Weddings that are themed around a particular era have become more popular as couples are looking to the celebration to reflect their style. The Roaring ’20s are a big one. This decade is full of Big Band Jazz, Art Deco visuals, and intricately adorned ensembles—a theme that has been trending since the release of The Great Gatsby in 2013. Although the movie illuminated this classic style, there’s been a ongoing appreciation for all things vintage, and it looks as if this will continue.
To help those planning a Roaring ’20s themed wedding, we went to the expert—Erika Pitera from Artfully Wed. So, here are some of Erika’s ideas for all of you style-conscious couples!
“For a 1920s theme, a classic palette of black, white and gold is easy to achieve and truly timeless and elegant. For the bride, I love the look of a trumpet-style gown.
“Bridesmaids can be styled in simple LBDs with the addition of headpieces or fascinators, and the groomsmen will look dashing in classic black tuxedos.”
“Champagne towers are making a comeback, especially in Roaring ’20s-inspired celebrations. I also adore the look of sophisticated black and white striped linens.”
For brides preferring something a little more colorful, jewel tones are the way to go! Think of the rich shades of a peacock feather for inspiration.” Thank you, Erika!
But wait…there’s more! Here are a few additional ideas to incorporate this classic theme into your wedding.
With vintage wedding transportation, you can show up in style and use this classic as a prop in your wedding photos.
For wedding entertainment, try a unique performer like a Charlie Chaplin impersonator. With a comedic ’20s era presence, Charlie can make your guests feel like they’ve traveled to a time of satire and silent films.
For your wedding photos, ask your photographer about vintage overlay options for development. Your big day will be captured with a nostalgic 1920s look.
We wish you a happy marriage and roaring celebration! Be sure to check out more 1920s-inspired wedding ideas at Artfully Wed!
