Elaine owns a clothing store on Abbot Kinney Blvd in Venice & has always had fascination the romantic era in the 19 teens where people would go on long vacations on big luxury ocean liners like the Titanic.  She pulled this era for inspiration.  She wanted each part of the wedding to be a different level on a luxury liner. Elaine created passports for the invites for guests. For the first part of the wedding, the ceremony, Elaine wanted it to be like the guests were embarking on the ship there were vintage trunks holding gifts and programs. There were also props like flags that you would on the balcony of a boat & a lifesaver which Jose Villa captured some great shots. The cocktail hour was supposed to be the 2nd class bar area.  We had a pinup style cigarette girl handing out candy cigarettes, old magazines scattered around, strolling of trio of musicians. For dinner it was a luxurious captains dinner theme.  Very formal sit down dinner, & big band music
