Queen Tut Events & Design used this phenomenal Mad Hatter Bridal Tea Party theme to celebrate the special bride to be in a fresh and elegant manner.  Bringing a contemporary touch to the the childhood classic, Alice in Wonderland, this tea party was definitely a smashing success.

Rather than using a rainbow of colors, singular vibrant tones were used to on black and white bases to really draw the eye.  One fantastically unique bit of decor included a headboard being used as a backdrop to a lovely table.  Set against a brilliantly yellow wall, the black and white details of the headboard really popped.  The table used for this section was a wonderful black and white marbled wonder that gave a sophisticated touch.  Set on it, all sorts of lovely decorations added to the Mad Hatter look like an ornate frame with an adorable little bit of writing rather than traditional artwork.  Tall candlesticks held cute details like a yellow and white mushroom to blend with the theme perfectly.  The choices offered at this table included delicious looking mimosas for the guests to enjoy.  

The guest seating was immaculately done with rectangle tables decorated smoothly.  White tablecloths set the stage for a lovely sprinkle of deep red color that was displayed through gorgeous bouquets of roses and fun playing cards.  For an added Alice in Wonderland touch, the adorable glasses were tagged with “Drink Me.” Another decoration that really added to the theme were red and white mushrooms.

Outside to welcome the guests to this fun gathering a large sign was created that previewed the theme spectacularly.  Arrows pointing in all directions were labeled with fun phrases emphasized the Mad Hatter way perfectly. Each was lined in bright red, adding a touch of color.

With a flair of gothic beauty, this Tim Burton Inspired Bridal Shower was a unique choice for a celebration, ensuring that it would be memorable for all.  Created by the wonderful Paula of 14 & Hudson, the details of this event were absolutely stunning.

Right off the bat a circular table was set-up for the guests to leave well-wishes for the bride to be.  A white cloth set the stage for a fantastic vintage cage holding branches in varying sizes and a red ribbon for a touch of color.  A sign announced what the table was for framed in a black color for a dramatic effect.  Cards offers to write advice on had neat bird clip art and a parchment quality.

A bubbly bar offered the guests delicious beverage choices in a stylish fashion.  A backdrop of pinwheels in deep, purple, black, white, and silver tones were arranged in a neat display to draw the eye.  This table was covered in black, with a fun silver banner advertising the Bubble Bar.  Purple flowers in large vases added a royal splash of color to this table.

To hit the sweet spot, a table was arranged with delicious candies and treats for the visitors to enjoy.  Purple boxes lined each side so the guests could grab what they wanted easily.  The sign advertising this table was framed in a simple black style, but the sign itself had a wonderful curly artwork border that made it stand out. Treats were placed in all sorts of different dishes, giving a unique look.  Lollipops made a fun centerpiece standing tall in a large black bucket filled with greenery and surrounded by yummy looking cupcakes.  For a fun decorative touch, tulle poms were hung on a strand of lights across the back of the table adding to the theme perfectly.

Celebrating love with elegance, friends and family was just the way to go with this fantastic Kate Spade Themed Shower.  Tera Hare designed a fabulous event for bride-to-be Alexa using a blend of gold, creme, pink, black and white tones.  

Using a favorite restaurant as a venue, the bride-to-be was sure to be comfortable at this party, along with her favorite people.  

A lovely table was set-up to hold the tasty treats at this party with unique touches that made it one-of-a-kind.  Using giant, golden, mylar balloons, XO was the centerpiece to the backdrop, giving everyone a sense of sweetness as they grabbed a snack.  The table was covered with black allowing all the colors of the food to stand out remarkably.  Adorable little candle holders in light pink were used to add a bit of elegance to the table.  One beautiful idea used to accent the balloon backdrop was a row of coffee mugs that spelled out love.  Each mug was filled with sweet pink and green flowers.  To finish off that bit of decor a sprinkle of heart confetti was spread on the table.

A yummy cake was perfectly frosted in white flowers and topped with glittering gold letters spelling out, “I do” in a smooth, cursive font.  Behind it a clipboard was casually displayed that encourage everyone to “Eat cake for breakfast”, a delicious notion for sure!

Thank you boxes were set on a little table with personalized labels that matched the theme beautifully.  Each box had a lovely finishing white ribbon tied around it.

A favorite idea from this party was actually a monitor set on the gift table that ran a slideshow of the bride and groom-to-be with friends and family, showing their own little love story.  This party was an excellent example of how to celebrate impending nuptials in style.
