1920s Jazz Art
Decor / Center piece ideas for a 1920s, Art Deco, Gatsby reception.?
I am involved in planning a ceremony 1920s/art deco / jazz theme Award and I need some good ideas for decorations and center pieces. Some basic ideas I've invovle Calla Lillies, excerpts of jazz musicians and many lights. We spend most of our budget on lights so we were thinking incorprating mirror to reflect light into focus. The centers must also quite large, because we do not hav place settings on the table. Any ideas?
Great theme … love it. Continuation of the "Jazz" to the centerpieces. I would always in some instruments, it was donated by family, from thrift stores, 2nd hand look at music stores. With photo frame is found at local craft or frame shops (Hobby hobby, Michaels, etc.) Place the instrument in the middle of the table, where some small battery-powered lights and body draped on and around the instrument, District or city of the instrument or case (also found in HH and woman) in white, black or other colors to compliment your wedding colors of feather boas. Could be Vintage Music Cases such as violin or trumpet cases. Very popular in the 20's. On other tables, you could wind lights and Boaz. You could small mirror tiles on the table, the lights reflected scatter. Check out some DVDs from this period is called "The Great Gatsby for other great ideas. Pay special attention to the details. Then use your imagination. Surely you are the WOW factor with this issue. Congratulations!
