Planning a wedding for the bride is like Celebrities preparing for the Oscars. It's your turn to be the STAR. Every Cinderella Bride needs a fairy godmother bridal guide to weave her magic and ensure a perfect wedding day.
First off, for any of you unfamiliar, you might be asking, what is Goth exactly? Gothic is alternative and for the non-conformist. Styles of dress include punk, Medieval, Renaissance, Victorian, Lolita or combos of these styles with accents of black or white makeup and hair. The colors of traditional Goth are black, deep muted red and purple. Fabrics tend to be rich and heavy: velvet and satin brocades combined with black and dark laces and even leather. Corsetry is popular and unapologetic in Goth dressing, usually paired up with voluminous skirts with heavy understructure. And speaking of understructure,the silhouette will probably be the same as a traditional bride--big gown with tons of petticoats--but the message conveyed is something different all together

But for those Gothic out there who just have same thought like mine, I think you should try something different i.e choose a Gothic wedding dress. More brides are going over to the dark side lately, some even booking the 31st as their wedding day.

Researching Gothic fashion sites, I found tons so narrowing down your shopping will mean finding what direction you want to go in the Goth world.
