Wedding Inspiration from the Movies: Alice in Wonderland

With the week of movie posts, and the much anticipated Tim Burton's version of Alice In Wonderland opening today, I of course had to do a post on wedding ideas from Alice in Wonderland! I'm sure we will see some nominations for this film at the Oscars next year. I can't wait to see the movie this weekend, so here are some fun + creative ideas you could use for your wedding.

A gorgeous blue ruffled wedding dress, quirky groomsmen, and cute little flower girls. I picture the ceremony near cherry blossoms, with a fun clock necklace. Empty frames line the aisle and a white rabbit on the invitations to announce the date.

After the ceremony a fun, whimsical tea party! Mismatched chairs, lots of clocks and mismatched plates and cups. Little sandwiches, desserts, and yummy tea. I kind of love the idea of a huge blue bow for the bride.

And mushrooms! So many fun ideas you could do with them. I love the mushrooms on the cake below or just scattered throughout the wedding as a common theme. (Oh, and I don't think you can have a post for this movie with no picture of Johnny Depp! :)

I totally think this could work great for a bridal shower also and turns out I'm not the only one. Check out this super fun Alice inspired bridal shower featured on The Wedding Chicks yesterday.

The hubby and I are planning to see Alice in Wonderland in 3D this weekend, then we have the Oscar's Red Carpet to watch on Sunday mixed in with lots of work on the new site! Fun and busy weekend. Anyone else planning to see Alice this weekend and/or excited to see all the fashion on Sunday?

Also, if you are in the LA area, there is a cool event going on at the Royal/T Cafe all through March - Alice in Wonderland High Tea with Playing Cards Tea Sandwiches, 'Eat Me' Cupcakes, 'Drink Me' Special Royal/T Green Milk Tea blend, and Deep Purple Macaroons! And if you need some music inspiration today, you can listen to the full album preview of Almost Alice here. Music inspired by the movie from Metro Station, Owl City, All-American Rejects, Robert Smith and lots more. I listened to it while collecting images for this post and loved it. Happy Friday!
