic jewellery. For a witchy and gentleman vibe, go for corset dress and pointy hats.
