| OH FUN! And let me be one of the first to congratulate you!!!Check out the links below! I especially like the idea of 'naming a theme' for each table. Sounds like a lot of extra work, maybe but sure would leave the guests with some fun memories and I'm sure each one would love walking from table to table talking to see what all the others were themed!!!! |

| Hehehe - I think this is one wedding where flasks are definitely in order - if not in the budget for favours, then at least for the attendants. Think Prohibition!! (A more cost-effective overall favour might be long beads for women -- think flappers! - and...cigars for men?)I love your theme! Alas, my fiance wants something more traditional...oh well!For centerpieces, you could definintely do something with metal candelabras. Drape some (fake) pearls around the base and scatter a few rose petals...What about setting up your reception area like a speakeasy? (Goes with the zoot suites..) You could have gambling in one corner, a "cigar lounge" in another area, and (obviously) a bar! You most certainly need to have a jazz band. =)For other decorations, check out flea markets and consignment shops. Look for old cut glass bowls and use them to hold candy/flowers/ostrich feathers/whatever. |

| I LOVE this idea, I helped a friend plan her wedding this way, except she called it The Great Gatsby theme. There are many many great idea's out there. We (and I hate to admit this) but mirrored her wedding decorations after the Christina Augullera (sorry probably spelt that wrong) video- Ain't no other man- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW_j1EPZzEYGo to Yahoo or Google and type in Great Gatsby theme wedding and many decorations and ideas will come up. She had rhinestones, feathers, crystals everywhere and lots of candles, it really sparkled.Good luck!Oh and pearls streamed all over. |

| I say pianos they are black and white and music was very popular during this time and your theme could be "the perfect note"!!! love it! |

| Right on...we did a vintage wedding, too, but it was centered around antique red roses. Invest in a swing band if you can, instead of a DJ, it's so worth it! There's a font called Souci Sans that is cool and art deco, if you can incorporate it into things it will look great. Look through various Art Deco books to get ideas. With the black & white theme, you may want a few splashes of color, such as red or yellow. Maybe the bouquets and the cake, and just a very few decor items in a brilliant color will set the black and white off nicely. How fun! |

Everything About Your Wedding
Wedding Marketplace
Buy and sale all wedding related products.
Where and How to Start?
There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky!
Wedding Invitation
Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
Wedding Attire
Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire.
Wedding Flowers
Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost.
Wedding Ceremony Decoration
Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority...
Wedding Music
Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances.
Wedding Photography
Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day.
Wedding Favors
Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you...
Wedding Food
Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget.
Wedding Cake
Your wedding cake is the centerpiece of the reception. It is a scrumptious dessert as well as part of a tradition
Wedding Party
The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
