Open Question: White Goth Wedding...?

I've always had a thing for the dramatic and after I chose my dress and my girl's chose their dresses, I realized the contrast between my stark white and their jewel tone indigo and bordeaux. So I began to read several articles on Billy Martin's wedding and after listening to the score on Corpse Bride decided that I wanted my wedding to have an dark, ethereal feel to it.

I plan to do most things myself. This is the church and the ceremony area {Both already finished but no new pics, sorry}: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h128/LaViollete/church1.jpg I didn't take a picture of the reception area but its white with tulle and christmas lights hanging fom the cieling, we can dim the lights and the tables are round. So after this long introduction, now to my question. I would like an ethereal ceremony and reception with everything white. I am planning to use music scores by some Tim Burton movie's and the Twilight score including Bella's lullaby as well as classical music played throughout the reception. I just need some advice and tips on how to incorporate a ghostly, dark mood into the pure white wedding and reception since I want no color except for the bridesmaids. I would appreciate answers and just in case I am in no way goth nor am pretending to be, I'm just an overly dramatic, over the top young woman who wants to have a beautiful wedding. Thanks in advance for your kind answers...

Your wedding sounds beautiful - I love the items you've chosen already.

For dramatic white accents have you considered your bouqets? I love the idea of cascading white flowers mixed with bar twigs (painted white) or white features. Alternatively, you and your bridesmaids could carry lanterns - I've seen ornate latticed lanterns in white before.

For invites, white invitations with black vines/swirls/lattice designs or black birds would look gothic without being OTT.

That's just a couple of ideas - I'm sure you'll think of plenty more!
