Everyone seems to be abuzz about the new Tim Burton film, Alice in Wonderland.  Due to open this week, the film has already inspired:

We predict many weddings and celebrations in the coming year will be inspired by the whimsy and vibrancy of this charming tale. Here are just a few examples of how this classic novel and modern film could make an appearance in your event.

Sweet Dreams

by Elizabeth Duncan

Last Month I had the incredible opportunity to channel my inner Amy Atlas and design and produce a fabulous dessert bar for one of my wedding clients. Of course, we had a huge advantage in that the mother of the bride owns a local bakery and put herself and her staff at the whim of our creativity. We took our inspiration from several places, including pictures we found in magazines and on blogs, the bride’s navy, yellow and white color palette and subtle nautical motif, the quilted butter yellow linens we had chosen for the dinner tables and, of course, the favorite confections of the bride and groom. The final display was beautiful, whimsical and delicious!

Some of the inspirations for the dessert bar:
