Want To Party The Night Away In Style Like The Great Gatsby? Go For An Art Deco Wedding
Who doesn’t love it when a wedding has a really cool theme?
More couples these days are choosing to draw some inspiration from the roaring 20s and have an Art Deco-themed wedding.
If you don’t know much about Art Deco, it’s a term for the kind of visual arts, product, and architecture design that was really big in the United States from the 1920s to the early 1930s. When thinking of Art Deco, think of “The Great Gatsby,” sharp geometric designs, and icons from the Jazz Age era.
If you want an Art Deco-inspired wedding theme but don’t necessarily want to be strutting down the aisle in a flapper costume, here are some subtle ways to incorporate an Art Deco aesthetic into your wedding.
Use black and gold.
Black and gold is a wonderful color combination that screams Art Deco and adds a very classy, vintage vibe to your wedding. Consider dressing your bridal party in black and gold or incorporate it into your wedding decorations and venue furniture.
Incorporate geometric shapes.
Art Deco involves a lot of sharp geometric shapes and lines. You can look online for some cool backdrops you can use for your ceremony that hang little silver or gold three-dimensional shapes to get married under or hang in any nearby trees.
Use crystal glassware.

Glassware from the Art Deco era was stunning and would look beautiful at a wedding. Look into some places where you can rent some vintage crystal glassware that will make your guests feel very fancy to drink from!
Use a vintage bar cart.
Whether it’s being used as a decoration or you actually want to grab a drink from it during your reception, a bar cart is a fun way to send your guests back in time and makes a fun piece to look at on your wedding day.
Send out white and gold invitations.
While you may want to use black and gold decor during your ceremony, a black wedding invitation might be too intense or give your guests the wrong idea of the occasion! White and gold invitations stand out and will make a memorable keepsake when the wedding is over.
Celebrate with a champagne tower.
One of the most iconic symbols of the roaring 20s is a lavish tower of full champagne glasses! It’ll be fun to take pictures with and even more fun to drink from. Just ensure you have responsible staff members operating the tower to prevent broken glass disasters!
Book a jazz band.
Since Art Deco is often associated with the Jazz Age, why not hire a jazz band to play at your wedding? Hearing live musicians is always thrilling, and if you book a good enough band, your guests will be dancing the night away.
Hopefully, this gives you some jazzy inspiration for your special day. Have fun!
