My household has a raging case of the cooties (all three of us are sick), so please forgive me for the lack on commentary. This week’s Wedding Wednesday is a gorgeous pairing of dark gothic hues and romantic floral and feather details. I hope you enjoy it!

Hello and welcome…to “This Old Goth.” Well, this old goth has what I believe to be a gorgeous turn of the 20th century gothic wedding inspiration. Spats, cameos, and a gorgeous bustle dress were the cornerstones for the board. I hope you enjoy it!

It’s one of my favorite times of year. The time where everyone deems it acceptable to be a bit macabre and celebrate the dark parts of life. For some of us, it’s a time to be silly and poke a little fun at death, knowing that one day it will happen to us.
Throughout history, death was seen as a normal part of life. Popular belief says the notion of “memento mori,” meaning “remember you will die” originated with the Romans. In the 15th century, carrying a bit of death with you (typically a little skull of some sort on jewelry) became a part of one’s fashion to remind them to live for today as tomorrow is no guarantee.
Being a weird old goth, I love this notion and it’s aesthetic. Today’s board was inspired by this image (artist unknown):

Good afternoon! Thanks for hanging in there with me. As my long-time readers will know, I am always preaching about details. It’s the details that make an ordinary wedding theme extraordinary. One of those details that can set the tone for the celebration is the wedding cake. Whether you choose a dark elaborate fondant creation or a slightly more traditional cake with a raven inspired topper, I definitely encourage you to get a cake that represents who you are as a couple.
Here are some great cake and cake topper ideas for your goth nuptials.
