1940's style

Hello everyone....I am looking for ideas for my table centerpcs....

Milk glass and traditional floral arrangements come to mind unless you have a more specific theme?

I've also seen people use old books, records, typewriters, etc. It depends on the level of formality and your specific theme. Can you give us any more detail about your vision?

I was thinking about large martini glasses with floating candles - strands of pearls...I want classy and elegant yet unique....and something that really reflects that time period. I want to do alot of this stuff myself since floral arrangements on every table will get quite costly... Thanks for any and all help ladies!!

I think that I would scour antique stores for vases that would give you something similar. Martini glasses would look nice and I like the pearl idea a lot. Just be careful not to evoke more of a 20s feel with it. Looking up 1940s kitchens, dining rooms, and decor might help. Vases like the ones in these pics were popular. Many had fan shapes in that decade.

Martini glasses and pearls? The first half of the 1940's was entirely centered around sacrificing for the troops! Women didn't even wear pantyhose!!

For real 1940s, I would go with something like this

Except set them on the tables rather than hanging them.

Depending on the number of tables/bridesmaids, you could just have your BMs throw their bouquets in there. You could also have silk flowers in the centerpieces, or really cheap arrangements, even from the supermarket!
