The photo series starring a dark Meluxine by Peter Coulson is hauntingly beautiful. Shot completely in black and white, the model is given a ghostly glamor that makes her look like the title character from Tim Burton's animated film, 'Corpse Bride.' Since the main fashion pieces happen to be four draping vintage veils, Meluxine's ensembles are like updated versions of a child's ghost costume for Halloween, which involved a white bed sheet and a pair of scissors.
Australian bridal shop Montage outfitted the entire photo series. The chosen wedding gown is 150-years-old, adding to the illusion that the bride has been long dead. Shot against a crumbling industrial backdrop, the photo shoot is full of classic and urban character.
