goth

We love gothic weddings so hard. Black wedding dress? Check. Halloween weddings? Check. Haunted venue? Check. Horror weddings? YES. Corpse Bride? Check. Tim Burton? Of course. Skulls? Always.

So many buckles: Rob’s amazing red gothic fairytale groom gear

We’ll hopefully be profiling the full wedding soon, but I have to stop first to give some snaps to Rob here and his impeccable gothic-tinged suit, complete with one of the most beautiful red jackets I’ve seen in a long time. Oh, and the buckled red vest? Amazing. The detailing, you guys… THE DETAILING. And the accessories! And his bride, Liz. Just wait…

A vintage-inspired goth wedding featuring a whole lot of hats and a unicorn bride and groom

Serge and Ely wed in Pennsylvania at the Abington Art Center, which proved to be a most excellent backdrop for their vintage and goth-friendly wedding day. The bridesmaids were decked out in mismatched purple gowns, the groomsmen (and officiant!) donned top hats, and an adorable owl and beaver topped their cake.

Jess & Alex’s red and black goth geek wedding

A little goth, a little geek, and a teeny wedding for us to love. Don’t miss the awesome certificate of marriage, the very meaningful handfasting cords, the Gallery Serpentine custom corset dress, and the Minuscule-themed cupcakes. Plus, the bride shares some very handy advice if you’re planning on rocking a corset. Oh, and you’ll love the bride’s hilarious way of “proposing.” It worked!

Nicole & Josef’s intimate gothic backyard wedding

Gothic details, a shimmery black dress, lots of skulls, and a sweet little backyard tent for all the loved ones. There was a lot of DIY, and with it, some sage words of advice about self-catering. But our favorite part has to be the story of the father/daughter dance surprise. Get your hanky!

Cristin & Frank’s Nightmare Before Christmas wedding

An intricate headpiece, a lush brooch bouquet, a Renaissance-style purple and black dress, and some Nightmare Before Christmas details — it’s a wedding any Tim Burton fan would love. With lots of DIY and a casual vibe, everyone seemed right at home. Plus, don’t miss the canine ring bearer in a shmancy top hat!

Emily & Aaron’s monochromatic DIYed wedding

The bride lives in black, so her dress totally had to incorporate the color. Add in her blue hair (her “something blue”), gorgeous black and white veil, their classic ride, and a tear-y groom, and you’ve got this gorgeous Aussie wedding with DIY details. Just wait until you see the groom at the beginning of the ceremony. Oh, and wait until you see how a five-year engagement helped them overcome a challenge.
