Apr08 Queen of Hearts 2010

This Queen of Hearts Inspiration Shoot was sent over to me by Mai Hoang of Bunch Studio. They had an incredible team working on this shoot, with photography by Adrienne Gunde and coordination by Olivia Wu of Zoie Events.

What’s amazing is that the Alice in Wonderland concept can spawn so many incredibly different ideas. It really goes to show how endless the possibilities really are! I really love that this team used that bright red Queen of Hearts idea. I adore the bride’s necklace and am blown away by the over-sized chess pawns they found for the table! Killer!

    The red is positively to DIE for! And of course I love anything with Alice-themed!

  • Canada flowers delivery on April 09, 2010

    Very Lewis Caroll! Also, this is one of the few that roses were used really well and in a novel way. Kind of feels like the entire ensemble is ripped straight out of Jane Austen’s world. The photos are telling on that fact.

  • forget.me.knot.weddings on April 11, 2010

    Love the glamour and the bride’s look!

    Wow. I love the bold colors and the dramatic effect. I love the one of the couple sitting on the floor surrounded by ivory leaves. Plus the profile of the bride looking at her bouquet – she definitely looks like a queen!

  • Jaclyne - Heavenly Blooms on May 14, 2010

    Oh. Em. Gee. How did I not see this before? I almost fell off of my seat. I love the unexpected twist on this Alice in Wonderland trend. The cake… the flowers.. the painted peacock feather in her hair, the colors – BEAUTIFUL!

    How Magical!!! I love that she choose the Queen of Hearts rather than Alice…she so much more fun!
