If you are getting married at Halloween or if you just enjoy dark romance and aesthetics, you may want to go dark while tying the knot. Saying that I mean both decor and color scheme and of course your wedding attire that will help you support the colors. Today’s roundup is for brides as it’s dedicated to the ways to rock dark bridal attire and accessories for a wow effect.
Dark Wedding Dresses
A dark wedding dress is the main thing for a Halloween or moody bride. Usually it’s a black one but you may find burgundy, forest green, navy and deep purple gowns, too. There are all kinds of designs to please every bride, from wedding ballgowns to modern and minimalist dresses in dark shades. Choose the dress that expresses your style and matches the style of your wedding, for example, if it’s an Addams family wedding, think Mortisha-inspired fitting and embellished lace gowns. If it’s a modern moody wedding, consider wearing a plain wedding dress with a slit as the only detail.
