So here is a bit more Alice in Wonderland goodness from the Momental Girls. I love creating a frame look of sorts, combining various artwork elements. Here Alice herself, hearts, vines and even umbrellas all came together to create a whimsical frame of hand painted artwork. Have I also mentioned the color palette here is perfect with a soft blue balanced by whites and bold red!
Wendy’s sweet design was inspired specifically by the new Alice in Wonderland movie. Our amazing Jessica is the artist behind this invitation and I just love what she created!
As I mentioned yesterday, I have yet to see the new movie. The imagery in these posters is quite enough to excite me even more and I just can’t wait for the weekend! I love the contrast of soft, feminine colors with dark, foreboding imagery in each. I feel a new project coming on!

I must admit, I have yet to see the new Alice in Wonderland movie, but from all the chatter I have heard I am becoming increasingly intrigued and think perhaps I have my weekend plans set! For the last year or so, we have seen an increase in requests for designs inspired by the Lewis Carroll stories, that really started it all. The design we created for Steven last year began our personal Alice Craze and it hasn’t slowed down yet!
This two part post will give you a better look at the designs I and the Momental Girls have had the pleasure of creating, solely centered upon one very important theme – the drama and beauty of the Alice in Wonderland story.
Each table was named after a different character of course and featured our watercolor interpretations of the beloved originals.
The invitations were inspired by our Vintage Lacy Tree Collection since so many of the original illustration featured trees of some kind.
Our watercolor interpretations of Alice In Wonderland found their way into every nook and cranny of this wedding invitation design.

The simple magic and mystery that surrounds the Alice in Wonderland story makes perfect inspiration for a wedding celebration. After scouring online I am fascinated to find Alice is inspiring everyone from iconic photographers and artists to wedding creatives.
Su Blackwell’s Book-Cut sculptures blew me away with her intricate details and organic, precisie sensibility. The blooming gaden Book-Cut on the left subtly harks to the soft, watercolor style of the illustrations seen in John Tennial’s originals.
Check back tomorrow for a look at more Alice inspired creations from the Momental Girls!

Each bloom is crafted from watercolor painted papers, feather thin rice papers, vintage hankies and broaches.
Here I love the bold red bloom contrasted by the sleek black silk box. The woody vines were a great find in Scranton, PA, where we found an old brick building practically cocooned in these vines. Just gorgeous.
