Art Deco Decorating Ideas

I’m looking for ideas for an Art Deco wedding….?
I’m having an art deco/prohibition era wedding and am trying to figure out how to decorate the stage, how to fashion the card box to look like an art deco building and what I should use as table # holders. The ceremony is in the theater of a 1927 building and the reception is in the lobby/hall. I can’t figure out for the life of me what to put on the stage. It’s just black right now…that’s it, black. As far as the card box and the table # holder things, I imagine I’m going to have to make them myself. I have an idea of how to fashion the table thing-a-ma-jiggys (I’m naming the tables, no #’s…’jazz era’, black tuesday’, ‘Al Capone’, etc…), but am totally open to suggestions. i’m not the most creative:( Any help will be welcome!
how about something like this? it can be used as a backdrop and will give an awesome look to the black stage, at the front you would then only need potted palm/grass, always present in clubs etc during this era

BD 176, & BD177 are great on here
and 177 has the palm on it!! so a couple of plants would complete the scene!

what about these for holding the cards on the table, they come with a stand and would link the whole jaz thing in, they come in all sorts
