28 Stunning Gothic Wedding Centerpieces

Halloween-themed weddings, and the level of detail and straight-up spooky, romantic vibes are off the charts!

If you’re curious about how to bring the gothic aesthetic into your wedding, you’ve come to the right place.

Whether you’re inspired by Dia De Los Muertos, Halloween, Victorian vamps, or basically anything macabre, here are some killer ideas for gothic wedding centerpieces that you must see. 

Black Spindle Candleholders

Set of 3 Black Spindle Candle Holders

Add gothic elegance to your DIY wedding, party or shower centerpieces with this set of totally on trend vintage inspired candle holders.

No gothic wedding could be complete without matte black candleholders. We love how elegant these are with their velvety texture. It adds a bit of an old-style romantic edge, rather than a shiny candle holder.

Switch up the colors of your tapered candles with ivory, blood-red, or dark violet candlesticks to match whatever aesthetic you’re looking for! 

Matte Black Macabre Vase

Gothic Skull Vase

New matte black skulls range is this vase which is shorter but wider and a different shape to by tall vase.

Got the flowers all ready but looking for the perfect vessel? Check out this drippy, macabre black vase. A closer look will put you face to face with one of the three painted skulls on the vase. We especially like the dripping black gloss that runs down the rim. 

Gothic Test Tube Stand for Flowers

Miniature Flower Stand

A stand for tubes inspired by Gothic architecture. Made of plywood and covered with black varnish.

Want the ornate, black Victorian aesthetic but the freedom to choose your own floral colors? This gothic test tube stand is just what you’re looking for.

Handcrafted Vintage Candelabra

This one isn’t for the light-hearted (get it?) because it’s a heavy cast iron candleholder! You’ll get a stunner of a centerpiece that screams luxury.

This antique candle holder is just begging for some partially melted candlesticks and dripped wax. Even though some assembly is required, it’s totally worth it. 

Death’s Head Moth Decorative Glass Vase

Black Rectangular Decorative Glass Vase

This huge rectangular glass vase has been hand-painted black, and a very intricate white skull death moth has been added as the focal point.

Got a supernatural kind of love? Then you’ll want to feature the iconic Death’s-head hawkmoth, made famous by the movie Silence of the Lambs.

With the symmetrical moon design in the back, this striking vase is made to hold any bewitching bouquet you can come up with.

Stacked Skull Pillar Candleholders

Is there really a line between Halloween decorations and gothic wedding-themed centerpieces? We say no. These stacked skulls would look awesome with an ivory pillar candle.

There is something so Victorian and gothic about books. Reading in the dim light, falling in love with characters and prose… books are romantic and there’s a reason why they’re used as decoration!

We like these in particular for the stamped skull and wrapped black yarn and twigs. It’s a simple but effective centerpiece!

Vintage Brass Ram’s Head Scalloped Planters

Brass Ram Head Planters

The last one has mild tarnish on the outside, a bit more on the inside of the bowl and two tiny dents.

There is a lot of symbolism in the goth subculture surrounding the rams: namely sacrifice, strength, and leaving your comfort zone.

Why not check out these funky brass ram’s head planters. These vintage planters would look incredibly filled with flowers of your choosing. 

Burgundy, Black, and Gold Rose Petals

Burgundy, Black, and Gold Rose Petals

The petals are all hand-cut by me personally, no two petals are alike, just like the real ones. I use only high-quality satin fabric.
