An “Old Hollywood” theme to inspire you!

We’re still star-struck by the Oscars on Sunday! The lights, the glitz, the glamour — everything got us thinking of a beautiful wedding theme based on Oscar gold and classic details.

Here, we’ve put together an “Old Hollywood” theme in shades of gold, black and cream to get you inspired. Just look at all the options you have for mixing, matching and coordinating!

Old Hollywood Wedding Theme

  1. Lots of candlelight will reflect the sparkle in your eyes and mimic the glow of paparazzi flashbulbs, so use candles liberally throughout your wedding! We added a floating candle to our flared glass bowl and strung it with strands of pearls for a simple but very rich look.
  1. The envelope, please…our “Bridget” custom pocket wedding invitation is worthy of your award-winning wedding look! Choose gold shimmer paper and black ribbon to accent the black and cream pocket. Black envelopes are a dramatic touch.
  1. Make guests feel like winners by giving them gold shimmer favor boxes filled with delicious treats. Tie with “sandcastle” gold silky weave ribbon and add a feather plume for drama.
  1. The best-dressed award will go to…your favors! These cute, black tuxedo favor boxes and cream gown favor boxes are a fun and unique way to present guests with a sweet treat.  And, attach a couple pearl add-ons for an extra luxurious touch.
  1. Coordinating enclosure cards for our “Bridget” invitation will make your stationery ensemble stand out from the crowd.
  1. Pearls, pearl glaze and touches of gold accent this couple cake topper figurine — a beautiful statue of your own to remind you of your wedding for years to come!
  1. Two-piece favor boxes in glistening, gold shimmer are perfect for presenting favor goodies to your supporting cast — your guests!
  1. Help guests find their seats easily with place cards lined up at a table outside the reception entrance. Accent the table with a dramatic floral arrangement in our personalized rectangular vase — don’t be afraid to add in satin roses and feathers!
  1. For toasts worthy of your big event, choose regal glassware, like these modern flutes engraved with your monogram.
  1. Announce your winning dinner menu on stylish, black menu cards printed in gleaming, gold lettering.

11,12. When your napkins match your color scheme, they become important decorating elements. Make them perfect down to the last detail by printing them with a stylish monogram.

13. Give your walk down the red carpet — oops! we mean the aisle! — a designer touch with this ecru pleated chiffon ring pillow.  And make your guest registry elegant with the matching ecru pleated chiffon guest book and pen.

14. Look and feel like Hollywood royalty by wearing a sparkling wedding tiara for the day!

15. Our large, floral-embossed, ecru favor boxes feature a clear window in the lid to let guests see the special treats inside. The boxes are perfect for sending guests home with a special treat at the end of the reception.


Enjoy!

Cut the cake — here are some great wedding cake alternatives!

Sure, the towering, multi-tier wedding cake frosted in white and covered with sugar flowers is traditional and beautiful. But is it YOU? If not, get creative and show your personalities and your style with a wedding cake alternative. And have we got some great ideas for you!

Maybe cake’s not your thing, but you LOVE your grandma’s pie. Or maybe your mom’s cheesecake. Why not serve these favorites for dessert or place one at each table so guests can help themselves? A fun touch: if it’s a family recipe, print up the recipe on pretty cards so guests can make them at home to remember your wedding.

PiesAtEachTable
 

Can’t decide on one thing for dessert? Serve everything you love at a dessert bar! Choose a variety of cakes, cookies and candies and display them uniquely on tiered serving stands.

Love chocolate? Who doesn’t! A chocolate bar for dessert is a decadent, delightful way to end your wedding meal.

Maybe you want a wedding cake, but not the traditional style. Ask your baker to create mini cakes and place one at each table. Mix and match flavors — guests will have fun mingling as they search out their favorite flavors! Provide plenty of personalized cocktail napkins at each table.

MiniCakes
 

Even your mini cakes deserve to be cut and served beautifully! Have a gorgeous cake knife and server set  at each table to do the job in style. Go with a fun, contemporary look with our wired and pearl bead serving set!

Bon Appetit!
