There is something romantic about weddings, to say the least. Adult bride costumes are pretty popular among women, even if they aren’t exactly scary stuff for Halloween. Of course, the concept of the wedding dress can be taken and made into scary bride costumes or sexy bride costumes.

On the scary side, the Coffin Bride Adult Costume is a choice par excellence. The dress is a white ruffled number with lace coat overlay in black. The skirt is where the ruffles show their stuff, while the coat closes over the torso in a lace-up corset fashion. The sleeves and veil are given a tattered and torn look, like what a bride who climbed out from under the earth would look like. She came back for you, because she loves you. Or perhaps she just wants to eat your brain.

The Corpse Bride Petite Adult Costume is another solid choice for a Halloween-y bride costume, which is ironic since it is based on the concept of a ghost bride. Whether you are playing the role of the ghost who found love after death or the jilted bride-to-be left standing at the altar, this costume is perfect. The dress is a simple affair, cut in a very old-fashioned style. The dress and wrist lace inserts add that special “wedding” flavor. Sheer grey lace overlays from top to bottom obscure the look, giving it a ghostly feel. Could she be that love you lost so long ago, or the girl you only found after death?
