There are many common objects that are easily associated with Alice in Wonderland by most people.

While these objects are simple when we think of them on their own, they bring powerful images when used together in a specific context. Here’s an example. Try to envision a pocket watch.

Ok, nothing exciting there.

Now imagine a vintage tea set, you know the one with gold ornements, delicate roses hand painted on it and the fancy handle. Add to those 2 ideas a dinner table set in the wood and I’m pretty sure an Alice in Wonderland image will start to form in your mind.

The following list of words represents the ideas and concepts that are found in the book.

Vintage Key:

A symbolic key to enter in Alice’s Wonderland! Use these as favors for your guests, as decor elements scattered on the tables or as part of the centerpieces.

To make a vintage key favor as useful as they are appealing to the eye, they can be picked to serve a functional purpose.

Here are some ideas:

Tie one of these bronze ornated key bottle opener to a homemade brew or to your guests favors bags.

Attach them with a floral lace ribbon to a tree to emphasize the playful and eccentric spirit that made the book famous.

You can also use them as place card holders to make your tables look stylish and inviting

Display your vintage key is to use them to create an unusual seating chart by adding a name tag to the key.

As you can see this object can be featured in many amazing ways to amuse your guests!

Old Clocks:

Time is a crazy notion in Alice’s Wonderland. Why not make use of this object to make the wedding party lively and festive.

Oversized clock, deformed clock shapes, and even a clock with multiple hands!

All of these will contribute to making the theme come to life as the guests will enjoy themselves looking around in search of more surprising details.

More specifically, you can add a pocket watch to the groom’s boutonniere and the bridal bouquet.

Also, instead of using a regular pillow to carry the wedding rings, use an elegant pocket watch case as a ring holder.

Antique Book Covers:

These are great as they come in many sizes and provide an antique mythical look to any decor.

I especially like the idea of using them as table centerpieces.

Pile 2 or 3 of them horizontally with a hurricane candle holder or an antique lantern on top of them. Complete the centerpiece by adding a mercury glass style votive holder alongside the piled books.

For the final touch display different size glass containers filled with colored sand. Another way to decorate them is using feather quill or white and red roses to continue on the main theme.

Old books can be found in antique shops or on flea markets at low cost.

Want a vintage looking favor box for your guests? These antique book looking boxes are just the perfect thing.

Red Roses:

They hold a special place in the story. I’m going to make a long story short. In the novel, the gardeners are painting white roses near the entrance of the garden. In reality, they are attempting to hide that they planted a white rose tree by mistake.

Since roses are a symbol of love and passion, these can easily be used in your wedding decor. Also, many merchants sell props that you use as a backdrop or hang in from the ceiling to make a stunning visual impact.

If you’re not fond of fresh flowers or simply don’t want any flowers in your centerpiece, paper flowers are also a great alternative especially gigantic flowers.

There are many DIY tutorials if you don’t mind sending some time doing them. This should be a fun a fulfilling project if you’re a crafty person!

There are many other ideas you can look into to create a one of kind atmosphere filled with magic and cheery absurdity. Here are a few more expression and concepts related to the famous novel.
