Goth glamorous Las Vegas wedding in the desert

Traveling all the way from Wales, Helen and Dewi wanted a distinctively glamorous Las Vegas desert wedding. Helen was a show-stopper in a chic grey dress and a handmade crown while Dewi rocked a tailored suit with tons of texture and handmade shoes covered in webs and “Sin” and “City” on the backs.

A majestic Irish castle wedding with death metal & sword-bearing protectors

We both love castles and Irish history, and Craig wanted to have a death metal band play, so we found somewhere where that was possible, and arranged everything around that.

This Atlanta goth chic wedding had a headpiece to die for

When I first saw this wedding come in, my eyes were darting around the screen like a bat in a cave. The black and white gown, the seriously chic goth Halloween vibe, the skelly decor, the red and black flowers, the Morticia Addams-channeling bridesmaids, the black pumpkin guest “book” — it was intense. Oh, and of course, THAT HEADPIECE.
