Whether you’re obsessed with the eerie elegance of Murder House, the vintage vibes of Hotel, or the witchy aesthetic of Coven, this theme brings a perfect blend of spooky and sophisticated. Think dramatic florals, moody lighting, and touches of the macabre—all while keeping things stylish and oh-so memorable.

Here’s what Electric Joy Ceremonies told us about this American Horror Story wedding inspiration:Â
“First and foremost, I’m a massive AHS fan, with ‘The Coven’ and ‘The Hotel’ right up there in my top five seasons. When thinking about these two specifically, I always refer back to the memorable aesthetics, striking visuals, and the feeling they left me with.
The venue for our shoot was at the extraordinary Cosy Club in Nottingham. We drew on the art deco feel of the venue and combined this with some of the darker elements of ‘The Coven’ series to achieve this elegant yet gothic vibe. From striking imagery on the grand staircase to more ‘Salem’ inspired elements with potion bottles and skulls, this shoot drew upon a more timeless and historic goth vibe, married with modern elements to achieve an elegant but darker wedding aesthetic.”
