Wedding Infatuated

If you have a flare for the dramatic and enjoy the dark and dreary, a gothic themed wedding may be for you. Here are a few tips to pull it off.

The Venue

The first concern with a gothic wedding is the location.  Holding a gothic wedding in a dark and dramatic old church really helps set the mood. The more interior walls covered by stone or brick the better. You can then light the area with as many pillar candles as you can find. The way the flames dance on the stones creates a very romantic feel.

Colors 

The next thing to think about is the colors you want to use. Black and white seems fairly appropriate but for real drama I think adding one bold accent color really pulls the whole thing together. Don’t feel limited in your color choice. Red, purple, turquoise, yellow, they all add there own unique flavor.

The Dress

More and more designers are now adding gothic dresses to their lines. Traditional white dresses are beautiful, even in a gothic wedding, but that is certainly not your only choice. Some brides are opting for colorful red dresses, others are going all black, my favorite, however, is a mix of color. Dresses that are both black and white are absolutely awe-inspiring.

After you have these decisions in line the rest should come naturally and you should be all set for a beautiful wedding.
