A Very Important Date! Win A Movie Ticket Date Night

When you consider it, weddings and tea parties aren't so different.  Both require invitations, seating charts, dressing a certain way, and a specific code of ettiquette.  In honor of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland that releases into theaters today, Style Unveiled has some wedding tea party eye candy for you styled by Amy Burke Designs and photographed by J. Perlman R. Lutge Photography.

Because, if you're anything like me, you'll be craving a tea party of your own after viewing these gems, we've rounded up some of our favorite tea party tools, accessories, and wedding favors for your consideration.

And... because the mere mention of Alice in Wonderland is enough to send most people off to grab their car keys and head to the theater, we are giving one lucky Style Unveiled reader a pair of movie tickets to use for a date night with their sweetie.

How to win a pair of movie tickets:

Write a comment on this post about what you're most excited to see in the new Alice in Wonderland film! {We're betting on a lot of Johnny Depp answers...!}

It's What's on the Inside that Counts for this Cake

We just had to share this!  We were on Whisk Kid's blog and saw this really cool idea that got us thinking:  Why just decorate the outside of your cake?

Whisk Kid made an incredible rainbow cake for her friend's going away party.  We love the element of surprise that this cake presents: crisp and white on the outside and then {BOOM!} bright, beautiful colors of the rainbow on the inside.  What a great idea, Whisk Kid!

So, next time you're imagining what your wedding cake will look like, don't forget to include daydreams of what the inside will look like as well.  Give your guests something that they will talk about long after the wedding is over :)

{SWOON} Over this Giveaway!

Do you {SWOON} over giveaways??  So do we!  That's why we are so excited about the Swoon bridesmaid dress giveaway which begins on Monday! What do we love so much about these dresses?  They are all retailed under $300 and they are super cute!  You could easily wear them after the wedding ... For instance, we can't get enough of the yellow one below.  Can't you see yourself wearing that on your honeymoon in Cabo?  Anyway, make sure you enter, caue you could win!!!

Here are all the details of the giveaway:

For this contest, Swoon will be giving away three bridesmaid dresses to one lucky bride-to-be! Here’s how the competition works: the future bride will submit a written statement detailing why she adores her bridesmaids and what they mean to her.  The giveaway begins March 1st and runs through April 30th, and the gal with the loveliest story will win her choice of three stunning gowns! The email address for submissions is: enterme@swoondress.com. An important note to remember, the dresses take 3-4 months for production, so weddings in early spring might not make the deadline.

What's more?  The designer of Swoon, Amy, is so darling and was just a bride herself!  Check out this article we posted of her wedding:  Amy and John's Wedding
