Nightmares, corpse brides, and shrunken heads: Let's pay homage to Tim Burton weddings

Inspired by Neil Gaiman's Coraline and Laika's movie version, this Coraline wedding inspiration shoot takes on the color palette and tone beautifully. Think a Victorian venue, vibrant tablescapes, and lush floral decor.
In the story, Coraline and her family lived in a grand Victorian apartment called the Pink Palace. They chose the Pinney House, a fully restored historic Victorian hotel in Sierra Madre, as the killer backdrop. Just wait until you see the three-tiered ombré blue to purple and gold cake. Oh, and don't miss the naked chocolate ganache groom's cake. Our other fave elements included the button sugar cookies, vintage mini Singer sewing machine, specialty floral table linens, button place cards, and 3D printed skeleton key. It's our Coraline dream wedding!

Not gonna lie, Coraline freaks me the hell out! I do not like dolls and the movie did not help with that fear at all. That being said, this shoot is GORGEOUS and totally not scary. The details are so well placed and subtle and everything ties in so nicely together.
The color of the tablecloth reflected the green and grassy environment well. It’s very grand and beautiful !!
