Goth Inspired Wedding
Posted on March 17th, 2009 by Elle. Filed under Wedding Inspiration.
GOTH…that one word conjures up imagines of Marilyn Manson…or perhaps teenagers full of angst with black lipstick…BUT can one use Goth as the inspiration for a wedding without reenacting a scene from Tim Burton’s The Corpse Bride? Of course! Let the word GOTH instead conjure up images of black, dark crimson, dark purples, and rich decorative accents. Let’s start with the wedding attire shall we?
These gowns are rich in their detail and are definitely unique. I especially love the gothic fairy look – although the colors are dark, the entire ensemble just screams ethereal! The groom’s suit is also perfect and if you want to add some extra pizzazz, have the groom wear a top hat. Your shoes (as well as the bridesmaids) should be special but also very classy. Goth shoes tend to be a little chunky and would not work in this situation. As a Goth bride, your bouquet should be full and definitely dark, whether red, purple or even black.
Your bridesmaids can wear either a two piece ensemble consisting of a red corset, such as the one shown here together with a long satin skirt that is fitted to the body or a halter top black dress circa 1950’s. Vintage can be Goth! Why not have your girls wear birdcage veils with a dark flower instead of you? That will shake things up! You will want to keep your flower girls looking sweet, but still fit into the theme of rich colors. How amazing would your little princess be in a massive tulle color explosion?
For makeup, I suggest a great smoky eye, but NOT overdone! Keep the look sexy and fresh so that you don’t end up looking like a painted up doll. My suggestion for hair is just one word…or rather three…Dita Von Teese! She has perfected the flawless look of sleek, wavy hair that would work well with a Goth themed wedding.
When you are decorating your ceremony and reception spaces, keep in mind that the overall look should not necessarily be dark (as in mood)…this is a wedding after all. Again, rich colors, dark lace and pieces with substance will make any venue look like Dracula’s castle glamorously revamped. Manzanita trees are very popular – spray paint the tree(s) in black or dark red instead and hang crystals on it. The look will be luxe Goth. Rent black chirvalri chairs, use dark vases, goblets, plates and napkins and use lots of mirrors, both on the tables and wall (if permitted to hang). If you are having a sweetheart table, rent or borrow overstuffed chairs in dark leather or even better, crimson suede. The overall look will be tasteful.
Enjoy a Goth inspired wedding and show your dark side…

what a lovely scenery, these photos are beautiful, so is the couple

It would be awesome if you would add photo links to each of the pictures so readers could connect with the original image source! I.e., where you found the picture of the flower girl? I absolutely ADORE her tulle dress! Thanks

I agree – I’m really interested in seeing more photos from the gothic fairy wedding.
You’re right – gothic weddings don’t mean a freakshow, but a dramatic, darkly beautiful affair. I love the dramatic effect of red and black wedding gowns – I had a red gown myself (at a gothic wedding
) and I would never have felt as special wearing white or cream.
Thanks for your wonderful post on Gothic weddings. If you’re ever looking for more info on gothic wedding planning or pictures, check out my blog

Just read your post. I kind of support your views though there are two to three points which I don’t think I would agree with what you have said. The best part of it is the way you have written the stuffs. The language was easy to follow and your style was appealing. English is my second language and you have done a good job avoiding jargons and difficult phrases. Keep on writing more posts. PS: I have already subscribed to your blog’s RSS feed.

Solid issue. I consider of the proper language to distinguish it, “Fine topic” looks so commonplace. You are so correct in all that you articulate.
