Not all rainbows and glitter: 16 reasons dark wedding themes are glam as hell
We love to feature rainbow weddings, whimsical weddings, sparkly beach weddings, but some offbeat weddings are dark, mysterious, and decidedly non-whimsical. That’s when goth meets Halloween meets black dresses and jewel tones and Medieval-inspired venues.
Sometimes weddings are elegant and moody and so perfectly gorgeous. Let’s take a peek at all kinds of goth and dark wedding themes and details…
Two daredevils had an indoor skydiving elopement (dressed as pirates!)
Kazi and Joe won an elopement package at an indoor skydiving facility and decided to get wed on Halloween dressed as pirates. They married inside the tunnel with a few iFLY staff members as their witnesses (dressed as a shark and a Ninja Turtle). They were married by their iFLY instructor, who happened to be ordained. Ready to see this pirates-meet-skydiving wedding?
Check the cotton candy bouquet at this wonderfully weird Austin wedding
Can you even handle LED outfits, costumed guests, Voodoo Doughnuts, a multicolored reception dress, jackalope riding, a 50 beer flight reception, and a Pac-Man suit? If you dare, take a look at this awesomely weird Austin wedding.
Oh, and they had the most wild “lessons learned” EVER. It involved cotton candy, Golden Corral, murals, smoke bombs, and the word “cock.” Yep, seriously. And it’s actually super helpful. You HAVE to see this… and read to the end.
Squeal at the ARMORED corset dress at this fantasy RPG-themed wedding
The armored corset dress (that I’m on a quest to buy), the silver filigree crown, the groom’s cloak and bandolier, the Moroccan glass star-shaped lanterns for the bridesmaids… I just CAN’T with this wedding. It’s the medieval garb wedding of my fantasy-driven heart. And that’s saying a lot. You just have to see this gorgeous pair and their amazingly dressed guests at this fantasy RPG-themed wedding.
Gotham city wedding party? This line of formal superhero fashion is killing it with geek chic
We already know Hot Topic is a bastion of geek and fandom wear, and now they’re branching hardcore into formal wear. Maybe you’re going full-on Batman-themed wedding party or just a subtle Batman reference in the groom’s vest? Either way, a little Dark Knight in your wedding can never go amiss.
Channel the Upside Down with this Stranger Things garland
If your wedding has an element of the creepy about it (Halloween wedding? Horror wedding? TV-inspired wedding?), perhaps this Stranger Things garland is the ceremony or reception backdrop you need. You can even snag a custom set of letters to spell out your name, wedding hashtag, or a message from the Upside Down.
