Question from Lisa:
I am looking for favors, invitations, gifts and reception decorations for a gothic wedding or halloween wedding. Can you suggest somewhere I can find this stuff?
Answer from Bridal Expert Angela:
Hi Lisa, and congratulations on your upcoming wedding. I have yet to see a wedding store with a gothic section, but I do get many requests for this. All hope is not lost. Most wedding shops have items that can work to create a gothic theme.
A search through the fall wedding favours will give you some halloween choices, and you might also consider the black and white themed wedding favours. I suggest you browse through the pages of wedding favours, as each category has something that you might consider. For example, under Elegant Wedding Favours, you can find mini black satin photo albums, black and silver bottle stoppers that look much like a "stake", and a set of black and white mint boxes. Under Unique Wedding Favours, you can find the "Cheers to a Great Combination" Wine Set that has black packaging with a silver corkscrew and bottle stopper. Each page has something that you might adapt to fit your personality and style.
For wedding invitations, there are many to choose from including season parties and non-wedding invitations.
Wedding reception decorations are easily found, but depending upon your vision for your wedding, you may want to find a party store that caters to season parties for halloween items. As for wedding gifts, I suggest you try this link.
Depending upon the colours you are having for your wedding (say black and red), there are lots of red and black wedding favours. There are hundreds of candle wedding favours, and candles are synonymous with gothic. I suggest choosing the colours that you want with your theme first, as it will help you with the rest of your choices.
Enjoy shopping!
