One of the most jaw-dropping events I photographed this year was designed and coordinated by the talented and lovely Sonia Sharma at Sonia Sharma Events<\/a>. It’s hard to go wrong with Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland<\/em> as a theme, but even I couldn’t have imagined just how much a great designer and coordinator (like Sonia) could do with a blank “Alice” canvas.<\/p>\n

Guests walked into a paradise featuring huge mushrooms, swirling florals and greenery, and even a topiary caterpillar — all brought to life by the creative team at R. Jack Balthazar<\/a>. Jesters juggled and rode around on unicycles, while the Mad Hatter, Tweedledee and Tweedledum circulated among the guests. Synchronized swimmers provided a stylized performance in the pool before trumpet players (cloaked in “royal court” garments) announced that the festivities were soon starting. The extraordinary red tent featured chandeliers as well as a huge spinning custom-made sphere upon which stunning visuals were projected. The gorgeous red dance floor was surrounded by a black-and-white harlequin floor, upon which the guest tables were arranged. The table decor included huge “chess pieces” with roses at the base, along with gold-rimmed stemware and place settings. The fine dining was provided by Chef \u00a0Giacomino Drago,\u00a0owner of Il Pastaio\u00a0in Beverly Hills.<\/p>\n

As guests walked through the curtained entry to the side of the tent, they encountered an entire room filled with the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party — a dessert table sparkling with projected lights and brimming with custom desserts. A cake designed to look like the Mad Hatter’s chapeau was topped by a dancing Alice, and I was literally blown away by the detail in this stunning cake. Guests danced throughout the night under this perfect red canopy, and few in attendance will ever forget this one-of-a-kind paradise created by Sonia Sharma Events<\/a>. With fabulous second camera work by Yoshi Morimoto<\/a>.<\/p>\n
