In a mesmerizing fusion of elegance and darkness, this styled wedding shoot was inspired by the Hotel series of American Horror Story and unfolded at the enchanting Cosy Club in Nottingham. Embracing the art deco ambiance of the venue, the creative team behind the shoot crafted an immersive experience that blurred the lines between sophistication and the macabre.

In the quiet embrace of the fading sunlight, amidst the ancient ruins of Chateau Bas, a tale of dark elegance unfolded. Provence photographer Luxea Photographie weaved magic through their lens, capturing moments of beauty and intimacy in a setting steeped in history and mystery.

Whether you wear a lot of makeup or you feel absolutely clueless, there are many reasons to hire a professional makeup artist for your wedding day. But we also know how important it is to feel like yourself… so how do you find a makeup artist that knows the difference between casual goth and glam goth, can do more than a simple wing liner, is inherently inclusive and already carries all the best products in their kit?

As weddings in late October become more and more popular, you may be finding it increasingly difficult to secure your favourite venue and book your preferred suppliers, but fear not! There are plenty of alternative dates to build your day around.

Once upon a time, in a world cloaked in shadow, timeless tale of love was reimagined through a darker lens. And when you actually look at the tale, there’s nothing Disney about it.

The Beauty and the Beast story, originally steeped in romantic fairy’-ale has undergone a mesmerising metamorphosis in the realm of gothic weddings.

Goth culture is deeply rooted in alternative thinking and the defiance of tradition, epitomizing the rejection of societal norms and the embrace of individuality. By challenging tradition, goth culture advocates for the liberation of self-expression and authenticity, transcending the constraints of conformity in favour of a fairer, more real, existence.

So imagine then, hundreds of years ago when women had very few rights and convention dictated that only men could propose, how incredibly punk it was for a woman to break custom to bend the knee!

As we reflect on the incredible turnout and the overwhelming positive feedback from both suppliers and visitors, we are filled with a sense of pride and gratitude. The Gothic Luxe wedding fair was not just a showcase of products; it was a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and the beauty of ALL love stories.

Introducing a bewitching and new addition to our dark and gothic wedding blog - a mesmerising styled shoot captured under the enchanting veil of night at the historic Crichel House Archway. Our latest submission, courtesy of Garnet Weddings, unveils an otherworldly celebration of friendship, rich with the essence of the unconventional. Featuring 2 strikingly ethereal models, the shoot encapsulates a hauntingly beautiful setting… lets delve into this shoot with Garnet Weddings and allow their own words to paint the picture.

For many, black is not a wedding colour. Of course they are wrong. For me it’s the natural choice for well, everything… and I know I’m not alone!

We knew we wanted to show that black and all things dark and typically considered spooky, are actually incredibly beautiful, meaningful and really bloody glamourous. Here it’s not just a key colour, but the ONLY colour. Where spiders, webs and bones are non longer simply Halloween motifs, but wonderfully symbolic emblems of love and commitment and also insanely elegant.

And here we are to show that ‘dark weddings’ are more than a fashion trend and they’re here to stay.

The idea of TilDeath has been bubbling in the background for years, but it has taken all those years to get to this point. TilDeath is a collaboration of Legend Bridal, Vicky Dubois Photography and Maddison Rocks Floral. It is very much a collaboration, BUT I’m going to chat about the whole creation and ethos from my, Charlotte (Legend Bridal’s) point of view…

What started out as a group of TilDeath suppliers taking advantage of being in the same place at the same time, turned into an incredibly meaningful and teary day.

It’s no surprise that several of the TilDeath tribe would be in Whitby for Tomorrow’s Ghosts Festival; either vending or simply enjoying the weekend. So we decided to try and take advantage of the opportunity…
