Today we are going to speak about a somewhat unusual topic for our blog, namely wedding arrangements. This event should not be associated only with pearly white dresses, cute bridesmaids and jazz quartets. We are here to inform you how to have a really interesting and beautiful Gothic wedding that you will never forget in your life! At such an event, you will definitely be able to have a lot of fun and relax completely.

So start digging out your old Gary Numan records right now, find your incredible black lace outfit and get ready to prepare the goth wedding of all goth weddings with our incredibly informative guide.

Let’s get our Gothic celebration started!

Part 1: The Garments

The outfit is the very first step in preparing for your perfect gothic wedding. And when it comes down to it, a healthy dose, and sometimes more, of black is ideal for such an occasion.

For example, a black gothic dress with elements of purple or red colours will create an incredibly dark and sensually impressive image for the bride on the most momentous day of her life. You can also complement this look with a gothic corset or dark lace trims for a more impressive result. And if we start a topic about the bridesmaids, then we can say here that they can also follow a similar dark theme. However, it is not necessary to create it in such a glamorous and refined way.

Part 2: The Rings

Now let’s move on to the next important step in creating your perfect gothic wedding. And we are talking about the choice of rings. They are the two integral parts of any gothic wedding ceremony. And the main reason for their importance is precisely that they symbolize the “unholy union” of two intensely dark lovers and the durability of their union.

Therefore, why don’t you move away from the annoying traditional rings that have already made everyone’s eyes wet? Why not choose a pair of matching gothic rings to mark the occasion in the best and brightest way possible? Moreover, today there are many options for creative rings in any style, including Gothic. Therefore, it will not be a problem for you to find genuinely gothic rings for your gothic wedding.

Part 3: The Venue

This stage is also very important in the planning of your Gothic wedding. And this is what we are talking about creating the appropriate environment. Because without it, your Gothic wedding risks looking too light, pompous and ordinary, like everyone else usually does. So with the right gothic decor and a little creative thinking, you can turn any place in the world into a gothic haven for a new happily ever after.

So don’t be too lazy to search the Internet for various suitable images of gothic wedding arrangements. This is all so that you can get some inspiration for the places you can find for your extra big day. Or even multiple ways you can dress up your current location without looking for something else.

But so that you don’t waste a lot of time, we have given you the three most common ones:

1. The first suitable example would be the dazzling Great Hall of a 14th-century castle located in the countryside of South Wales, UK. This place is surrounded by majestic walls and moats, which will undoubtedly enchant you with its beauty. It is incredibly similar to the house of an aristocratic vampire, with stone walls, luxurious carpets and many relics that scream true Gothic style.
2. The second building that we will talk about will be precisely the one that is a monument of architecture of the II degree. This place is located in the southeastern part of London. It has a dark design, which corresponds to all the canons of the Gothic style. This building still oozes gothic grunge, and its original stained glass windows are still intact, which is sure to impress. Despite the fact that the building suffered from destruction during the war. Therefore, this place is an ideal solution where you can hold your beautiful Gothic wedding.
3. Well, the third option, where you can have your unique Gothic wedding, will be the British Wookey Hole cave in Somerset. This is the perfect solution if you want to create your wedding in a creepy, mystical, underground style. This place is a strange, beautiful, cave-like location. What’s more, it boasts a glittery canvas for adding your own gothic touch. For example, as a supplement with candles and stunning decorations.

Part 4: The Food and Drinks

Well, we know that you have been waiting for this topic throughout this guide. Yes, that’s how we’re going to talk about food and drinks. Let no one say, but this is also an important component of any Gothic wedding. After all, we all want the food to be edible and the drinks at least drinkable at our special event. And like every wedding, yours will also have picky eaters. Or people with special dietary requirements that they must follow for their health.

Therefore, the best way out of such situations will be to create a gothic atmosphere in other forms while keeping all the details of the traditional menu. For example, you could serve a carpaccio and call it “Special Cold-Blooded Soup” and come up with other creative names in that vein for other dishes on your menu.

Also, for a more impressive effect, we recommend that you serve food on thin bone china and serve your incredible drinks in glasses with skull motifs. And be sure to hire or purchase some medieval-style cutlery for your table. In this manner, you will be able to create that gothic atmosphere at your wedding that you have been wanting to make for so long.

Part 5: The Music

Music is exactly what will be able to set the rhythm for your entire gothic wedding. From the very beginning to the end, it will create the background of your extraordinary holiday. Therefore, it is extremely important to choose the right music. We are sure that if you consider yourself a representative of the goth subculture, then you will definitely understand what tunes will be played at your wedding. And it would be great if you also knew a killer goth DJ or a decent band on top of that.

So for the rest of the time, we recommend that you also create your own playlist, which you can keep and enjoy your favourite tracks for years. And thanks to which, you will be able to remember this incredible event as your Gothic wedding!

Part 6: The Wedding Favours

And finally, we will talk about something that is not so much important for planning but for creating warm memories. In particular, we are talking about wedding favours. This also has a place to be because people will remember them for many years. Moreover, they will be able to decorate your special wedding day.

Our most important advice here will relate to such a popular social network as Pinterest. You will be able to find almost everything there. From Jack Skellington inspired cookies to miniature coffin name plates that are sure to add a touch of fun to your wedding. Thus, looking at these pictures, you will be able to get the inspiration you need for the authentic creation of gothic favours.

Conclusion

We’ve come to the end of our informative guide on creating your perfect Gothic wedding. And here we would like to add something else that is very useful. However, we know that there are many other finers and more important details that need to be corrected to achieve perfection than the ones we have discussed here. But we hope that our guide did help you to get off your feet and start coming up with something.

Therefore, our final advice would be to remember that being a true goth means throwing the rule book out of the window and doing things your own way regardless of the generally accepted rules. So don’t be afraid to follow your instincts and your preferences. And remember, whatever you do, make this day unforgettable and gothically unique!
