Define Your Wedding Style
Everyone has a different take on what goth means to them and how they would like their gothic wedding theme to look. Try to experiment with what it means to you and your overall look.
Are you more inclined to a wedding with a dark romance theme, or do you want a semi-gothic wedding with a vintage venue? Once you’ve defined what your dream wedding looks like, you can style your wedding piercings according to that for a coherent look.

If you’re opting for a bold look, go with piercings that match your aesthetic. You can use big gemstones, show off your facial piercings, and draw attention to your look with ear an eyebrow piercing or a big ol’ septum jewellery piece with stones of your choice in the middle.

Balance The Look
The trick to having the most beautifully coordinated piercings for your wedding day is having a balanced approach and a symmetrical look. For a visually aesthetic wedding day look, focus on enhancing the attractiveness of piercings that you want to highlight, such as a nose hoop or a beautiful ear piercing.
For better coordination of all your piercings, mix and match the understated pieces with the bolder ones. For instance, you can draw attention to your face with a bold and more prominent look, and complement it with a small stud or hoop on your nose for a nice touch of subtlety. The idea is to balance out the look while using pieces that highlight your most attractive features.
