 | Victoria ( 30s, Female, United Kingdom )Aggy, It all depends on budget! There are a couple of amazing bespoke prop companies that can either make you props or already have a stock (especially of something like Alice in Wonderland). The company Event Prop Hire are great, have a look on their website under their Alice in Wonderland theme. Giant Drink Me bottles, cupcakes, tea cups etc. If that's out of your budget I'd highly recommend using a set designer used to creating stunning effects with a smaller budget. I know a brilliant one who is ex Royal Opera House and Jim Henson if you're interested. I recently saw a production of Wizard of Oz and she'd transformed the entire foyer of the theatre into Auntie Em and Uncle Henry's house. It was unbelievably realistic and she had a very small budget.

 Posts: 1 | Thank you very much Victoria! Aggy, Victoria is correct, we have some great Alice items available to hire that are particularly suitable for indoor use. Take a look at eventprophire.com/themes.php?theme=38

 | Kaprow( 30s, Female, London )I loved all of Heston's ‘feasts’ – particularly the Victorian one with the Alice in Wonderland theme! I think food is a great way to enhance a theme as it means you can go for a more subtle decor and avoid being tacky.

Posts: 1 | Lucy D.( 30s, Female, United Kingdom )Hi there Victoria, Would you be able to provide me with the detail of the person who was a set designer? Ex Royal House and Jim Henson as mentioned above. I also have to organise an Alice in Wonderland theme for a High Tea event and we have a small budget on this. It would be great promotion for your contact being set up in a new hotel! Many thanks, Lu
