About this costume
She's been waiting at the altar a long, long time, and this Halloween costume idea makes the wait worth it. An aged ivory gown and wilted veil turn the classic ghost costume into something genuinely haunting - a top pick for adults searching for an elegant, spooky Halloween costume with real atmosphere.
DIY this look
The Ghost Bride costume reuses an old formal dress instead of buying a new one, which keeps this Halloween costume idea cheap and easy.
- Find any ivory, white, or pale dress and rough up the hem a little - tearing and dust both help.
- Set the tarnished tiara first, then drape the veil over it.
- Apply the ashen makeup palette focusing on under-eyes and lips for a faded look.
- Carry the wilted bouquet loosely, like you've been holding it a hundred years.
