Such a fun idea for some wedding inspiration today from the lovely Kay English. She dreamt up this fun Willy Wonka inspired wedding shoot for me to share with you all today! Such a fun whimsical movie to pull inspiration from – and especially perfect for those of you who love sweets! :) The invitation was sent out as a golden ticket just like in the movie…
Pretty sparkly shoes from ModCloth!
Yep, an actual edible chocolate bouquet! How yummy!! :) Created by Michelle at MDS Floral Designs.
Another edible bouquet! The lovely wedding dress is by Sarah Seven. It was customized with a purple belt from Bridal Shoppe (they have belts in lots of colors if you are looking to add a bit of color to your dress!)
A chocolate cake with gold cake pop accents by the Hudson Cakery. And check out the custom candy cake base :)
Yes, that is a real gummy bear – it weighs 5 lbs!! :)
Pretty hairpiece by the lovely Lo of Lo Boheme. The favors are cakes in a jar from Tookies Etsy Shop. You can purchase this favor here – it’s made from scratch Red Velvet Chocolate cake with moist vanilla cake (disguised in purple) layered with our creamy chocolate ganache, ready to eat in a mason jar.
Thanks so much to all these talented vendors for sharing their creativity with us today!

AHH! This is SO STINKING CUTE. I love Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and this is such an adorable shoot that completely embodies the book. So fun and lighthearted! I especially love the “golden ticket” invite. Great job!
What a fun photo shoot!
so much fun!!
Love this! What a fun idea, and that chocolate bouquet … yum!
Thank you so so much for publishing our shoot and for everyone involved in the shoot including MDS, Sarah Seven, Lo Boheme, and the Hudson Cakery! God bless, Kay
Where in the world can I find those booties!! I am in serious love with them and they don’t seem to be on ModCloth anymore. =(
I think these pictures are absolutely phenomenal! I wish this was my wedding. Not only were the design ideas outstanding and fun but the photographic techniques were interesting and gave a real life perspective. Looking through these photos made me feel as though I was standing there, watching these two amazing people on their very special day. Good Job Kaycee!
unbelievably unbelievable … if there is such a thing … in Willy Wonka land, there surely must be :)
Wow, just absolutely fabulous and fun!! Kay did a phenomenal job with this very unique and cool wedding!
WOWZA!!! What a gorgeous yummy yummy yummy photoshoot! :) I just love all the gorgeous colours and sweets of course. What a fab idea x
Marla and I had a super fun time working with you, Kay! Thanks so much for the amazing photos, and congratulations on being featured here. You really did an incredible job on these.
Im obsessed with this! so dreamy!
What an awesome set of images. Love the vibrant colors and the connection between the couple.
so cute! love the ring pop and the groom floating away on balloons! I wish everyone had this much FUN with their wedding!
This pictures are absolutely amazing!! Incredible job to all involved, especially Kay English who captured every detail so beautifully!
So sweet and yummy! I love this and the styling is just gorgeous.
This is one of the most creative and unique ideas I have seen in some time. The invitation alone made me smile, and my smile grew as I saw a 5 pound Gummy Bear and an edible bouquet. What an incredible concept. The photography is exquisite. Should the day ever come when I get married, I can look forward to wonderfully directed photography and (I can only assume) consummate professionalism from Kay English.
I wonder if she’ll do a Transformer theme …
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! love the balloon jump!!!! all of them are great K!
I love these pictures! They are stunning. The colors and the ideas are awesome! I love the edible items, except I would eat them all before the guests would come :)
Wow! What an amazing wedding! I work a bridal magazine in the UK and we never see such creativity. Love, love, love it!

GASP! I love this theme! Thank you so much for sharing. I bet she tried to keep the chocolate bouquet out of the sun. wow!
Unreal!! So whimsical, dreamy, and just down right FUN! Leave it to Kay to make this look so perfect. She always knows how to find the right light and evoke the perfect emotion from her clients. She is a true talent in this industry and she should have more workshops to share this gift with others! SUPER SWEET KAY!!

I hardly ever comment on things, but seriously, this is the most unique and amazing wedding shoot I have seen. Down to every edible detail, this is inspired. An edible bouquet? The little Good and Plentys surronding the base of the cake? This took some WORK and its great!
