It is getting hard to plan a wedding that really sticks out among the crowd these days, but it is still possible! If you want to choose a theme for your wedding versus just a plain old color scheme, I have an entire series of articles on wedding themes! This article focuses on an Alice in Wonderland wedding and covers everything from the invitations to the favors!

Although an Alice in Wonderland theme may sound a little childish, don't let the title fool you! This theme leads the way for an incredibly elegant and fancy wedding! When choosing color schemes, you'll have two that can go with. The first is whimsical pastels like blue/pink/green/yellow. The second caters more to the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland and is red/white/black. You might have an easier time finding all of the accessories for your wedding if you choose red/white/black, but the whimsical colors are more true to the fairy tale feeling.

If you choose the whimsical colors, your invitations can simply be based upon those colors. If you are willing to get your invitations custom made, you could also go with a "tea party" theme that the Mad Hatter would love! If you choose the red color scheme, there are plenty of playing card wedding invitations out there that would suit the Queen of Hearts.

Your dress is really left up to personal taste with this fanciful wedding theme. David's Bridal does have a wedding gown that I feel really captures the essence of the Alice And Wonderland Theme, though. It is style 9T9250 and a variety of color trims are available, so it could fit with either color scheme. The clothing for the rest of your wedding party can be simple and classic, or you can go crazy with the theme and have all the men wear top-hats like the Mad Hatter.

I think being original is what counts!

Alice in Wonderland is kind of creepy, I think.

I had a Fantasy Pagan themed wedding, on Halloween, everyone was in garb or costume. It was amazing! Anything a little unique is something special, and gives those who attend vivid memories!!!! ( 5 exclamation points)

What's with all the negative comments? I think that you've come up with some cute ideas. Nice suggestions, especially with the 'whimsical' theme.

Actually, I do somewhat take that back. This was after all published a few months ago. However, the idea is still pretty exhausted. How long has Alice in Wonderland been popular? Even so, I'd like to see what you could say or do about things that aren't so popular, and way more original.

I agree with Jordon NY, nice steal from People Magazine. This article is lame and unoriginal. Way to go.

I haven't even read through the first two paragraphs, and already I have a piece of advice that I hope you will use to improve your future articles. The first FIVE sentences of your article - that's one and a half paragraphs - end in exclamation points. There may be reason to put the exclamation point on one, possibly two, of the five, but there is no good reason to put the exclamation point after all five. The point of the mark - emphasis - is lost when you encounter MARK! after MARK! after MARK! Save the exclamation point for when it's really needed - and no more than one mark near the start of an article and one near the end (or, perhaps, one per page). I look forward to seeing your future work!

it does sound childish, but you may be onto something here.
