Art deco weddinng...

Hi all

I'm just in the process of getting inspiration for my art deco table settings but I can't find anything I really like.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

    Could you go for some square mirrored vases filled with your wedding flowers? Perhaps you could string pearls around them and add a black ostrich feather or two?

    Just found this picture to show you what I mean, I thought it up first but I'm amazed how similar it is!! :lol:

    I ordered our vases from here - http://www.sara-richards.co.uk/section.php/59/1/cube-vases

    These are an incredible price and very high quality (I didn't use them for the wedding but bought some for home on a whim, very impressed) http://www.sara-richards.co.uk/product.php/2793/silver-frosted-cylinder-votive

    In fact you could even make them your favours! :)
  • How about flowers in a vase (or jar!) wrapped in lace secured with an art deco-style brooch? Try ebay, etsy, charity shops, vintage clothes shops, markets, car boot sales.....

    Pinterest can be great for getting a good dose of wedding inspiration, as there are lots of members (like me!) filling up Pinterest boards with weddingy things. See this and this. (Though their servers seem to be acting up a bit at the mo.)
