I've recently gotten to know the amazing work of wedding invitation design company Royal Steamline, and I swear every new creation of theirs I see makes me fall more and more in love with them! Their vintage aesthetic is spot on and each wedding invitation, save the date, and creative accessory is better than the last. They've just launched their new" Create Your Own Vintage Postcard" series, which includes invitations, enclosures, rsvps, save-the-dates and thank you cards printed on lush, linen paper to give them that authentic vintage feel. They even offer matching postmark monogram stamps, vintage postal-inspired return address stamps, "Airmail Twine," gift tags, and a hand-treated "vintagization" service to turn a modern-day photo into an instant vintage classic.

Alice in Wonderland Wedding Inspiration Photo Shoot

admin — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 04:00:00 GMT

There's so much that's magical about the story of Alice in Wonderland, so when I received this pretty styled wedding photo shoot that used the Alice story as their inspiration, I just couldn't resist sharing it with you! From the whimsical floral designs to the keys and clocks dotting the decor design, to the playful fashion, hair and makeup, this shoot is bursting with fun wedding ideas. Here's a little background on the shoot, and photos from Becca Rillo Photography...

"The Newhall Mansion (formerly the Piru Mansion) is an iconic landmark that has been featured in many films like the original Hulk and Charlie's Angels. Since being taken over in July of 2012, the new owners have completely furnished this gorgeous location with authentic elements from the original time is was built. We put together a team of our absolute favorite vendors for this shoot because this is the first styled shoot that has ever been done at this location. The new owners are so excited to start holding real weddings there starting in April 2013.

When we did our original walk through of the venue, there were so many gorgeous areas around the property, it was hard to narrow it down to a few to capture for the shoot. The beautiful, pastel, stained glass jumped out at us and we immediately thought of Alice in Wonderland as a perfect theme. We paired some vintage elements, mixed with modern accents to create this gorgeous wedding inspiration!"
