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
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
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
This driftwood plant propagation station is so beautiful whether it is used for plant propagation or for fresh flowers. The four test tubes that are included are made from borosilicate glass, known for durability and excellent chemical resistance. With the test tubes in, the plant propagation station measures 6-3/4" in height, 12-1/2' wide, and 3" deep.
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.
You can put anything your heart desires in the test tubes, and the black Gothic architecture of the stand makes it darkly romantic. Voila; thank us later.
