Encouraging Article for Gothic Brides!

This article was encouraging for the bride who is courageous enough to go gothic on her wedding day.

I love the white medieval gown in the photo! It is very close to my dream gown. I would give it wider, more dramatic bell sleeves.


If the bride wears white to her gothic wedding, the bridesmaids can wear gothic style velvet gowns in rich jewel colors to add to the effect.


Of course for a truly gothic wedding, it must take place at night, in an old stone church, and have a candle lit reception. If the church has a cemetery on the property, all the better. Black silk roses are a nice flower for the bride to carry and work well with a red or a white gown. If you are wearing black, try red ones.


I followed one of the links to House of Brides and clicked on their "red hot dresses" link. They do have red wedding gowns, but none of them really looked very gothic to me.
