Some people want to look like Cinderella on their wedding day. Others want to look like Morticia Addams. And while there’s no wrong way to have a wedding, those who fall into the latter category will love these goth wedding dresses.
And also might love us. Want to be best friends?
If a white wedding dress makes you want to scream to Hecate, and too much color gets you down, you’ve found your safe space here. While your mom is busy trying to convince you that the lacy white ballerina dress is “perfect,” we’re on your other shoulder pointing you towards all the black, red, and moody, ones on this list.
And after we succeed, we’ll also be the ones pointing you towards Taco Bell.
19 Goth Wedding Dresses for the Day of Your Dark Dreams
1. Black Lace Sleeves Ball Gown
Channel your inner Maleficent with this black lace sleeve ball gown. Fire-breathing dragon not included. Or maybe it is. You can truly buy anything on Etsy these days.
2. Purple and Black Lace Dress
Feeling more Ursula than Maleficent? In this purple and black lace dress you’ll be ready to sing your siren song and use your body language. Hands out means another slice of cake, please.
3. Burgundy and Black Trumpet Dress with Cape
Edna Mode’s “no capes” rule can’t possibly apply to the gorgeous lace cape that comes with this burgundy and black trumpet dress. And if being iconic is what finally does us in, we’re okay with it.
4. Black Spiderweb Dress
Brides who love all things spooky are sure to feel at home in this gown that looks like it was woven by a spider. Those child labor laws that were rolled back in Arkansas must also apply to arachnids. We joke. But seriously, call your senators.
5. Red Ball Gown with Black Beading
Having the Transylvania wedding of your dreams? This red ball gown with black beading is a perfect fit. Don’t invite Jonathan Harker unless you want your wedding present to be a stake. Although the other steak is acceptable.
6. Cream Tulle Ball Gown with Black Lace Top
The darkness and the light go hand in hand to create this ombre wedding gown. If your future spouse is less Wednesday Addams and more Prince Harry, this dress brings together the best of you both. Shh, don’t tell Meghan.
7. Peekaboo Black Lace Dress
This dress is giving drama in the form of lace and legs. And yes, those are butterflies in the lace. You’re not seeing things. That ghost in the corner of your room is definitely real.
8. Steampunk Red and Black Dress
Into Victorian style, but not the lack of human rights in the Victorian era? Throw a steampunk wedding instead, get this red and black dress, and party like it’s 1862 (Taylor’s Version).
9. Black Satin Mermaid Dress with Train
What do you get when you mix Morticia, sirens, and a dash of diva? You get the weirdest take on The Odyssey ever. You also get this black satin mermaid dress with a gorgeous detachable lace train.
10. Red Lace Ball Gown
So you saw Lydia Deetz and Beetlejuice’s wedding and thought, “goals.” We might need to have a talk about healthy relationships, but in the meantime, take some inspiration from Lydia’s red wedding dress and don this ball gown. And then repeat after us: dating a ghost isn’t as cool as Casper made it look.
11. Ball Gown with Red Velvet Overlay
Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf? Not you when you wear this Red Riding Hood-esque ball gown. Heck, even the wolf will fall in love with you. Don’t be charmed, though — he did eat your grandma, after all.
12. Black and Purple Floral Ball Gown
This black and purple floral ball gown looks like what would happen if someone cursed you in an enchanted garden. The subsequent attack of the mosquitos is a whole separate issue.

13. Regency Era Empire Waist Gown
Bridgerton, but make it goth, with this Regency Era empire waist gown. With gorgeous lace and beading, the suitors are sure to come from miles around — even though you’ve already found your Duke of Hastings. So, uhhh…can you send him our way?

14. Purple Off-the-Shoulder Ball Gown
Your Renaissance moment is here with this purple off-the-shoulder ball gown. Shakespeare should have been writing sonnets about you. Except Sonnet 130. We just hurt our own feelings.

15. Black and Gold Ball Gown
This black and gold ball gown looks like an explosion of stars. So if you’re going for a party-at-the-end-of-the-Earth theme, dress the part with this goth wedding gown. We’ll catch you on the other side of our otherworldly hangover.

16. Black Sequin Wedding Dress with White Ruffle Sleeves
What would Cruella de Vil wear to her wedding? Most likely this black sequin dress with white ruffle sleeves. So that makes two things we have in common with her. The other is that we are super obsessed with puppies, obviously.

17. Burgundy Velvet Gown
There’s something dramatic about dark velvet. If you wear this, the most drama at your wedding will be you. Not your Mother-in-Law, who showed up in white. Jokes on her.

18. Black Lace Wedding Gown with Beaded Cape
This black lace ball gown belongs on a fabulous witch in the middle of the woods. Bubble, bubble, we’re in trouble.
19. Black and Pink Beaded Ball Gown
Think goth and pink don’t go together? This black and pink beaded ball gown will convince you otherwise. This dress is more romantic than Gomez Addams. And that man made being compared to a cactus sound romantic.
