We love to feature rainbow weddings, whimsical weddings, sparkly beach weddings, but some offbeat weddings are dark, mysterious, and decidedly non-whimsical. That's when goth meets Halloween meets black dresses and jewel tones and Medieval-inspired venues.

It's not all light and airy... sometimes weddings are elegant and moody and so perfectly gorgeous. Let's take a peek at all kinds of goth and dark wedding themes and details...

Blush and bashful Black!

Vanessa and Alexander knew that black and black were their signature colors.

An homage to our #goals couple

Hollianne and Jonathan had lots of references to Gomez and Morticia (spawned by this gorgeous ink!) at their wedding.

Hearts, but darker

Sure, mom, there will totally be hearts at the wedding ...

Deadly chic nails

Alexandra knew exactly what type of nails to pair with her gothic Halloween wedding theme.

Moody mismatched centerpieces

This wedding had three goth themes AND these amazing nature-meets-color centerpieces. No flowers required!

Inspired by animation

Animation can be creepy as hell, as we know from Neil Gaiman's book/movie Coraline. These Coraline-inspired table settings are stunning.

Spooky library meets Edgar Allan Poe

From dry ice to skull decor, this Poe-inspired wedding is deliciously creepy.

Lovecraftian delights

Tentacles and Cthulhu and all things Lovecraft are abundant in offbeat weddings like this one.

Nuri and Victor had a Cthulhu-themed wedding with so.many.tentacles. Go seeeee!

Two words: Tim Burton

The costuming opportunities

Metallic meets black

When metallics meet monochrome, we begin to swoon hardcore.

Say hello to Brittany's gold and black Irregular Choice shoes (oh, and her gold and black seashell bouquet!).

Blood red and purple details

Pops of red or purple always look killer with dark grays and blacks, as you can see in Tash's bouquet.

White dress + dark makeup

'Til death do us part

Nicole and Josef's 'til death details are just the start of what we've seen.

Fangs and claws

Exploring fantasy themes is awesome and done SO well at Lady Zombie and Ali Fangsmith's wedding.

Masks and mystery

Emily and Dan rocked masks by Satori Masks. Masquerades offer all the opportunities for goth and glam details.
