No matter which event you need a costume for, we have it.
Every year, there is a huge number of different occasions and events where you'll get to throw on a costume.
Costume parties and events are a lot of fun, so it's no wonder that there are so many each year. With so many different occasions and events, you're going to need all kinds of different costumes.
At Blossom Costumes, we have costumes for every occasion. Check out our most popular costuming occasions below or browse our
full range of costumes here.
1. Halloween
Halloween is the biggest costume event of the year, every year. Whether you're hosting or attending a Halloween party, or going out on the town, there's no reason not to dress up.
Traditionally,
Halloween costumes are scary, but you can dress up as whatever you want. In America, the trend of Halloween costumes is moving more and more towards dressing up as pop culture characters.
So you can dress up as whatever you want. Whether that's a terrifying
dark arts occultist,
Rey from Star Wars Episode VII, or anything in between. It's entirely up to you, so let your imagination run wild.
2. Oktoberfest
What's better than enjoying some delicious German beer at Oktoberfest celebrations? Doing that while wearing lederhosen.
Every year,
Oktoberfest in the Gardens runs celebrations in major cities all over Australia, so you don't need to buy a ticket to Munich to participate. Dressing up in an Oktoberfest costume is a great way of getting into the spirit of the iconic German Volkfest.
Whether you're looking for
traditional style lederhosen with a checkered shirt or a
women's Bavarian dress, we have everything you need to make you feel like you're in Germany.
3. Midnight movie releases and viewing parties
Going to the midnight screenings in costume is the best way for devoted fans to experience the newest movie of a franchise they love. There are always plenty of people who dress up, and the atmosphere is amazing.
Alternatively, you can get together with friends for a viewing party of a classic or some boutique cinemas like
Cinema Nova and the
Astor Theatre have special events which people dress up for.
So whether you're a fan of
Star Wars,
Marvel,
DC or
Harry Potter, the biggest movie franchises in the world are releasing new movies every year, and sometimes more than one. And we are constantly updating our catalogue with new release movie costumes to keep up.
4. Pop culture and comic conventions

Pop culture conventions are a great excuse to dress up and cosplay as your favourite characters from
movies,
video games,
anime, and
comic books.
Going to conventions is one of the only ways to meet celebrities and industry personalities from movies, TV, video games and more as well as seeing exclusive content and hanging out with a group of really cool, like minded people.
There are plenty of conventions to choose from as well. From large Australian conventions, such as
Supernova, to some of the American conventions which have made their way over, including RTX Sydney and
PAX Australia.
5. Book Week
Book Week gives your kids the opportunity to let their imaginations run wild and dress up as
their favourite storybook characters.
Schools and libraries always have celebrations and events for Book Week that are a lot of fun for kids, no matter who they want to dress up as.
We have a huge range of costumes for beloved kids' characters, from
Where's Wally to
Tinker Bell.
6. Christmas
Dressing up in a costume might not be your first thought when you think about Christmas, but there are lots of reasons why you might need a Christmas costume.
If you have kids, then dressing up as Santa for them is a fun way to make Christmas morning even more special. You could dress as Santa to deliver presents at your office Christmas party or even get costumes for a nativity play.
We have a
range of Santa costumes, including some that are a bit
wacky. No matter what you're planning this Christmas, we have plenty of
Christmas costume ideas.
7. Bucks and hens nights
Bucks and hens nights are a right of passage for lucky men and women who are about to get married. So it's the perfect time for their friends to embarrass them with
funny costumes and a night out!
Whether you're the lucky soon-to-be newlywed or you're organising the party as a maid of honour or best man, funny bucks and hens costumes are exactly what you need to make the night complete.
If the groom still doesn't know how to do his own laundry, then the
"mummy, I don't want to grow up" costume is perfect for him. We also have a very "classy"
bride to be necklace and other accessories.
8. Themed parties
Everyone loves a good themed party. Whether it's a birthday, university society event, end of year sports team celebration, or an office party, getting everyone to dress up in a themed costume is a lot of fun.
