On The Edge With October Madness
October mornings are filled with possibilities for wedding ceremonies and receptions. The long days of summer sunshine are becoming shorter. Autumn leaves blanket landscapes across the country with color. There is air of mischief that adds to the charm of an October wedding and reception.
Always in style are gladrags of the 1920s. Strapless or spaghetti strings for flapper dresses can be worn by both brides and their bridesmaids. The wedding walk down the isle traditionally begins with a bride goofy in love and her dapper. The succession of colors and styles can be spectacular. Hanky hems and fringes in red, shell pink, green, yellow and black are color possibilities for bridesmaids. A string of pearls given by the groom to the bride is something that can be cherished through all of the days of their marriage and beyond. Long strings of beads can be worn by bridesmaids. Monochrome colors can provide seasonal highlights. A complete success is a well dressed groom and his groomsmen not one of who is a dewdropper.

Accessories frequently add to styles. Tulle shawls can be worn with strapless dresses and provide warmth on a whispy autumn morning. A Juliet cap worn by the bride can create a 1920s accent. The bridesmaids will feel honored in wreaths of flowers. A single orchid carried by each bridesmaid will give a procession of unity. The succession can be followed by a few ring bearers in stylish suspenders who give an air of mischief in their path.
Before the October wedding day arrives, a shower can be given in the morning or as an afternoon lunch. Potatoes from the summer harvest are excellent side dishes. Scalloped potatoes made at home or oven roasted potatoes with sour cream served in harvest amounts will feed a small army of guests. Harry Houdini was the rage during the 1920s. A magician is a sure ticket to entertain those at the shower for countless hours. It will be a blow remembered by all who attend.

Favors for a 1920s wedding reception are one thing that can add flair through their simplicity. Single orchids left at each lunch plate will save the memories of the wedding service. A mask given to every guest provide entertainment for all ages. Movie tickets and fans scattered across the tables at the reception are good conversation pieces. A pianist can provide entry music to the reception hall.
A roaring fun 1920s wedding reception is not complete without cake and soda jerked punch. Streams of fog filtering from a fog machine make both guests and punch sparkle. An upside down pineapple cake can be served at the shower. A brown sugar glaze drizzled across the cake is a seasonal delight. Pineapple and cherries are a surprise when found in wedding cakes.

A wedding reception hall is empty without the sound of music. Swing, jazz and ragtime all bring the 1920s back to life. A dance instructor can teach the struggles of the 1920s and re-capture the age of the flappers. Lastly, don't forget to interwine the sounds of Michael Jackson. Thriller gives an added dimension to any October celebration.
