We love gothic weddings so hard. Black wedding dress? Check. Halloween weddings? Check. Haunted venue? Check. Horror weddings? YES. Corpse Bride? Check. Tim Burton? Of course. Skulls? Always.

Haunted romance: a moody Halloween evening of medical and mortuary science

Haunted romance: a moody Halloween evening of medical and mortuary science

Halloween fell on a Thursday and we fell in love with two separate venues so we decided to have it be a two-day event: the International Museum of Surgical Science was the perfect setting for our ceremony while we had our reception at Jacob Henry Mansion. The mansion matched our tastes exactly and was the perfect backdrop for an Autumn evening celebration. I lovingly refer to our wedding as a "haunted romance."

Inger is a dark Disney girl and wanted her dress to be the only white thing at her wedding. She got her wish and everything was styled in black and white. Spy the tall, gorgeous black cake with “Till death do us part” on it, rich red roses, and chic black bouquet. They also performed the Haka (a traditional Maori dance) for Inger to welcome her in to Ash’s family.

When we got engaged, we knew we didn't want a typical wedding. Instead, we wanted to incorporate some of the wonderful things we enjoy together into an expression of our love. We picked black and burgundy as our colors to match our dark aesthetic. For my bridal look, I wanted to go high drama. I ditched the white dress and found an asymmetrical wine-colored dress and, with my bridesmaid Haley, built a one-of-a-kind elk antler headdress so I could look like a pagan forest goddess.

It’s September which means that it’s totally Halloween season! You might think it’s too early, but this Ireland goth wedding inspiration says otherwise. We’re totally prepared to bask in the skull decor, deep red drinks, gold on black stationery, anatomical hearts, and an eerily gorgeous cake. Don’t miss these two gorgeous people sporting blue hair, stunning makeup, a black corset, and a silver brocade coat.

An intimate cocktail bar and a nearby forest served as the backdrops for this shoot and it’s getting us in that spooky mood we love…
