A storybook venue located only thirty-minutes outside of Central Florida, Tuscawilla Country Club portrays the perfect setting for a Mad Hatter Tea Party - themed wedding! So, it's only natural that a team of vendors would come together to showcase their talents via a whimsical styled shoot. Adding a twist to the idea - it's White Rabbit's turn to shine as our beautiful bride, thus stealing the spotlight away from the Queen of Hearts!
Tuscawilla Country Club offers the perfect venue for an intimate wedding with a gorgeous ballroom and a scenic golf course. Being able to start from scratch and turning this venue into a classic story was a dream for Artistic Alliance Collaborations. This theme truly came alive with the tablescape - nothing would look out of place at the Mad Hatter's Tea Party!
Alice and Mad Hatter's tea table was portrayed as the head table. The modern touches by C & E Event Rentals was exquisite, especially with the embellishment of the greenery table runner that serpentined around the details - complete with seeded eucalyptus and leatherleaf fern designed by Bliss Flower and Design Studio. An arrangement of Queen Anne's Lace, Spray Roses, Stock, Celosia, Astilbe, Hypericum, Kalanchoe and Seeded Eucalyptus pared beautifully and was placed at the center of the tea table.
Cheshire Cat and White Rabbit's table was portrayed as guest tables. An eclectic mix of clocks, vintage teacups, patterned china and a beautiful center piece that complimented the theme and venue containing Hydrangeas, Kalanchoes, Polo Roses, Queen Anne's Lace, Spray Roses, Stock, Celosias, Astilbe, Hypericums and Seeded Eucalyptus. The model portraying as our White Rabbit donned a diamond necklace - pulling her gorgeous dress named 'Octavia' by Vera Wang (an ivory strapless sweetheart ball gown with a hand-gathered tulle bodice and ruched tulle technique overlay - lent by The Collection Bridal) as the perfect bride!
The Queen of Heart's was iconically placed at the head of the dessert table - with white roses turning red and leading to her two-tiered cake designed by Cut The Cake (it's all about her, remember?!). Several additional unique sweet treats were scattered along the dessert table designed by Rose Hill Cakes. Several signs appear on treats proclaiming, 'Eat Me' and 'Drink Me,' in a nod to the classic book and movies.
All models that made this theme come to life were flawlessly styled by Simply Stunning You Beauty and Top Knot Artistry for hair and makeup. Their gowns were provided by The Collection Bridal and their accessories were provided by a jeweler who would like to remain anonymous.
