The Art of Darkness

I served this wine at my wedding, but it appears that they’ve expanded their selection significantly when I wasn’t looking. They may also be offering a soft drink called “Dracola,” but that part of the site is all in Flash, which I hate with the white-hot fury of a thousand suns, so you’re on your own if you want to check that out.

Anyway, these guys used to sell a couple of red wines with funky labels, but now it looks like they’ve got a whole range (including white, which somehow seems all wrong) and the labels are a little more polished.

Terror in the Aisle

July 4th, 2007 by Cobwebs

Cooing doves and pastel almonds make you cringe. The idea of a big white dress with a bow on the butt keeps you up at night. Don’t despair! There are many ways to inject your own tastes into your wedding for a memorable, personal celebration.

Since I run the Halloweddings Website, it occurs to me that I should probably offer the occasional tidbit about planning a Halloween/Gothic wedding. So I will. Here’s one now!

If you can’t quite bring yourself to dress your bridesmaids in black, they can wear a dark color such as cranberry or burnt umber with black lace shawls, black velvet cameo choker, or some other spooky accessory.

I’ll post tips here from time to time, and in a wonderful synergy of function I’ll also steal them for use over at Halloweddings. Because I tend to be rather lackadaisical about adding new tips to that site. Because I have a toddler. Because of my wedding. See? Synergy!
