Gothic Wedding Dresses
-- Gothic Wedding Dresses --
There is no rule that says you must wear a traditional white wedding dress! It’s your wedding – so go ahead and choose a dress that you really love! For some, that means adding a splash of color. For others, it means reflecting their personal style. If you tend to be attracted to gothic styles, you may wish to add a gothic twist to your gown! From a full on Medieval gown to a few gothic undertones, you can choose to incorporate an entire theme or just a hint here and there. You can have a traditional wedding reception with elements of the mystery and darkness that is a part of the gothic world. Or, you may even wish to create a complete goth-affair from exchanging midnight vows to serving a dark wedding cake.
Top Tip!Before you buy anything online, make sure to check out the wedding dresses being offered on eBay. You can often find new or lightly used dresses at a fraction of what they cost in stores:
Expect the Unexpected If you don’t love ribbons and flowers, why should you include them on one of the most special days of your life? Be innovative! Rock a red gown. Add unexpected embellishments to your dress, such as studs. Pair your wedding dress with your favorite pair of boots! Thinking outside the box is the key to creating a memorable event, no matter what your theme!
Unforgettable Fabrics The gothic world conjures images of dark, heavy fabrics. Your goth-gown could be made of velvet or satin. Add lace for a romantic accent. Think of layered taffeta skirts, tight bodices, and mesh overlays. If you are going for a medieval look, your dress will probably feature a corset.
Color Confidential Want to really make an impression? There’s no rule that says a wedding dress needs to be white! A black wedding dress could be the answer! Pair it with striking red roses for a dramatic effect. Dark colors like deep reds, emerald greens, and black are all great accent choices. Be bold with the details. Look for patterned fabrics that tie in with your day, such as damask, Celtic crosses, or even skulls. -- Gothic Wedding Dresses --
Finding Your Dress You may choose to start your dress-hunt at a bridal boutique if you are simply looking to accent your day with goth touches. From there, you may find a dress that you can alter to suit your taste. If, however, you want to stay away from the traditional white gown altogether, then it’s time to do some wedding gown soul-searching. Look online to get an idea of what you are looking for, and be creative! You might find what you are looking for in an expected store, such as a thrift store or a costume shop. If you’ve always dreamed of wearing a haute couture gown and are prepared to splurge, you may find a designer who specializes in gothic wedding dresses. Choose to make your own gown, or hire a seamstress. Let yourself fall in love with a unique dress that truly shows off your personal style. Is your style dramatic or subtle? Soft and romantic - or hard-edged and rock ‘n roll? You can choose to incorporate a gothic edge to any element of your wedding day attire. Let yourself fall in love with a unique dress that truly shows off your personal style. Be daring, be bold – be yourself! The only rule? To remember that there are no rules!
