My fiance and I are hosting a wedding in October of 2008. We would love to have a wedding theme that is different than the standard autumn leaves that one typically sees in October. We are potentially having a more urban sophisticate type of event and love the prints (ads) by Leonetto Cappiello. I think there is potential there to create a theme around this type of art and the overall fun quality of those prints but haven’t been able to nail down anything solid. Any ideas on how to incorporate that into decor, invitations, favors, music, etc?

The sky no matter what didnt think could do it now for having child.
An art deco wing if you could get your program favors you could get the ads silk screened on each wall pillars tables etc you get married in an art museums.
The date of the outside of hte paintings and have painting on each wall pillars tables etc you.
Art Deco was in the 20s-late 30s so consider having a costume reception where everybody tries to dress like the time period. Play music from that era as well.
Art Deco was really famous for its architecture so name your tables after famous Deco buildings and paintings and include a picture of it on the table marker. (Example Chrysler Bulding)
It was alot of laquer and mirrors so consider that when making your choices.
Color pallates were bright and intense or very neutral (tans, blacks, browns, whites )so choose from that thought.
Lots of geometric shapes, stright lines, or diagonals (people get this confused with the Art Nouveau which was very curvy and organic and was a response to Art Deco)
Design focus was more on solid blocks of color and sort of illustrated feel like rather than realistic and textured look.
You can take your favorite Art Deco peice and give it to your baker and she will help you with a cake design inspired by it.
Favors you can give out copies of books on Art Deco either from Barne’s and Noble or you can easily choose information on the period and make your own.
People called back on the classic greek and roman but a big influence was city life so the urban look would definately work.
Feathers and crystals over many flowers and is definatly Art Deco.
