Alice in Wonderland-Inspired Wedding Stationery

Lewis Carroll’s classic story about Alice’s adventures once she tumbles down the rabbit hole always seems to inspire winsome weddings full of tea parties, red roses and sweet, whimsical style.

Maybe it’s the creative imagery and pure magic of the story that everyone loves so much, or maybe the idea of letting yourself fall into a new life full of adventure that makes it perfect for a wedding.

Create Your Own Happily Ever After!

I found this adorable idea on Brooklyn Bride this morning. The groom, Andrew, wrote this book when he was six years old, and his mom luckily had it stashed away somewhere.

When he and Jami got engaged, the pair combined the classic childhood story with engagement photos to prove that little Andrew was part psychic, part storyteller back in the day.

They used their story as an engagement part invitation, but we think it would be a fantastic idea for wedding favors, a slide show or even a photo book.

Here are just a few pages. You can see more at Brooklyn Bride. So cute!

Rant or Rave: Embarassing Proposals

Friday, July 31st, 2009

When we hosted our engagement story contest, we read through hundreds of funny, charming and sweet engagement stories from excited couples looking forward to their nuptials. Each one had its own style, and we loved reading all of the proposals.

The only problem was that some of them were downright embarrassing!

From naked proposals to public displays, some engagement stories cross the line from beautiful to blush-worthy. This man rented out a movie theater, hired a group of faux audience members and showed this video of himself singing Daniel Beddingfield’s “If Your Not the One” in his underwear as his special way to propose.

Do you love it or hate it? She said yes, but would you be more prone to cry with joy or die of embarrassment? Do embarrassing proposals make you want to rant or rave?
