Child Bride Costume

midnight bride child costumeEven our children can get swept up in the Gothic Halloween craze.  They get fascinated with all of the fun that goes along with dressing in the dark style that Gothic is known for.  Since Halloween only happens one night a year you’ll really enjoy watching them play the part with a Gothic Child Bride Costume.  You’ll be surprised at how much more fun a bride costume can be opposed to a witch or vampire!

Midnight Bride Child Costume

Available in Children’s Sizes:  Small (6), Medium (8), Large (10), and X-Large (12)

The Midnight Bride Costume is just stunning.  There’s something about the world of darkness that fascinates children and this costume is incredible to look at but fun all at the same time.  The midnight bride is supposed to glide down the aisle as the clock strikes midnight, forever entering the mysterious world of Gothic adventure.

This velvet dress is black with steel blue satin.  It’s sleeveless with an attached hoop skirt that flairs nicely.  The burnout overlay has a stunning lace trim and a satin ribbon tie.  The overlay is what really gives this costume a sense of dark adventure.  The outfit also comes with a veil that has a large black rose on top in typical Gothic style.

In review, this costume comes with the dress, the overlay, and the veil.  You can really dress this one up if you’d like and here are some of the best accessories that you can add:

midnight choker childMidnight Choker and Moonlight Wig

The Midnight Choker is a great accessory to look at and it’s very inexpensive to buy.  It’s sheer lace in style and is stretchy so the kids can just put it on over their heads.  It looks great against the overlay and kids tend to love chokers so it’s something they’ll be sure to wear again.

The Moonlight Wig is a blonde children’s wig that is long and slightly curly in style.  This wig looks stunning against the veil that comes with the Midnight Bride Costume.  It can really handle the big black rose and works great with kids who have shorter hair.  This is also an accessory that can be worn time and again.

Don’t you just love the way the eye makeup is applied in this picture?  It’s a very simple application to make this work and all it takes is a little colored eye makeup.  I know many of us hate to see makeup on kids but this is a special occasion that only happens once a year so you may want to consider it.

midnight bride purseMidnight Bride Purse

Your little Midnight Bride may have lots of accessories and “things” to carry and that’s where the Midnight Bride Purse comes in handy.  This little handbag matches the costume just perfectly and is dark blue and black velvet.

This bag is just what your little gothic girl needs to keep her stuff in order.  It has a cinch top that is easy to open and close, a black tie handle that’s easy to hold, and a black lace ruffle that matches her overlay.  It’s made specifically for this outfit but your little girl can use it again with other outfits.  I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how nicely it matches.

Your little girl can carry her wallet, her glimmer makeup, her lipstick, her hair brush, and even a little hair spray in this pretty bag!  I love the fact that this bag is a little romantic and Victorian all at the same time.

The black and white veil and the black choker are also included.  You won’t have to accessorize much with this costume but you’ve got to admit that the eye makeup looks wonderfully Gothic.  Those black eye rings really make give the appearance of a corpse and your little girls will love trick or treating in this one!

Child brides and child marriages are a social phenomenon that have been very popular in certain cultures and environments.  For example, aristocrats in some societies used child marriages as a way to secure political ties between certain states or sometimes factions.   Even the lower classes took advantage of child marriages to try and gain ties with wealthier people strictly for financial gain.  In in Western society we just think of child brides as entertaining Halloween fun!

Gothic wedding ceremonies tend to be short and simple.  Traditional Gothic vows are normally exchanged and of course the color choice for the loving couple is typically black and dark although it can be any color that they choose.  These ceremonies are presided over by a celebrant, an individual who is legally authorized to conduct wedding ceremonies.  Most Gothic couples take a blood vow when they are introduced as a couple by the celebrant to their wedding guests.  Their left wrists are bound together with a red cloth and they both drink out of a goblet filled with red wine, symbolizing their “blood devotion” to one another.

day of the dead brideDay of the Dead Bride Adult Costume

Available in Adult Sizes Small, Medium, Large, and X-Large.

Talk about a Gothic Bride Costume that is both extravagant and enchanting all at the same time.  This dress radiates scary, thrilling, and exotic all in one.  It’s a little sexy in a dark way with its low cut V-neck and its fitted waist.

You’ll be celebrating the Dia De Los Muertos in style when your wear this full length bridal gown with frightening skeleton imprints on both the sleeves and the bodice.  You need to been a little scary because you do need to let everyone know that you’re dead, remember?  The folk art motif on the bust enhances the low cut neckline.

There are tons of lace details on this dress including the neckline, the shoulders, around the wrists, and on the stunning tulip skirt overlay.  Also included with the dress is a stunning black choker with an attached red bow-tie and a character veil that can be worn over the face (you can easily see through it) or behind the head.  You’ve got to apply some heavy makeup with this one to give it the full effect.  I love the extra effect of the heavy black eyes.

coffin bride costumeCoffin Bride Adult Costume

Available in Adult Sizes Small/Medium and Medium/Large

The Coffin Bride is a little more of a classic Gothic Bride Costume but you can have loads of fun with this one!  These black and white velvet dresses are really beautiful and trust me when I say that other people will die for it!  The tie inserts on the bodice and the shoulder tatters give it an edge of sexiness.

The long wrist tatters give this entire costume a little bit of edginess and creepiness, a little bit of a zombie edge.  Just think how they’ll look when you’re walking outside in a little bit of a breeze and they’re waffling around in the wind.  The choker and veil give a little bit of mysteriousness to the entire ensemble and they really pull the whole outfit together.

What I think is fun about this bride costume is that you can really accessorize with this one.  You can begin with some great makeup ideas like the beaded tip eyelashes and some shimmer and shine makeup.  Add those long black fingernails, a coffin clutch, and some barbed wire bracelets.  You could even think about the black rose bouquet and a gothic ring to really complete the picture.  You’ll be sure to stand out at this year’s Halloween party!
