Wedding: table ideas?

[hazliya]

So, I'm thinking that between our officiant and incongruous and numerous ideas, the best way to incorporate them all?

Time-travel-themed wedding.

Therefore, I was thinking of having accents for each of the tables according to a different time and place, numbering 14 in total.

Again, this is just something I was kicking around. No guarantees elenuial will go for it. =)

So far, a few ideas:

France, 1940 - Eiffel tower, Noir film covers, Barbie trenchcoats
Greece, 400 BC - Columns, statues, etc
Pangea, Cretaceous period - DINOSAURS
Mars or The Moon, 2200 - robots, aliens, tiny houses spray-painted silver

Anyone else have any ideas for places + little decorations? I'm trying to go with places and times that have something interesting going on.

P.S. - Does anyone know where I could get a backdrop of inside the Tardis for the photobooth, or have one made on the cheap?

Chrono Trigger wedding?

Age of Sail - Toy boats, compasses, little cannons
Renaissance Italy - David, the Mona Lisa, etc.
Prohibition - Little cocktail glasses and Tommy guns.
Ancient Egypt - I don't know, pyramids and shit.
Protestant Reformation Germany - Printing press letters, 95 tiny theses nailed to an equally tiny door.
Revolutionary France - Decapitated Barbie heads, half-knit garments still on the needles.

I am totally helping.

Wild west: cowboy hats, toy guns, faux gold nuggets
the 80s: flashy jewelry, photos of Madonna, prince, M. Jackson, Rainbow bright, he man, my little poney, ninja turtles toys, or any kitch toy from the 80s
Victorian England: tea cups instead of regular cups, a lace tablecloth, a picture of Queen victoria

Ice Age: mammoths (or cheat and have elephants with big tusks) and fake snow

You could of course have a Chinese or Japanese theme for one table - just try to make sure all of your styling/tchotckes are within a few hundred year time span (yeah, I cheat)

I would say Tudor England, but I'm having trouble thinking of little things for the centerpiece... a Tudor era crown? A fake Shakespeare playbill? Something with the Tudor rose on it? All surrounded by a ruffle?

Copper Age.
That way you can have basic tools AND megalithic temple sites.

Though actually,Paris 1940 might be interesting--you could really work a Resistance theme there (though it is outside the standard 40s Noir, consider watching 'Night of the Generals' with Peter O'Toole and Omar Sharif for good shots of Paris)

1066 England, the invasion by William. Castles, knights on horseback
1931 New York, flappers, jazz, and the empire state building

I want to say something with the great wall of china, and maybe something with stonehenge. Almost any of the 'great wonders of the world' would be good centerpieces.

Oh, forgot Rome and the Colliseum.
