A wedding style board for the refined rocker from Well-Groomed
Maybe you don’t want to totally buck tradition, or perhaps you might get a lot of flack for showing up for the wedding in your favorite leather jacket. You can still channel a refined rocker vibe with a few unexpected accessories.
A gothic chapel Edward Gorey wedding
We love our offbeat lite brides, and this wedding totally captures that traditional-meets-personalized vibe, including a gorgeous chapel and a little bit of gothic, Edward Gorey-style decor. The custom illustrations drawn by the groom are rocking my world! And if you’re planning a birdseed recessional, take heed. I think the bride’s still picking out seeds from her hair.

Let’s talk about the fashion going on here: black lace, Doc Martens, brocade tail coat, leather harness, and spiked Jeffrey Campbells — it’s a gothic wonderland of noir chic.
