Daisy: What kind of a garden do you come from?
Alice: Oh, I don’t come from any garden.
Daisy: Do you suppose she’s a wildflower?
-Alice In Wonderland
We have fallen {down the rabbit hole} in love with this whimsical, vintage-styled fashion shoot from the lovely grounds of Missouri’s Longview Mansion, so exquisitely captured by Alea Lovely Fine Art Photographer. The bride looked fit for a romantic storybook wedding in layers of luscious ecru tulle and long tousled locks. So chic, we recently featured colored gowns. Fresh roses and natural accents, beautifully arranged by Victorian Gardens, looked charming in eclectic vintage canisters and vases. The {let’s eat cake} signage was also a playful twist. We adore this nod to Alice in Wonderland and have hand-selected several talented Chicago wedding vendors to recreate this trend-setting look for you. See our recommendations below and enjoy your own storybook soiree!
