What comes to mind when you think of gothic aesthetics? Perhaps gloomy atmosphere, rich shades of burgundy and plum, or dramatic pointed arches from a medieval cathedral. Doesn't sound like a typical wedding mood board, right? Well, that's where things get interesting. The gothic aesthetic is finding a new place in modern weddings. With couples like Gabbriette and Matty Healy giving traditional romance a deliciously dark twist, we're all for it.
Of course, there's no need to take the gothic references quite so literally. You don't need a Victorian mansion with a mysterious past or an entirely black color palette to make it all work. There's room for full-blown dark romance, unexpected contrasts and even a more minimalist interpretation. So, we've rounded up some of our favorite gothic-inspired ideas that might just tempt you over to the darker side of wedding design.
