A Monster Bride Halloween Costume Is A Spooky Classic

By Aiden R. Ringoldsen

Not sure what to wear this year for Halloween? Why not choose to go as a monster bride? The most common monster bride Halloween costume is probably the Bride of Frankenstein, from the classic movie of the same name. However, vampire brides, zombie brides, and other monsters are also popular. There are lots of costumes to pick from, making it easy to find the right one for you.

Step one is finding your favorite bride. Take a little while to go online and check out all the costumes available. Using the Internet instead of shopping in your local area lets you quickly and easily look through the selection, plus you'll see more monster brides than you will at any store in your area.

Kids and adults alike can wear monster bride Halloween costumes. However, you should be aware that children have slightly more limited options. The good news is that the ones that are on the market are very cute and good for trick or treating. For adults, there are brides of darkness, ghost brides, zombie brides, the Bride of Frankenstein, Dracula's Bride and many other costume options.

There are a few traditional white wedding gowns, but they'll usually be blood-stained and tattered. More often, monster bride costumes are made in red, black, purple or gray, and include torn satin, lace and other luxury fabrics. A veil is often included, but like many other Halloween costumes, you can't assume all accessories in the photo are included in the package. Read carefully.

Be sure to pick up veils, stitched sleeves, shoes, stockings, handbags and other accessories to complete your look. Makeup may or may not be included, too. In cases where it is, you'll usually be able to follow the instructions on the package to create your monster bride look.

No matter which monster bride ends up being your favorite, it's important to be sure you buy a costume that's well made enough to stay together and fit you well. Tatters and shredded fabric might be part of the look, but no one wants their costume to literally fall apart. If you want an inexpensive costume, shop around to find the right price on a good one, rather than getting the cheapest one you can find.

If you're worried about your budget, you may wish to take extra charges, like shipping and handling, into account when figuring out your costs. It's also a good idea to order early, so your costume will have time to arrive. Some costumes will be very popular as well, and retailers may run out.

Monster bride Halloween costumes are a classic choice for kids and adults alike, and unlike most movie-based choices, they'll never go out of style. Choose your favorite monster bride and be the hit of the party this year! There are so many options to choose from, you're sure to find the perfect costume.
