black wedding

[NekoYasha09er]

I think you should because it is your special day and you plan it on how you want to. A lot of people have themed weddings so why not have your own theme to it. I want to have a black wedding one day.

I plan to. smile

I think black and red roses would be great for my bouque. With my dress I'll have some kind of corsett incorporated somehow, and if I have any sleeves, they -will- be lace.

Also, there will be a lot of candles.

That's as far as I've gotten..

It would be a hell of a lot better than a traditional wedding, in my opinion at least. I can see how it would work for women, but I'm not sure of how to get the look for men. I guess a victorian-themed gothic/black wedding would be the best looking. Actually, the music video I have in my profile (the one already there, waiting for the clicking) could be an inspiration for a Victorian/Gothic Wedding. And yeah, I know it sounds like shamless advertising, but I'm serious. It could work as a get-up for the kind of theme for a guy or woman (seriously, a lot of women look good/hot in a suit 3nodding ).
But that's just me. I hate most traditions as of late, so... yeah.

So our general conclusion is: do whatever the hell you want. Excellent. I think I'm done here....*takes coat, puts on sunglasses, leaves building*

Whatever you look most beautiful in is what you should wear. mrgreen

The all white tradition seems silly to me as well. (especially since no one else wears white but the bride!) I plan on having a red wedding (inspired by the ancient greek tradition of wearing red).

If you wear a black wedding dress it would also be a good idea to have your brides maids in black and ask the guests to do the same. Or you could have a two-color theme if you want everyone else to have a choice. It's up to you!

I didn't read all of the posts (my computer is a bit touchy lately, and didn't load them all), so this may have already been mentioned-

The "white wedding" concept is really only a little more than 100 years old. Most weddings usually either had a color theme or were in just plain black until the mid-Victorian era, in which upper-society types began wearing white wedding dresses. The style didn't become widely used by the general public until the 1920's.

Given the popularity of Victorian fashion within the goth scene, having an early-Victorian style wedding of all black (or color themed) wouldn't be all too out of place.

hey i was going to say that whee
anyways
it used to be, black for weddings white for funerals.
i've always thought its pretty messed up since now we use white for weddings its kinda like 'its the end of your life (as you know it) here's you new family'
and at the funeral you're kinda free again.
i know, im messed up.

Of course. I say do what you like and what you will always remember as being special to you. If having a Gothic wedding would make it special for the person and his/her partner then they should go for it.
If I ever got married, I'd like to have the ceramony in a glade in the woods and have everyone dress up like fantasy creatures and dance around a bonfire. Everyone would sing, eat, dance, and be merry untill we all passed out under the stars and slept till dawn in the grass. That'd be my wedding, and it'd rock.

I don't see why not. If my wife-to-be one day happens to be a pagan, I would love a pagan wedding. Just an all around celebration of nature. Natural colours and such.
Black weddings have never appealed to me. Black is my day to day wear. I wouldn't mind wearing a black tux, but everyone in black? I just think colours would be so much better.

Yes please 3nodding

A black wedding is PERFECTLY fine, that's what I would dream of. Your wedding should speak you, no matter anyone elses' opinions, just parents' opinions are usually the hardest to get around.  

[Sulphuric]

If I ever get married (Low probability right there...), I won't have a gothic themed wedding, or a normal one. I'll have a "******** Weddings"-Wedding. The garb will be jeans and t-shirts, and the reception will consist of eating take-out and cheap fridge cake, and playing FPS-games while listening to music that makes nuns cry.
Yeah. Basically, if you couldn't tell from my wedding plans, its your wedding. You can do whatever you want.

i want to have a goth-loli wedding

nothing wrong with having a black wedding or a color wedding it whatever.

i think it would be cool it would be very unique i would do it in a way that was incospicuios way because my mom would bite my head off like ozzy and a bat. god but i would find some way to make the wedding my own. oh and i do think that only if it is true you should wear a white dress but if the fact that you have had sex before marrige and are wearing a white dress not only is it lieing but it just not right. i myself dont like traditions certain ones anway i like to make my own
