A Little or a Lot

Gothic wedding dresses can be extremely bold style statements – imagine walking down the aisle in a racy black gothic gown! Or, you can add a few subtle gothic elements to a more traditional wedding dress, such as black and red embroidery on a classic white wedding gown. Be true to your own personal sense of style!

My own daughter Alisha will definately choose this style for sure. It suits her personality perfectly. I think her wedding (if she ever does get married) will consist of an Alice in wonderland theme meets goth. I think that would be her dream wedding...with a wedding cake of a Tim Burton creation of sorts. Now it's not at all what I would choose, but I know she would be perfectly happy with this. And IF she ever gets married you most certainly will see the pitures!

Gothic Gowns

You can find gothic wedding dresses at specialty shops or on websites that specialize in these fabulous creations. Be a gothic bride from head to toe – just be sure your order is placed nice and early to allow for shipping and altering! Always no matter what style of gown you are choosing order with plenty of time to spare if you can. This especially holds true if you are ordering a custom made dress. It would be a catastrphe if your dress arrived a week after your wedding. So order early, I can't stress this enough.

Gothic Styling

Look for dark colored gowns, in shades of rich plum, burgundy, or black. These darker shades work perfectly for gothic wedding dresses. A full hooped underskirt with taffeta will make your look ultra authentic – wear a tight fitted bodice with lots of sequin embellishments along the bodice.

If you want to wear a traditional white gown, be daring in a stunning gown featuring a large train with a thick red embroidery all along the train and up the back. Feather embellishments, appliqués, and elaborate detailing will all add to your look.

Consider wearing a striking mantilla or veil to complete your bridal style. Lace detailing is also a fabulous gothic addition – look for lacy overlays, sheaths, or sleeves in your favourite hue. These are some fantastic ideas for funky wedding dresses!
