Art Deco Wedding

Actually, I`m planning on a wedding for November of next year. I live in LA so I`m booking the Verandah Grill at the Queen Mary. The prices are within budget, and the room is COMPLETELY Art Deco.

Also, I have an artist friend that does fashion design. I picked 5 contemporary dresses and sat with him and told him exactly what I liked about them. He has a great 1940`s style to him. So he is picking the parts I liked and is adding his touch to make it close to that style.

The men are in tails and the bridesmaids are picking their own dresses, from a list of 20 I showed them. Then I`m taking those dresses to my friend. I`m paying him a totall of $25 per sketch which for $125 I get the drawing of the exact gowns I want. I have a seemstress that will add whatever I want to those dresses. It helps to pick basic contemporary dresses so that they have a good start on the pattern. Then they can add sleves or anything they want to it as I please. I`m still in the process of getting the drawings, once I have those, I`ll be able to take those to any seemstress.

I`m doing more as I go. I`m currently looking into invitations with a deco theme. If not, I`ll go about seeing if I can do them myself.

It helps that I have over a year to work on this.

I`m getting married in the wedding chapel on the Queen Mary in March. I`m looking for saucer-style champagne glasses that we can use as wedding favours. Anyone have any sources?

Thanks!

I was looking into party favors, and I came across this interesting one:

It`s not a champagne glass, as requested, but it is a Martini glass. The unique thing about it is that it`s a two part glass. I thought they were lovely since they have can have multiple funtions.

The price is steep for a favor, but when you personalize all the card board boxes and buy all the candies, it`ll run you just as much.

I hope this helps.

Not quite what I was looking for, but thanks for your help, April.
