Clare and Adrian wanted a subtle, magical and fun Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland theme, that would have accents of country vintage and a touch of tartan to honour Adrian’s heritage in amongst the design.

Some key elements that brought out their design were:

 Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

• Homemade invitations, orders of service and table names using the character names and original Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland images
• Vintage teapots filled with flowers as table centres to give a hint from the Mad Hatter’s tea party
• Little notes on the teacups saying “Hide Me, Find Me” and “Eat Me”
• Little notes on the bottles of wine saying “Drink Me”
• Confetti in organza bags for guests with little notes saying “Throw Me”
• Homemade cupcakes in boxes for each guest “Everybody has won and all must have prizes”
• “Through the Looking Glass” style guest book, with a gilt frame, oversized White Rabbit and Mad Hatter hats and a Love Me Not teapot for guests to use as props

 

Country Vintage

• Vintage rose “Belle rose” was used throughout, a rose that shares the nickname given to Clare by her sister
• Flowers tied with ribbons hanging from the chandeliers
• Birdcages filled with flowers accompanied by baroque painted birds
• Vintage teacups filled with mini eggs to honour the Easter weekend
• Ornate silver table name holders with vintage Alice in Wonderland images printed on aged cream table name card
• Place names pegged to glasses with floral covered hearts, tulips and daisies
• Shabby Chic wire hearts to hold the table plan cards, hung with ribbon
• Rustic hog roast for dinner

 

Tartan

• Groom in his family tartan
• Biodegradable tartan heart confetti mixed in with rose petals
• The male buttonholes were accompanied by small tartan covered buttons
• Tartan ribbons tied to jam jars collected for tea lights and tied into the Bride and Bridesmaid bouquets
