Gothic Wedding Dresses: Black vs. White

   Traditional dresses for brides consist of many classic fabrics such as tulle and lace to accentuate the overall beauty of their design. These features are carried through on Gothic wedding dresses as well. However, what really sets this type of dress apart from classic dresses outside of the Gothic realm, are the colors and designs that give them the Gothic flare. Below are the various aspects to a black or white Gothic wedding dress.

·        Black Wedding Dresses:  

        Sleek shades of black, red, grey and sometimes white, make these dresses really stand out among the crowd. Any Gothic bride would love to wear these as an expression of her true self. While the colors are a significant feature of the dresses, it's the materials and shape of the dress that takes them over the edge and definitively make them Gothic. Gothic style overall can be considered to have a Victorian feel to it. This includes fluted long skirts and corsets on the upper torso to shape and lift the midsection. Often times, these dresses include dark colors of tulle on the elongated skirts with lace details.

        Lace and lace embroidery are absolutely crucial parts of any wedding dress. But more specifically for Gothic dresses, they really add an element of elegant darkness to their whole look. What truly makes lace and lace embroidery special is its design. No two lace pieces are exactly the same and the devil is in the details. From floral designs to seemingly sweeping movement by swirls and intricate details, lace stands out among other materials. It is the embellishment on these Gothic wedding dresses that give them their extra beautiful texture. Most commonly, the lace is black with another color underneath like dark red so that the lace really stands out. 

 

 

 

 

·        White Wedding Dresses:

        Gothic brides may be drawn to traditional black dresses, however, there are white varieties of the Gothic wedding dress. One of the biggest features that translates from darker dresses to white ones is the lace and embroidery. As previously expressed, lace is a delicate and gorgeous way to add lovely details to any piece of wardrobe. On a wedding dress, that look is really elevated. On white Gothic dresses, the lace detail is just as intricate and true to the style.

        While lace is a big player on the forefront for these types of dresses, the materials as a whole change up a bit. There are silks incorporated for a different texture mixed with tulle as well. Another great feature of a white Gothic wedding dress are the trains. They can be really dramatic to create a sweeping feel for the bride. What truly sets these apart from traditional dresses with long trains is how the rest of the dress looks as well. Traditional dresses have long, flowing skirts with their long trains. However, part of the excitement for a Gothic bride is finding various cuts of dress with the longer train. For example, the dress itself may be above the knees for a stunning and dramatic look. 

 

 

 

Even though the dress itself is white, Gothic elements are implemented for those special touches for the bride. things like accents of black bows, the attractive lace, and small pops of color like floral designs, are key features to make any Gothic bride happy.

 

White Wedding Dresses Designed with Dark Temperament

 

   Wedding dress designers who have Gothic brides in mind, take close consideration of the dark temperament that comes with the Gothic style. Even in a white dress, these dark temperaments should be included. This sets the dress apart from classic wedding dresses worn by every day brides. This extra step ensures the dress is fitting for any Gothic bride and gives them the confidence and freedom to express their style and tastes. After all, getting married is the biggest moment in any person's life! They should feel amazing and exceptional in their wardrobe that day!

 

   One of the most common ways to add some darkness to a white wedding dress starts with the tie-in process. This can be applied to black dresses as well, but it comes off as more striking among a white dress. A stark addition of tying in colors with white dresses is through the use of dark colors. This can be accomplished through two toned looks. An example of this would a most white colored dress with red as an undertone along the skirt, etc. A black corset top and flowing white and black tie-in color also makes for a dark and enchanted look. 

 

 

 

   Another choice for a Gothic bride is a Victorian Gothic white wedding dress. The Victorian look is heavily appreciated by Gothic culture along with Gothic punk looks to create a streamlined unique fashionable presence. Victorian wear often has a corseted top for a tight midsection and a flowing, puffed out skirt that trails just above the floor. Elements of black or red can be woven throughout this look on the skirt or even on the longer sleeves that are often associated with this type of dress.
