Jazz It Up With An Art Deco Calla Lily Wedding Theme
The elegant calla lily has become so popular as a wedding flower
that entire books have been devoted to decorating for your wedding
reception using calla lilies. And why not? The gracefully curling
petals, the slender stems and the pale delicacy of the green
leaves have made the calla lily a popular theme in art and design
for decades. One very popular calla lily wedding theme is an Art
Deco wedding.

The calla lily was the perfect accent for the rounded, clean lines
that made Art Deco popular - and it is inextricably associated
with an era of elegance, exuberance and energy. Jazz and tuxedoes,
mimosas for breakfast - it's the Gatsby era with all its lush and
luxury. Invite the calla lily to your wedding, and surround
yourself with the classic elegance of a bygone age that was the
hallmark of fun.
The classic colors for an art deco themed wedding are black, white
and silver. If you tend toward drama, dress your bridesmaids in
chic, elegant black dresses accented with rhinestone clips at the
shoulder or bodice. Let them each carry a single calla lily to
offset the entire ribbon-bound dozen that make up your bouquet.
Fit your own dress to the theme by choosing an elegant sheath that
skims your body and leaves your back and shoulders bare. If you're
really daring, have a skilled artist paint a temporary tattoo of a
single, striking lily on the back of one bare shoulder. Instead of
a full-length veil, opt for an open-fronted wreath of stephanotis
to catch upswept hair, a short, sleek do, or a cap of curls.
Black tablecloths sprinkled with silver glitter are the perfect
backdrop for sparkling crystal and silver flatware. Break with the
traditional 'single calla lily in a tall vase'. Instead, mass a
bunch of the graceful flowers in a tall, narrow black vase, and
wrap with a silver ribbon.
Art Deco was the heyday of jazz, so you can't go wrong with a jazz
quartet to provide your music. You can be sure that they'll dress
the part, too, adding to the overall ambience of decadent luxury
with their presence. Keep that air going with a centerpiece table
featuring a glistening ice carving with sleek lines. Choose a
calla lily if you want, or pick another icon from the Art Deco
era.
Dolphins in particular capture the smooth, elegant curves, and a
sculpture of a pair of frolicking dolphins is the perfect
centerpiece for a pair of champagne fountains and pyramids of
crystal glasses.
An Art Deco calla lily wedding theme is dramatic and striking,
with the hint of luxury and elegance that can make your wedding
day perfect.
