Wedding Attire And Makeup

What to wear if you are a soft or modern gothic bride? Any black wedding dresses are welcome – more vintage ones with corsets or more modern ones with criss cross straps on the back. As it’s a soft gothic wedding, you may soften the look with white or some other shades. Try a wedding separate with an ombre skirt and a black lace top – you’ll look super trendy! Go for a white or ivory wedding dress with a black cape or black coverup of lace, it’s a very cool idea. If you are wearing a neutral wedding gown, you may give yourself a more gothic feel with black smokeys, gothic bracelets, earrings, back necklaces and black booties. Grooms and groomsmen may wear all-black looks with bow ties or ties. The bridesmaids may also wear black or black and white.
