Gothic Theme Favor - A gothic wedding doesn’t necessarily have the bride dressed in black, black makeup, skulls and all other types of gruesome items everywhere – despite popular belief.
Now, if that’s what you want, go for it, but that doesn’t necessarily fit the gothic theme. Just because we’re going gothic doesn’t mean you can’t have a little fun in the process.
When it comes to planning a gothic wedding that themed with the elements of mysticism and ancient druidic practice, the “Goth” couple should ask themselves if they want to affirm a philosophy or simply create the look. Goths consider themselves free thinkers attracted to the dark side of life.
The wedding dress usually features puffed sleeves, plunging necklines and tightly cinched bodices, colored in dark dramatic hues such as black.
And a touch of dark velvet for the groom and his entourage and ruby red gowns for bridesmaid can complete a right gothic flair.
The wedding, even though it is meant to be gothic, doesn’t have to be dark and dreary and the wedding favors chosen can be any type that the gothic couple likes.
One Gothic couple decided to hand out heart shaped cookie cutters as wedding day favors. Another couple chose candle wedding favors with XOXO printed in black across them.
Other favors for guests can be heart shaped silver corkscrews for those that enjoy a good glass of wine from time to time. Or perhaps a deck of cards in the shape of a heart, or with a wedding couple printed on the front that is actually two dogs.
If you’re a little nervous on handing out an item to someone that they might not like, small leather picture key chains are an item that is just about perfect for any guest, a neutral item that any one can enjoy.
