# Whimsical Chocoholic Nuptials Kay English's Willy Wonka-Inspired Wedding Shoot is for Sweet Tooths By Carly Foy | Published 2011-09-12 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kay-english References: [greenweddingshoes](http://greenweddingshoes.com/a-willy-wonka-inspired-wedding-shoot/) & [kayenglishphotography](http://www.kayenglishphotography.com/) Kay English, a well-known wedding photographer, took inspiration from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory to conceive, execute and style a confectionary wedding. The photographer focused on using a palette of bright purple that was seen cohesively throughout the staged shoot. Kay English also incorporated edible accessories and decor. The bride carried two bouquets, one made of chocolate and the other made of purple rock candy (both were integrated with flowers). The tables were adorned with jars of sprinkles, gumballs and giant swirl lollipops that popped against the patterned tablecloths. The groom paid tribute to Mr. Wonka with his purple top hat, suspenders and cane. Of course, no Wonka-inspired wedding would be complete without a wedding invite to mimic the infamous Golden Ticket. Kay English's Willy Wonka vision was delivered perfectly and satisfies sweet tooths. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Romance](https://www.trendhunter.com/romance) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Whimsical Wedding Themes:** The trend of incorporating unique and playful themes into weddings presents opportunities for wedding planners, decorators, and vendors to create memorable and personalized experiences. - **Edible Decor and Accessories:** The trend of using edible items as decor, accessories, and even bouquets opens up new business opportunities for confectioners, caterers, and event planners who can create customized and delicious displays. - **Immersive Wedding Experiences:** The trend of creating immersive and themed wedding experiences, like the Willy Wonka-inspired shoot, presents opportunities for event designers, artists, and entertainers to bring unique and interactive elements to weddings. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Wedding Planning:** The wedding planning industry can capitalize on the trend of whimsical wedding themes by offering creative planning services, unique decor options, and customized experiences. - **Confectionery:** The confectionery industry can benefit from the trend of edible decor and accessories by creating specialized products for weddings, such as edible bouquets, customized chocolates, and themed dessert displays. - **Event Design and Entertainment:** The event design and entertainment industry can tap into the trend of immersive wedding experiences by providing themed decorations, interactive installations, and memorable performances that elevate the overall wedding experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mobile Weenie Wedding Chapels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-wedding-chapel.md) - [Magical Chocolatier Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonka-inspired-menu.md) - [Dairytale Bridal Tributes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1.md) - [Vegas-Themed Wedding Packages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegasthemed-wedding-package.md) - [Football Match Weddings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/own-goal.md) - [Whimsical Chocolatier Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonka-cookie.md) - [Branded Free Wedding Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/get-married-at-serendipity3.md) - [Wedding Crasher Weddings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-crasher-wedding.md) - [Newlywed Pancake Giveaways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-pancakes.md)
