A delightfully macabre Victorian gothic wedding
Molly and James’ wedding at The Gatehouse of Lionsgate Events Center in Lafayette, Colorado is a gothic Victorian feast for the eyes. We’re talking belly dancers, tarot card readers, hula hoopers, and a royal blue gown designed by a Cirque du Soleil costume designer. The macabre theme continued with death tag wedding place cards, black-painted trees, a creep-tastic candy buffet, and a blue and white spider web cake.
Sandi Jo & John’s Neo-Victorian circus sideshow wedding

We’re talking corsets, hula hoops, clowns, and sideshow acts — all following a sweet handfasting.
