Your wedding day is supposed to be one of the best days of your life, but what if you don’t want the whole fairytale white wedding that society likes to keep portraying? Well that’s fine and if you’re after something a little darker like a Gothic inspired wedding then I have some great dresses for you.
Having flirted with the Goth scene in the 1980s we used to paraphrase Henry Ford by saying you could wear any color as long as it was black. As Goth evolved, however and there became more and more subcultures there was also an evolution in Goth fashion and the types of colors and styles used. Choosing a Gothic wedding dress is all about choosing a style of dress that suits you and feels good on you, after all Goth is a way of life not just a fashion statement.
If you’re not a Goth you can still wear a Gothic wedding dress as they really do offer a range of unique dresses from Medieval styles to Victorian styles, burlesque styles to Lolita punk styles. Let’s explore some of the different styles here

Beautiful dresses. When I was searching for my wedding dress, I really wanted one in the style of the red and black Renaissance one. I was just writing a piece about Gothic wedding dresses when my ideal one popped up in white with the black detail--hood included. Looking through some of these though, there's a bit of me that wishes I went for something more like them, especially that red and black one!
In our country white is still number one choice but on the other hand we have lowest percentage of married couples in European Union...
Maybe more colorful wedding dresses could help to change our attitude?
Thumbs up to variety. Gothic? Why not!
@Ruby - any time of the year would be fine for a Gothic wedding as there are gowns that suit all seasons.
These are so gorgeous! I love my white wedding dress, it fit me perfectly and was a perfect style for me, but I love these colors much better, and the gloves and sleeves, woot, woot, totally rockin idea. I had to pin it on my 7 Wedding Junction board for sure. What time of year, I wonder is the best for a gothic wedding?
i defin. am looking for a lil bit of each one of these dresses for my wedding i almost cried they r beautiful
Some of these dresses are absolutely gorgeous! I love the green and black one especially.
I got married in a white, plain dress. Looking back I don't know why. I hate white, and I really wish I'd got married in something more my style - black and red I think!
Smashing, I love them all, the main highlighted dress as the article image is my fave. But oh how I love all of these amazing gothic wedding dresses. I'm divorced and if and I mean IF i ever get married again this would be the dress for me. How beautiful.
These are really unique. I like them. Great page with a lot of variety. I still flirt with some of the Goth style....and I won't tell you how old I am! LOL..
I actually love most of those dresses. I don't think I'd get married in one though.
