First, secure a venue on Peerspace

No matter what kind of wedding ceremony you are hosting, the first thing to think about is where to hold it. That, of course, depends on how many guests you’re inviting, as well as your personal style. In the case of an Alice in Wonderland-themed wedding, you’ll probably want to hold the event outside, since so much of the story takes place en plein air.

This means you’ll need a non-traditional space, so head straight to Peerspace.com and search all the original venues on the bookings platform.

Peerspace is the largest online platform for booking creative and fun events venues just like what you’ll need for an Alice in Wonderland wedding. There are literally thousands of Peerspaces in several countries, with more being added every day.

Head to the website, enter the date of your ceremony, and the city or area where you’d like to wed, and peruse the gorgeous photos of the available venues. If you have questions, you can reach out directly to the host. And most listings have guest reviews so you can gather details from their rental experiences.

Since our story kicks off on a grassy riverbank, consider hosting the Alice in Wonderland wedding on the grounds of this Georgian-era estate in Surrey, England. With the right decorations, you can realize your wedding theme straight from the storybook illustrations. In fact, the space might have actually informed author Carroll as he drafted his tale. With its gardens, river access, and woodland path, it wouldn’t be a stretch to situate your Wonderland right here.

Decor ideas

Steampunk and psychedelia are the foundational design elements that inform the contemporary visual interpretation of the 1864 children’s classic. Use Easter-esque pastels for your chair sashes and your flowers to stay true to the storyline. You can also go with a super bright 1960s motif to tap into the “Feed Your Head” classic rock era. Either way, mix in some brass for the steampunk aspects.

Lots of symbolic props punctuate the story of Alice in Wonderland. You can use them as decorative elements throughout your wedding ceremony to make the theme come to life. The White Rabbit in the story was late for a very important date. In this case, that date is a wedding ceremony!

Concentrate on the focal points like the podium and chairs. Then, intersperse some pocket watches, hourglasses, keys, playing cards, chess pieces, and the like. Importantly, do not forget to find some embellished hand mirrors – though their reflective glint might challenge your photos a bit.

Love the steampunk element of Alice in Wonderland and want it to feature prominently in your wedding? Then consider hosting your “i do”s at this expansive steampunk-inspired lounge in San Francisco, CA. It is 3,000 square feet and provides space for 200 guests, which is more than enough space for most nuptials. The host provides tables, chairs, a projector, a screen, and a sound system. You and your guests can also enjoy full bar service, including the venue’s signature drinks. Talk to them about your wedding theme and see what they can come up with!
