Our Halloween features continue on this dark + festive day! Frankenstein and his Bride aren’t the only two stealing the moonlight, for another creepy couple is looking to join the ranks of holy matrimony—dead or alive! Jack Skellington and his darling Sally hail from Halloween Town where, of all the ghosts, ghouls, and goblins, these two chose each other. Our iteration of Jack + Sally wed at the fantastically spooky Asylum Chapel in East London, with design + planning by Kayleigh Keen and Valentina from The Stars Inside.
We’re excited to share this re-imagined wedding of J + S on the 25th anniversary of Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas! Chloe Lee Photography captured all the details as the lovers promised to love one another ’til death…and beyond!
Soulmates in Life + Death
Sally’s lovely red locks were pinned up by oddities and romantic curls from Love Your Hair Cassandra.
Ceremony by Moonlight
What’s this? It’s a superbly spooky backdrop from Vowed and Amazed, which looks brilliant in the dilapidated hall!
An alter fit for a Pumpkin King + his queen!
Lovers’ Feast
The mismatched chairs from Purple Door Props paired perfectly with a sultry red runner from Pom Pom Blossom. (PS: Notice the Christmas baubles on the tree! Such a clever touch.)
Ooooh, this menu by Betty Lou Design is a sight!
A Sweet Display
The florals from Lily Lupin Floral Design were rich in autumnal colors, creating a truly magical suspended cake installation!
Obsessed with this black cake by Malarkey Cakes! (We truly love chic black cakes, as you can see here.)
Jack + Sally: The Undead Newlyweds
Sally wore two dresses by Audrey Ashley Couture, while Jack’s burgundy wool suit from ASOS was a fun departure from his usual black and white!
Jack’s ever-faithful pup, Zero, had to make an appearance!
Pumpkin Queen, indeed, with that regal headpiece by Hermione Harbutt.
Honestly, how fun is this?! For more, Wild Heart Films created a behind-the-scenes look into what brought the undead day to life:
Happy Halloween from all of us at GWS!
