You are choosing your dress based upon a wedding theme or a certain tradition that you are celebrating. For instance, the dress you choose may not fit into the traditional vision if you are handfasting in a pagan wedding, celebrating ethnic roots in your wedding, or having a medieval ceremony. Of course to some people, our choice may seem like it falls into the category of unusual wedding dresses, but it may just be better suited to your wedding theme!

Gothic Wedding Dresses

Gothic-inspired wedding gowns are not all white. They are usually in bold dark colors such as red, hunter green, brown and black. Sometimes white is also used here but there are other colors such as black or red bleeding in to make the dress look darker and more interesting.
