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.

Go for a white or ivory wedding dress with a black cape or black coverup of lace, it’s a very cool idea.

Grooms and groomsmen may wear all-black looks with bow ties or ties. The bridesmaids may also wear black or black and white.
