Use the reference image as the sole source for the subject’s appearance. Preserve the girl’s original face shape, facial proportions, large brown eyes, natural skin tone, long brown hair, and sweet expression.
Create a mysterious, dreamlike ghost bride. She tilts her head slightly toward the camera, with lively eyes and a hint of mystery and playfulness. Add delicate silver-white glitter beside her cheeks, and give her refined, natural-looking makeup.
Her dark brown hair combines a loose, elegant updo with long, naturally falling curls. She wears a white lace veil decorated with miniature skulls, white roses, silver chains, and intricate black-and-white floral ornaments. Let the veil fall softly over her hair and shoulders, showing fine, translucent texture in the cool moonlight.
Dress her in a luxurious silver-white Gothic wedding gown made from layers of sheer tulle, intricate lace, silver embroidery, and fine beadwork. The fitted bodice has elegant transparent tulle sleeves, three-dimensional floral embroidery, delicate silver chains, and skull ornaments. The lightweight layered skirt spreads naturally around her in a full, dreamlike train. Interweave white roses with black-and-silver skull ornaments for a refined, mysterious dark-romantic look. Show realistic silk reflections, open lacework, and light passing through the tulle; avoid a plastic appearance.
Set the scene on an old Gothic castle street beneath a deep-blue night sky. Include soaring spires, stone arches, narrow windows, and old stone steps. A huge, bright full moon hangs above the castle. Cool blue moonlight passes through thin mist and outlines the castle. Vintage wrought-iron lanterns along the old street cast warm amber candlelight. Scatter white rose petals, skull ornaments, and antique candlesticks beside the steps. In the background, small, translucent white ghosts float lightly, while blue ghost flames and glowing butterflies drift through the air. Make the setting mysterious and Gothic yet charmingly fairy-tale-like, not bloody or gruesome.
Lighting:
- Use soft moonlight as the main light: cool, blue-tinged white light from the large full moon, coming from behind and above the subject to outline her veil, hair, shoulders, and skirt.
- Use gentle, low-intensity warm fill light from a vintage lantern in front of her so her face, eyes, and lips remain bright and detailed, without the cool moonlight draining the warmth from her skin.
- Let moonlight pass through the layered white tulle and lace, creating a silvery, translucent sheen that reveals the fabric’s layers and patterns.
- Let blue flames and glowing butterflies cast faint blue reflections on the skirt, stone steps, and parts of her hair.
- Give her silver necklace, earrings, chains, and skull hair ornaments small, precise cool-white highlights.
- Let moonlight passing through mist between the towers form soft volumetric beams and add depth to the scene.
- Preserve detail in the white gown, moon, and lanterns; avoid blown highlights. Keep depth in the dark-blue background and the subject’s face clear.
Use cinematic HDR with cool-warm contrast. Keep the image bright and dreamlike while retaining mysterious depth.
Composition and camera: Use a vertical 9:16 cinematic portrait. Center the subject in a slightly low-angle medium-close framing extending to a two-thirds-length view. Emphasize her face, veil, chest jewelry, and hand reaching toward the camera with perspective. Use blurred antique candlesticks and blue ghost flames in the foreground for depth of field; focus on the girl in the middle ground; show the full moon, Gothic castle, floating ghosts, and vintage lanterns in the background. Extend her hand naturally toward the camera for cinematic perspective, with correctly formed fingers and no exaggerated enlargement of the palm. Let the gown’s train and veil extend toward the bottom and sides of the frame to create sumptuous spatial layers.
Magical effects and details:
- Blue ghost flames have a translucent, flowing energy form.
- Glowing butterflies have translucent blue wings and delicate light particles.
- Small white ghosts float with soft, translucent, cloth-like outlines.
- White rose petals drift slowly, with realistic rotation and variation in depth of field.
- Show distinct material reflections for the lace, tulle, chains, and skull ornaments.
- Preserve the rough texture, damp reflections, and signs of age on the castle’s stone walls.
- Distribute glowing particles sparingly; do not obscure the subject’s eyes, facial features, or gown details.
Use silver-white, midnight blue, cool misty purple, and amber gold as the main colors, accented with ghostly blue light.

Negative instructions: Do not change the subject’s facial features; do not blur the face, create plastic skin, or apply exaggerated skin smoothing. Do not overexpose the wedding dress or render the moon as a featureless white shape. Do not make the background completely black or let blue light cover the entire face. Avoid deformed fingers, extra arms, skulls obscuring the face, excessive particles, cheap plastic-looking lace, cartoon styling, gore, gruesome horror, text, and watermarks.
Final goal: Create a cinematic poster with a moonlit Gothic fairy-tale atmosphere. The girl wears a silver-white lace wedding gown and a veil adorned with skulls and white roses, standing on a castle street beneath a full moon. Cool blue moonlight outlines the veil, warm golden lantern light softens her face, and blue ghost flames and glowing butterflies illuminate the night. The result should be a lavish, dreamlike, mysterious, refined, ultra-realistic visual.
