Medieval and Victorian Wedding Gowns from Spooky Kitten Couture

Spooky Kitten Couture offers a range of handmade “costumes”, which are more elaborate than they sound. Spooky Kitten Couture is the shop of a Californian costume designer and she says: “if you have an idea, or twelve, we can moosh them together into your dream wedding gown.” The use of the word “moosh” has me sold She’s got Victorian gowns, medieval gowns, Southern Belle costumes, and more. She uses quality fabrics and embellishments, and – although these are relatively simplistic gowns - the attention to detail shows. Spooky Kitten Couture’s costumes would make excellent bridesmaid dresses, or even bridal or mother-of-the-bride outfits.... »View More

Gothic Feather Headdresses from Pegasus Maiden

Gothic Feather Headdresses from Pegasus Maiden

If you’re looking for feathered head-attire for a gothic wedding or, perhaps, a woodland fantasy or faery revel, you might consider these delightful beauties designed by of Pegasus Maiden. I found these lovelies through Etsy, but they also operate a website which features a wider selection, including some seriously kickass clothing and stockings. They’ve even got a few Gothic Lolita-inspired pieces. I love how their designs are quite understated, so the coloured feathers really pop. If you were debating an alternative to the wedding veil but thought everything else you’d seen was a bit too out-there, these sweet fascinators/headdresses might change your mind. I think the top... »View More

It’s been a long time since I featured a steampunk business here on wedding skulls, but that time is at an end.

Skull and Punk Rock Garters from Peterene designs

Skull and Punk Rock Garters from Peterene designs

To garter or not to garter? It’s a bit of an odd question, really. The whole garter-tossing ceremony seems rather strange and outdated to me – which is why we didn’t partake of it. I wasn’t going to wear a garter, but my dress lady sent me one as a free gift – a gorgeous red and black lace garter with skull beads on it. So awesome. ALMOST as awesome as the amazing punk rock garters from Peterene Designs, makers of vintage and theme wedding garters and accessories. »View More  »View More

Advice for Shopping on Etsy

Advice for Shopping on Etsy

I’m always in awe of the amazing creative talent on Etsy. No wonder so many brides shop on Etsy for unique wedding items. If you’re new to Etsy, however, it can take a little while to understand how the site works. I thought I’d give a little info to help potential Skully brides and grooms with successful etsy shopping trips: When you arrive at Etsy, you probably have a fair idea of what your looking for – a necklace, corset, garter, invitation, favor bags, flower girl dress, etc. You know roughly what style of wedding you want – gothic, punk, rockabilly, etc, and you might have an idea about possible colours. Your first stop should be the search engine. Etsy have... »View More

Wedding Skulls is now on Etsy!

Wedding Skulls is now on Etsy!

Yaaarrrrr! I might have mentioned this before, but I thought I’d better do a whole post on the topic. Just in time for Etsy Day, Wedding Skulls now has an Etsy shop! You can buy both wedding planner ebooks there – as well as my writing ebooks, and copywriting / marketing writing packages for Etsy shops. But that’s not the best part. A good friend of mine – Amy Beales – has come on board as well. She’s selling her beautiful line of gothic clothing and accessories, including wedding garters, favor bags, rosaries, coats, corsets, bags and more. Every one of her creations is custom made to your exact measurements, so you can change the colours/fabrics if you desire.... »View More
