Gothing Up a Traditional Wedding Reception Decorations: Roses -- fresh or dried -- can be fashioned into a variety of centerpieces. Even a single dark blossom floating on water in a shallow glass dish can look stunning. Flower petals and confetti (maybe glitter!) add a pretty accent to dining tables. The Wedding Cake: For the cake topper, look for Nightmare Before Christmas figurines (Disney used to carry some; check eBay for second-hand figures) or Beetlejuice cartoon figures (these are no longer in production, but might be found on eBay as well). Other gothy figurines would be cats, bats, dragons, and fairies. Or take traditional Bride and Groom caketop figures and give them a gothic makeover. Paint their clothes in dark colors, and paint on gothic makeup and hair. Or find two small dolls and sew gothic clothes for them. There are also many companies who will create custom portrait caketop figurines (altho' these are usually quite costly). Music: |
