Fly Away On Fairy Wings In Your Fairy Halloween Costume
Friday, March 12th, 2010I’m sure you have seen your share of angel Halloween costumes over the years. What you don’t see is the look of heaven brought to a Halloween costume done in a very unique way. Most angel wings these days are regurgitated versions of costumes we’ve seen one too many Halloweens. Why not take your golden halo to another level this year with an updated version of the angel costume?
Prior to designing, or heading out to purchase, your angel Halloween costumes this year, it might be a good idea to get some ideas going in your head. Will you follow the traditional white color scheme, or will you color outside the lines and try adding some bold color? Will you be a ‘good’ angel or a ‘bad’ angel? These are all things to be considered up front.
Many cultures across the world have different ideas on what the angel actually looks like. By doing some upfront research into the history of angels, you can come up with angel Halloween costumes that are more authentic looking. But keep in mind that your angel costume doesn’t have to follow any historical format at all; on the contrary, this is Halloween, you can go all out with your creativity!
When thinking about the specifics of your angel costume keep in mind the three basic components: feather wings, halo (usually a golden halo), and a robe (usually white). These three components are a guide and are in no ways meant to restrict you in designing your adult Halloween costumes this year. Your angel can have a little more grit; it can even be downright devious. And who says the robe needs to be white; you could add some drama through color if you want.
The point is simple: angel Halloween costumes don’t have to be executed in the same old ways of the past. The golden halo doesn’t have to be golden, you can try a different color; heck, you could even replace the halo with a wreath of flowers if you wanted. Get creative, look around your local craft store for inexpensive alternatives. As for the wings, feather wings are the standard choice; but you can make your own wings (and they don’t have to be white).
Adding your own special embellishments can also help you personalize your angel Halloween costumes. If you are a bible toting angel, maybe your robe has scriptures written all over. If you are a ‘bad’ angel, maybe you carry a pitch fork to go with your bloody red halo. You can adjust your angel costume to put people in the mind of heaven, or hel,l if you’d like.
Think about having a little extra fun this Halloween by choosing angel Halloween costumes of an opposing nature for you and a friend. One person can put the golden halo on atop a curly blond wig donning a glowing white robe; the other partner can play the opposite and wear a costume that is more Lucifer inspired. To really go all out, consider adding a touch of role play by pretending to be arch enemies at any parties attended together, you’ll garner lots of attention and make for a more fun evening.
The point I want to make is that your angel Halloween costumes don’t have to be the same old drab seen in previous years. Go ahead, change the look, and update it by adding more bells and whistles. One creative thought would be to pay someone to play the role of ‘demon’ at your Halloween party. Do what you can to make this year’s angel Halloween costumes have a more updated edge. Have fun and be different with your angel costume this year. Edited by Hetsil Protage
