Thread: Ghost Bride Prop Question

Tweet

I hope people will not think this is sacrilegious, but I would like to use my wedding dress to make a ghost bride prop. I was married in the 1970's when the style of wedding dresses was loose and flowing which I think offers a lot of potential for an inside prop. Black lights would be used to light the display. I'm considering three options (listed below). Which one would you choose to best fit the style of the dress?

1. Ghost with white sculpted head and white hair
2. Vampire bride with red accents and dark wig
3. Skeleton bride with dead flower bouquet

I think a skeleton bride with dead flowers would be the best/creepiest.
A vampire bride might be alright, I'm just not into vampires myself.
I think a white ghost head and white hair would not show up very well against the all white dress.
Nice dress, by the way. (Can you get the two red dresses the little girls are wearing and make a couple of skeleton dead-flower girls?)

My vote is for the ghost bride.

here's the corpse bride we did last year, we opted to not use an actual dress and just wrap a skel in some net

The final effect had a painted skel and was lit with pulsing RGB DMX lights, the reasoning behind using net was we didnt want to hide the skel too much

I would do the ghost bride.

Ghost bride! The other two are so cliche.


If you didnt know, I made a replica of the bride from the haunted mansion. Many people actually ask to buy it or ask if it's THE bride. I find it funny. here's a video of her:

Not sacrilegious in my opinion... it's your dress, you should be able to do with it what you want. I'm a little on the sentimental side, so I don't think I'd be able to do it. But if you're okay with it, no one should tell you otherwise.

I vote for the ghost bride too! That's much more fun and eerie. I'm also thinking of the ghost bride at the Haunted Mansion with the beating heart, etc! It's going to be fun to see what you do with it.

Madame X wanted me to sell her wedding Dress to the forum so others could make this prop. I still have it. 30 +s/h+ppf

What a great corpse bride. I bet it looked fabulous at night.

Fabulous display. I love the red heart lights and will surely have to consider adding that. Thank you for sharing.
