Vintage Inspired Carnival Wedding in Seattle

Last Updated: March 18th, 2021/24 CommentsTopic: REAL WEDDINGSby Meredith

Erin and Richard put together a carnival wedding inspired by James and the Giant Peach, Alice in Wonderland, and Big Fish.  This wonderland wedding was beautifully captured by La Vie Photography. Everything about this wedding screams fun, from the invitations to the reception décor!

Bride designed invitaions for her vintage inspired carnival wedding in SeattlePin

The bride designed her own invitations. We love all the different parts: a ceremony invitation, transportation card, RSVP post card, a hanky (with the words “keep your heart warm and your eyes dry”, and an invitation for the reception.

The programs were little newspapers, we hope this becomes a trend because we are loving it!

The dessert table was beyond expression. We would have gained a lot of weight if we had been there. I can’t decide which dessert is my favorite!
