Wonderland Wedding

I'm getting down to the crunch now....46 days until the wonderland wedding! We wanted it to be slightly themed but not extremely cartoony. We were hoping the guests would notice the slight touches of wonderland but still have an elegant party. I'm asking for any last minute suggestions or where I may be able to find some extra photo props (things on sticks) since I have a large bridal party. Here's how things are shaping up so far.

Venue- Since the weather is so unpredictable we opted out of a garden tea party and instead went for a turn of the century mansion. http://crystalplaza.com/

Photo props- For our bridal party we have some picture props! I am still looking for more if any one can point me in the right direction. Some chesire, hatter, and white rabbit props , the tweedles, and some of the queen's cards. I could use more of these though as I have up to twenty people so I'd love links or ideas!

The place cards will be alice themed and will be in tiny topiaries that look like the queen of hearts trees that the guests can take. tree holders

The reception colors ore whisical hot pink and green. We have, tall, flower arrangements to make things seems flowery and the little gel gems inside will glow. Some of the flowers are unusual for weddings but they add to the whimsical feel.

At the cocktail and venetian hour there will be Eat Me party picks in the finger food with hot pink bows to match the colors. eat me tags

When guests sit, the glass of champagne will have a drink me tag around the bottom to match the eat me tags.

A student of Lou's designed our table numbers in alice themes using different sceneries and characters for each table. I will try to upload later- it won't seem to allow it now.

The room will be lit up with pink uplighting after the first dances

Our favors are customized playing cards.

When guests check into the hotel they will also receive one of these inviting them to breakfast the next morning for our very merry post wedding breakfast ticket

Anyway, I'm looking for other suggestions! Or especially more photo prop suggestions! I will try and upload the table numbers later as the kids from his high school did a wonderful job with photoshop

46 days!?!?!? That's like no time! Congrats!

That venue looks amazing! I bet it will be even better than having it outdoors. My friend had an outdoor wedding and the weather was threatening all day. It was very stressful (and humid).

We went into NYC to look at our wedding bands today before having them shipped to Jersey (bc NY sales tax is nuts and we don't pay it if they get shipped! woo!) They were great! They aren't Alice themed but they are Disney themed. Since he is a math teacher and toy story was the first disney movie we watched together his says to infinity and mine says and beyond! Super excited!

I'm so bummed we can't go to Aulani but we start school the week after it opens! I think parents may be a little mad if their kids had a substitute the first week of school! biggrin Would have been nice though!

I adore that!!!!!

Here is that wedding I was talking about..look how insane it is! It took me awhile to figure out that it is the same bride and groom in each picture..she has about 4 different dresses.

Hey! It was Friday and it was MAGICAL! Everything went flawlessly and we had the most wonderful time! I am off to Hawaii tomorrow (and am staying about 10 miles from Aulani so I will TRY and sneak over and snag a pic or two if I am allowed!) I will be back in two weeks with photos and finally, free time to answer some of these posts! I keep missing everything going on here with being so busy.

Hope anyone heading to Disney in the next two weeks has a wonderful trip since I won't be able to wish you well unless the hotel lets me use internet for free silly
