Gothic Masquerade Wedding Theme for Halloween

With Halloween right around the corner, you may see a bunch of suggestions on having a Halloween themed wedding. Incorporating some fun dance numbers like Thriller or the Monster Mash at the reception or giving small feathered masks as a guest gift are a great way to get everyone in the holiday spirit but how about adding some medieval gothic style to your Halloween wedding?

When selecting your church or reception site, look for elements of gothic architecture like pointed arches, vaulted ceilings, sculptural decoration, stained glass and wooden accents. Many old churches, historical mansions and even some university buildings have these architectural elements and may be available for event rentals. Embrace the theme even more with a Gothic Masquerade Ball reception. Venetian type masks, dark, rich colors, frilly lace, velvet accents, and candles will make for a most romantic and memorable evening.

When you think Goth, you may think dark and mystical, maybe even dragons and vampires but Gothic style can also be interpreted as romantic, royal, elegant and stylish.
