My step brother is getting married on Halloween. It is a gothic/costume wedding and I need to dress up.
I need ideas desperately... they can't be expensive or too elaborate as I only have days to get it together.
Please help me!

If it's mainly Goth then just wear whatever you can find in black and buy some costume make-up and black nailpolish

Do you have a Hot Topic by you? They have some really cute Gothic Costumes. Also, Vampires are goth. That is what I am going to be this year. You can get a hooded dress/cape combo some vampire teeth and really dark makeup.

Target still had a few adult costumes left that would fit in that category. Everything Halloween is on a major sale there. I don't know if you have a target near you. That's not a whole lot of notice on the wedding.

I'm sorry, I'm still trying to get past the whole, getting married on Halloween and costumes. It's..kitschey ( don't think I spelled that right) It actually sounds like a LOT of fun! I say grab a cape with a hood, about $20. Add black dress or skirt, and Goth makeup. Add color streaks to your hair. Red and black work best. I want PICTURES!!!

Well I've decided I'm going as a corpse bride (yes I ok'ed the wedding dress with the actual bride). I have a wedding dress and I'm going to have my boyfriend (he's a make-up and hair stylist for drag queens) do my makeup to look pale with hallows around my eyes and cheeks... maybe blueish lips? ...and carry a bouquet of dead flowers with a red ribbon wrapped around them.
I haven't decided if I'm willing to tatter and discolor the dress yet.
And YES there will be lots of pictures!

Whoa! Back up. Boyfriend? What's this about? I don't remember you telling us about any boyfriend. What's he like? Where did you meet him? And so on and so forth...

Yeah, we're all awake, aren't we? You have some 'splainin' to do, lady!

I love the Corpse Bride idea, though I'd probably do a Corpse Bridesmaid (same costume, just not a white dress) - you probably have a hideous bridesmaid dress hanging in your closet, don't you? Don't we all?
