The other night I was flipping channels and ran across one of my favorite movies, Casablanca. Seeing it I remembered just how much I LOVE that movie. It is so romantic.
Anyway, I was thinking that I would love to capture that romance and adventure. Our recpetion venue is a beautiful old ball room with deep red carpets and high back leather chairs that I was going to cover since the red doesn't go with my pink and black. But now I am thinking that I might be able to work with it since it has that very vintage 1940's feel to it. The club also has a beautiful wood panelled bar with stained glass that we get use as well. There is even a piano in the ballroom. So, any ideas on how I could put together a reception that will transport my wonderful guests to the Cafe American? I was thinking lots of potted palms, Moroccan food (my favorite anyway), old fashioned champagne saucers, maybe a few vintage "signature" drinks, perhaps I could even talk Sean into white dinner jackets. Is there anything that you ladies can think of?
Oh, and by the way, long before I came up with this idea As Time Goes By was slated to be our first dance song.
