With the historic old theater so conveniently located, we join forces to bring together the theme of Old Hollywood Glam with the gold, black and white color palette. The black floor provided the wonderful anchor for all the gold items. From gold flatware, chivari chairs, gold sequin linens, statement-making gold urns and candelabras and numerous vintage pieces the style was complete with no detail left out. Even a vintage mirror and frames were used for the gold sealed escort cards. All the gold was anchored nicely with the black rimmed place settings and the black back-ground invitation suite.

GLAM CAKE TABLE

The groom donned a classic black tuxedo and the bride was adorned in a sleek gown designed by Kenneth Winston from Bianka Bridal and shoes by Badgley Mischka fit for the red carpet. While fabulously elegant, the gown was also comfortable enough for the bride and groom to enjoy a break on the round couch in the beautiful theater lobby. The dessert table was filled several cakes in gold, black & white and many vintage, gold pieces from days gone by to continue the theme.
