Lolita Princess Amanda and please don't mention costumes because it's on halloween, this is a very important day to me and I want it taken very seriously
When I first introduced lolita to my mother, her initial impression was that I intended to wear costumes every day of my life, and who could blame her, really? For those unknown to the style, seeing lolita on the street in the US is something far from our comfort zone of low-cut blouses, baggy pants, and anything else that covers our thighs without a bell shape. Sometimes, I just need to step back as a lolita and really look at what I'm getting into -- it is not something that everyone can accept and move on, but something that I choose to pursue.
What I'm saying is that by having your wedding, an extremely wonderful day of your life, be lolita themed and celebrating it on Halloween might give you geusts (or anybody, in truth) the wrong impression of your true intentions.

I was thinking of telling everyone it's victorian but I'm affraid that still isn't going to help at all. I might just sit all the guests down and explain it to them in person. But I honestly don't know anyone who thinks Lolita looks like a costume here O.o... thats kind of odd to hear honestly.

Congratulations! : D
If I were you, I wouldn't bother going around to everyone to explain lolita to them. Some may not fully understand, they might even feel uncomfortable. Just tell them it's victorian themed and they'll get the picture ^^;
I'd really like to see your dress. Sounds adorable.

congratulations! wow, you have about a little over a month before your wedding! busy girl!
My fiance and I are getting married next July 4th. We're very excited. It will not be Lolita-themed, however, my going away suit will be lolita outifts! xd I am so looking forward to it.

How Sweet! heart
I kind of agree with Crystal Orchid about the date of the wedding, having it on Halloween might give people the wrong impression. Unless your Celtic Pagan or something and Halloween is a special day to you. Then go ahead.
You could tell your guests its modernized Victorian or Rococo themed? Neo Victorian might work ok, but some guests might come thinking its something like steam punk instead.
Also you should have something cute play for your song to dance to, like Pachebel's Canon. I want to dance to that at my wedding, and it seems to fit the Lolita theme.
