Alice in Wonderland Wedding Inspiration in the Berkshire Hills of Tyringham, Massachusetts

This Alice in Wonderland-inspired styled shoot at the Winbrooke Mansion in the Berkshire hills of Tyringham, Massachusetts, was seen in Issue 32!

Creative Director & Photographer Rebecca Castonguay formed a dream team of wedding vendors, designers, and models (including Elijah – a live white Angora rabbit!) to bring her vision of Alice in Wonderland to life.

Featuring gowns crafted by Muna Coterie Member, Dani Simone Couture, each model shines confidently wearing a range of vintage-inspired bridal robes and wedding gowns. The grooms and groomsmen look equally handsome in their suiting attire.

Every detail perfectly complements the decor, florals, and theme of the Wonderland-inspired shoot.

Rebecca Castonguay describes her vision of whimsical romance:

Set amidst the historic beauty of Winbrooke, nestled in the Berkshire hills of Tyringham, Massachusetts, this “Wonderland at Winbrooke” editorial found its canvas in a mansion once owned by the renowned New York socialite, Brooke Astor. The luxurious backdrop provided the perfect setting to breathe life into our reimagined tale.

Our Alice, led by model Amanda-Kay Prather features a short light blue wedding midi dress by Dani Simone as she falls down the rabbit hole into a dreamland of wedding wonder. We see the transition of the white rabbit take form in various Dani Simone wedding gowns, where every gown showcases the unique beauty of a different model.

Our main bride led by June Ramadhan, also sports Elijah – a live white angora rabbit as part of her wedding ensemble along with long black opera gloves and an Ivorie and Blu ring to enhance the drama of her character.

The floral arrangements by The Rose Thief seamlessly complemented our color scheme, while jewelry pieces designed and crafted by White Sands Bridal and others curated by Ivorie and Blu added layers of depth to our story. From the whimsical invitation suite by Max and Maiden Ink to the intricate details of the tablescape and drink me note patron bottle favors made by Calligrapher, Amy Ruzzo, every element was crafted with care and intention.

This editorial was about more than just showcasing beautiful gowns and accessories; it was about challenging beauty standards and redefining what luxury means to encompass the richness of our differences. In our world, everyone has a place, and each voice is essential to the telling of our unique story. Through compassion and appreciation for our differences, we will discover the true wonderland.
