A creepy and elegant gothic wedding #Wedding Porn#california#candy buffet#goth#halloween#purple hair#tattooed bride#tattooed groom Updated Oct 12 2015 (Posted Jun 21 2012) Catherine Clark bijouxandbits Photos by: Michelle Johnson If you're into black calla lilies, Swarovski crystals, and a wedding oozing with glamour and goth style, this just might be your perfect wedding. Samantha and Steven both look flawless with their extensive ink, perfectly coiffed 'dos (including purple curls and mantilla veil!), and formal fashion. They had a Halloween-themed reception which meshed with their gothic looks perfectly… think dark candelabras, a spooky candy buffet, purple lighting, and fog. Their sweetheart table had his-and-hers leather thrones, blood red goblets, and a even a crow! Thanks to photographer Michelle Johnson for sharing this snazzy-pants wedding with us. Samantha's aunt handmade all of the bouquets. Related Post Mandy & Nathan's candy woodland wedding You want fun? You've got fun with this bubbly, candy-filled wedding in Australia.

Reply THANK YOU!.. it is Pravana Violet 🙂 I have now dyed my hair black…so sad! Reply Can you PLEASE tell me what color your hair was BEFORE you dyed it with Pravan. That color is the EXACT color purple I have been striving for and I am always worried it will come out too pastel if I bleach it first, but with dark heir the paurple barely shows up. I have not used Pravana yet, but before I do, just wondering if you started off with totally white hair, or what? Thank you very much for your help! I am doing a black and purple wedding myself, my dress is going to be black, and I would love for my hair to be this color, thanks again 🙂 Reply Would love to know who designed her dress and shoes.
