Vintage Tavern

I've officially gone wedding decor crazy...and need help. Please!?
I started with a love for peacock feathers and eclectic mixes. I've had to change my venue from the beach to an indoor reception in a room that is the exact replica of The Crystal Room at Tavern on the Green in NYC.
My bridesmaids dresses are a royal lapis purple. The room has numerous chandeliers and gold chivari chairs. I'm in love with the mid-thirties fashion style. And, I'm wearing green suede shoes. My dress is vintage embellishment inspired.
So - my dilemma: 30s/40's feel, peacock feathers, purple, gold, crystals, green, vintage...I don't want something matchy matchy...I love eclectic looks...but I'm scared it won't look pulled together! Help...please!
From the sounds of it...you sound like you have pulled a lot together already. I am very excited about what you have thought about already! Whatever you do, I know things will look wonderful!
Here are some of my ideas....
I think the bouquets would look fantastic with the violet tulips, peacock feathers, and ivory calla lilies — however you could add either purple or ivory orchids if you think it needs a 2rd flower type. To bring in the gold, you can always wrap a gold ribbon around the bouquet stems and/or accent the bouquet flowers with sparkle gold ting!
For the ceremony, I would make lapis purple pew bows with ivory calla lilies and peacock feathers on every other pew. By puttng them on every other pew, you can save yourself some money.
I would have my BM's carry bouquets with only white Heather flowers and lavender sprigs. I did this for a wedding once and it looked so amazing. I would also have you carry a pure poeacock cascading bouquet with a few lavender sprigs sporadically placed. How sexy!!!
I would have the grooms men wear all black tie and vest or the same lapis purple as the BM's. I would have the boutennieres be ivory calla lilies with lavender sprigs and a gold bow. I would have the flower girl be a mini bride because eventhough that is a very modern idea, it is so adorable. I would have the flower girl carry an ivory basket with lapis purple tulip petals. I think roses are silly and tulips are much more 40s anyhow.
I would have your mothers wear lavender or the tan color of the peacock feathers and their corsages can be ivory lilies.
I would have 3different centerpieces. You stated that you do not want matchy matchy, so that would allow for distinct and dramatic approach. I would have a third of your tables with high centerpieces (over 24inch high vases). I would have a third of your tables be a medium 11" high vase filled with the smaller arrangement of the flowers. I would also have really small vases on the last third of the vases. The 24" high vases can be filled with lavender, lapis purple tulips, ivory calla lilies, white Heather flowers, and Peacock feathers.
I would have the 11" vases filled with ivory calla lilies, lavender, and peacock feathers. I would have the small vases (maybe under 5") be filled with only lavender and Heather flowers.
I would tie this look all together by using ivory table cloths, ivory linens, clear cups, and gold plated silverware. I would use a lapis purple with lavender edging runner on al of the tables or large square placed in the center of the table that takes up all of the room of the table except for where the plates will go. I would also put tea candles all over each of the tables to give them a prettier ambience. You know, many people would say that a vintage idea would be to have the center pieces sit on mirrors but I would definitely put use the fabric idea because it would add more of your colors.
You can order all of your extras (such as signing book, garter, pen, goblets, and all) out of peacock feathers. How cool would it be to have your guests sign with a peacock feather instead of an actual pen???
I would serve only purple drinks. Grape Kool-Aid for the kiddos. Purple Martinis for the adults. And for the champagne toast have lavender sprigs put inside of the cup. Trust me the guests wont eat the lavender. LOL!
Give your guest grape jelly wrapped in an ivory bow and small peacock embellishment. How adorable! This is a nice give away and rather inexpensive.
I would stick to a traditional 3-tier wedding cake since you want to stick to the 30s/40s feel. You can spruce it up a bit by filling the open spaces with lapis purple tulips,white Heather flowers, and lavender sprigs. I would also do a great deal with the peacock motif instead of using actual peacock feathers, which will be cheaper for you and you H2B as well. Such as a peacock motif on your dessert napkins, and invitations.
I think you are on the right track already.
It's just difficult at times to get all of your ideas down. But until you do, don't buy anything else...You will just end up purchasing a lot of things that you don't necessarily need.

Tavern $54.86 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A tavern or pothouse is, loosely, a place of business where people gather to drink alcoholic beverages and, more than likely, also be served food, though not licensed to put up guests. The word derives from the Latin taberna and the Greek /taverna, whose original meaning was a shed or workshop. The distinction of a tavern from an inn, bar or pub varies by location, in some places being identical and in others being distinguished by traditions or by legal license. In Renaissance England, a tavern was distinguished from a public ale house by dint of being run as a private enterprise, where drinkers were guests rather than members of the public.

Papa John's Camaro
Papa John's owner and founder reunites with his Camaro.
The long search for the 1971 Chevrolet Camaro has ended. Finally, Papa John's pizza chain founder and owner has reunited with his beloved car which he sold many years ago just to save the family's business from closing. The proceeds from selling his 1971 Camaro was used to save his father's tavern and he also launched Papa John's. Papa John's pizza today is one of the leading pizza businesses in the United States.
He missed his Camaro and he spent many years finding it. He even created a Web site devoted for the search of his car and offered $250,000 cash to anyone who will find it. Having reunited with his car was very emotional for John Schnatter and to show his gratitude, he gave free pizza on that day to any Camaro owner who visited his pizza chain. He also gave $25,000 to the person who tracked the car down.
Do you believe that paying $250,000 for an old vintage car is enough?

John Schnatter, owner of Papa John's pizza spent days in confirming that the Camaro was really his. They pulled out ownership records of the car and verified its authenticity. As promised, $250,000 was given to the recent owner of the car
According to Schnatter, the Camaro is a representation of what he gave up years ago just start his Papa John's pizza. Selling the beloved car was a great sacrifice and now it represents the roots of a successful business. He added that when he started the business, success was not expected and that he did not hope to get the Camaro back someday.
Do you think it was worth the sacrifice to sell a treasured asset to start a business?
