"A Day in the Life of The Divas!"

 

       In keeping with our 1950s "Frank Sinatra-esque" club theme, 

we chose the colors of peacock blue
with claret red roses and white carnations 

accented with peacock and ostrich feathers.

For the tables, we wanted a club feel so we created lamps
using vases, LED lights, and lampshades adorned with
claret red ostrich feathers and a glittery butterfly accent!

For the Art Deco Wedding Cake,

(and yes, it was real!)

we created Art Deco design elements from gum paste,

  hand crafted butterflies with royal icing, 

and accented the design with claret red roses.

"128 South" was the perfect environment for a trip down memory lane

to an era of fabulous style
that was created long before most of the "guests" had memories!!!

The "Bride" wore a vintage 1950s wedding dress
and the men's white dinner jackets completed the look!

Jan of aMuse and Wilmington's Style Girl Jess James accessorized each of the ladies

with 1950s inspired hats and vintage jewelry which resulted in this "wedding" having 

some really glamorous "guests"!!!

 

The "Bride" & "Groom" and their adoptive "parents" for the evening 

looked like the real deal!!!

  

To complete the look for Lisa's photos,

Jennifer taught the "guests" some 1950s dance moves,

"Born to Hand Jive Baby!!!"

Brian looking "suave" in his Fedora!!!

"FLY ME TO THE MOON!!!"

with a photo back drop that we created for the theme!

Just because it was a faux wedding, it doesn't mean the bouquet toss didn't "take"!!!
