Twitter Kat Von D in her stunning, gothic wedding gown.
Kat Von D’s wedding to musician Rafael Reyes has been an internet sensation after the tattooed bride donned a stunning, blood red gown for the ceremony. Although Kat Von D and Reyes officially tied the knot in February, the couple opted for a later celebration with friends and family.
TWO MORE DAYS UNTIL OUR WEDDING. 🖤🗡
The couple threw the goth wedding of the century, from their engagement photos and wedding outfits to their invitations and official matrimonial sigil, according to Paper Mag. The Kat Von D Beauty founder looked devilish in her bright red, ruffled, gown with a custom-made veil and cape, all by designer Adolfo Sanchez. It was topped off with matching red, branch-like horns seemingly growing from her voluminous updo, which was styled by Adir Abergel according to Allure.
Breathtakingly Beautiful ❤️
Kat posted on Instagram in April upon mailing invites, saying “@prayers and I have been working hard, curating a beautiful artful-minded experience for our loved ones to celebrate with us. ? ” They followed through on June 2nd, with a theme following their personal marriage mantra “En vida y en muerte” which means “in life and in death.”
Seyer also posted a stunning photo on Instagram of Von D wearing an all-red gown and veil by designer Adolfo Sanchez along with a horned headpiece before the celebration, writing, “In a couple hours I’ll be walking down the aisle with the love of my life @thekatvond ENVIDA Y EN MUERTE.”
On Saturday, Von D—who’s also expecting a son with Reyes—posted a beautiful Instagram tribute with some thoughts about her upcoming wedding. The post had a bright red carnation accompanying it, a possible hint at her blood-red wedding plans.
“Such a beautifully emotional day today. Tomorrow, @prayers and I will have our wedding ceremony for our close friends + family. This has been the sweetest, most stress-free experience where we continuosly [sic] fell in love with each other all over again with each day counting down. This is a photo of 3 carnations that our dear friends @majestyblack brought us tonight after our rehearsal and soundcheck. Red carnations are @prayers favourite flower, and the 3 represent him, me, and our sweet baby boy we are adding to our family. All I can say right now is that i am so grateful for my dear friends, and for my sweet husband. ❤️” she wrote.
The entire wedding was bathed in a red glow, from the lighting and decorations to the cake, table clothes, flowers and, obviously, the dress.

“Today, I married my soul’s mate, my mind’s twin, my best friend,” she captioned a photo holding her groom’s hand, which showed off their silver wedding bands and matching black nail polish.
