Alice got her wonderland...and her man...

My my, now thats what I call a wedding. But I'm exhausted on your behalf though! I love all the photos, but that one of the feet and the terrier in a dress is the best! :)) congratulations everyone, and what a brilliant day! Beautiful bride too...and handsome son :)

Thank you. It's taken a week to recover but it's mostly sorted now. The dogs behaved amazingly well Karen...but Paris did not like that dress...lol

Wow, all the hard work paid off! The mother of the bride outfit is amazing! And that caterpillar! Hope you were feeling fit again and able to enjoy it all properly. How did Cyanne manage to match the boots with the border of her dress? Amazing.

That's wonderful...Great Memories. Congratulations to Bride and Groom!

The most beautiful thing about this absolutely fantastic wedding is how both families brought their creativity and hard work to make this happen. Looking at how this was put together and the end result truly proves what was said by the Cheshire Cat..." Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality." My very best wishes to the Bride and Groom.

Stera the mother of the bride blew us all away with her outfit...and her catering skills. Off to the chiropractor again today. 8 weeks and counting!
Thanks Bathgate
Loosestrife that's my favourite quote from the book too....and so apt as Cyannes imagination led us all the way.

What a fantastic wedding. Congrats to the very happy and good looking couple but also to you all for making it a reality. I love all the detail, Alice's flowery border matching her boots matching Paul's shirt. The long table with the brown drape which set of all your flowering cacti and plants so beautifully. Those echiums still worked even non painted. Been homing in trying to get a better view of all the plants you used there. The billowing loaf!! The 3 little Alices. The sunshine! Everybody looking really happy. Paul and dog both besuited, striding out together!
Those dogs, hilarious ? And Alice with her caterpillar all finished and stunning. Love that last table shot! Soo much to look back on. Back to earth now -minus the adrenaline!- and chiros. Hope your back's still good after all that pointing you had to do ?. Good to see you resisted climbing on chairs and overdoing it, tempting as it must've been to do 'just' that bit!

Congratulations to the bride and groom, and everyone who helped make it such a wonderful and unique wedding :o) x

Absolutely fantastic Sandra in every single way! The caterpillar is my favourite!
What an amazing way to tie the knot. And , such a family affair with all the organising! brilliant....made my day, reading this. I would've loved to have been there as my Mad Hatter character .

Resi I loved being able to use foliage from the garden in the arrangements. In with the echiums went six foot cardoons some rhododendron branches and some giant hydrangea flowers from a neighbour. As for the sciatica I'm off to the chiro again today and praying she can sort it this time.
Thanks Hywel
Paul glad you liked it.....you would have made a good addition as the mad hatter. the catterpillar was the star of the day. Cyanne and my OH Julian bonded while building it, they just seemed to understand the whole thing from the start. It even had smoke coming from the hookah pipe at one point.

Simply lovely xxx. ?

Absolutely amazing how well you all did to produce such a spectacle for your amazing family wedding. Everyone did so well. Love all the outfits, pleased it stayed fine for you also. Love it all but that caterpillar is amazing hope he is staying in your garden for ever and ever. lol. what fantastic memories. :O)

congrats to the happy couple
and well done for a fantastic wonderland venue.

Congratulations! All the work and planning paid off. So many lovely memories...
Hope the chiro can help with the sciatica. x

Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant. What a wonderful wedding it must have been. Wishing the happy couple, Life Long Love, Happiness and Good Health x

Many congratulations to the happy couple. What a fantastic wedding with so much imagination used to it's best advantage. I loved the fact that Cyanne's boots matched her gorgeous dress. The mother of the bride outfit was a knockout! The clipped grass sprinkled with petals down the aisle is a beautiful a touch, and finally that caterpillar! ...what can I say...just wish I could be around when he turned into a butterfly lol!

Truly brilliant and fun wedding. Congratulation to all.
Thanks for sharing these pictures which made me smile.

Thank you all for your lovely comments. I will pass them on to the happy couple.
Waddy I think the next creation will have to be the catterpillars butterfly!

That would be amazing Sandra! :)

Sounds like a plan Sandra!

Excellent Sandra, I admire your style. ?

OH MY !!!!
Sandra you certainly know how to do things your own way in your family, its all absolutely lovely and what makes it extra special is the fact that you all took part before and on the day, even the little dogs, Dexter looks so handsome in his suit and Paris is taking it all very seriously isn't she, looking as though she is listening to every word, lol, everything and everyone looks stunning, you all captured the storyline perfectly, I love the caterpillar, the mini Alice's, in fact everything, Cyannes mum looks very regal, if one can say that about the Queen of Hearts, lol, a lot of work and planning and honestly I do not think you could have picked a better venue to go with the Alice theme, so much of what you grow and have worked hard to create at Corside all included in the setting and judging by the happy faces everyone was enjoying it all, the weather played its part as well...
..Beautiful photo's Sandra, thankyou for sharing what must have been a magical day not only for the happy couple but for all of you..
I wish David and Cyanne every Happiness for their Future.....

Wow, now that is what I call a wedding!!! Years ago my girls were bridesmaids for 2 weddings only a fortnight apart. The 1st wedding was a very formal a fair and we all had to be very proper, the 2nd was very informal and we all had a great time, so much more enjoyable then the 1st for everyone. Your sons wedding in my book is the 2nd!!! What you all achieved as a family looks wonderful. Congratulations to you all and I wish the happy couple a happy life together.

Wow how hard did you all work, and it was a fantastic family affair. I loved it,its one of the best Weddings I have ever seen, Congratulations to the happy couple.

David and Cyanne love all your comments and now there seems to be a butterfly plan hatching...it will have to wait a while as we are still packing up from this plan...?
