1940`s Wedding

I`m also planning a 1940`s wedding and have gotten alot of splendid ideas just surfing the web. But first I did some research on the era. It was very Hollywood and glamour. So my gown is a replica of a starlet`s day gown, very liquid sleek, sophisticated, sexy with sholder pads. The veil is very short attached to to a splendid 40`s hat that lays low down near an eye, at an angle. Calla lilies were the accepted wedding flower. My centerpieces are really neat (e-mail me and I`ll send you a picture). Favors are miniature calla lily candles. I`m also having a crescent moon fashioned to use as a backdrop for pictures (remember seeing those starlets sitting on a half moon looking so sad). I`ll be more than happy to send anyone pictures if interested.

Hi there,

I am planning a 1940`s inspired wedding for April 24th, 2010. If it`s not too much trouble, I would love it if you could send me photos of your wedding. I am having trouble deciding on my centerpieces. I love the glassware from that era and also want to include feathers and flowers. The internet has been a great resource, but I am always looking for new ideas.

Thanks!

Would you mind sending me pictures of your event? I`m planning a 1940`s Audrey Hepburn-ish hollywood glam wedding myself for next September.
Thanks a lot! :) congratulations on your marriage:)

Hi Edith,
Would you please send me some of your pictures? I too, am stuck for centrepieces ideas, and also invitation 1940`s style. If you don`t mind also sending me a pic of your dress and accessories, that would really be helpful.
Thank you for your help,
Janice
