All out Gatsby Glamour!

First start by choosing the perfect venue for your Gatsby inspired wedding day. Choose a venue that reflects this glorious era with art deco chic and decadence – why not take a look at the place that hosted the Great Gatsby’s film premiere after party…Criterion London! Such a glamorous backdrop, with an absolutely stunning feature ceiling made up of gold tiles with marble gleaming alongside the mosaics and mirrors. Also make sure to arrive in style for your Big Day in a 1920’s Rolls Royce!

     

For Bride style – you could choose a 20’s designed wedding dress with lots of beading, sparkle, slim lines and silk topped off with a fabulous headpiece.

         

And for a true Gatsby Groom it’s all about the black (or white!) tuxedo or tails with a bow tie! For inspiration – check out The Great Gatsby Collection at Brooks Brothers and perhaps finish off the look with some art deco cufflinks.

       

To add authenticity of the theme you could incorporate many little details throughout the day.  You could serve your Champagne in vintage coupe glasses instead of flutes; even have a Champagne Tower at your reception! Perhaps add pearls to your table décor and hang them from your chairs for a wonderful and elegant effect – also Ostrich feathers epitomise 20’s glamour so you could incorporate them into your table centres. And for your favours you could opt for decorated art deco favour boxes or mini bottles of Champagne for all your guests.

                           

Have an art deco design running through your invitations and stationary, and then also carried across in your Wedding Cake too – this will finish off the look perfectly! For your evening entertainment you could have a 1920’s styled Jazz or swing band, your First Dance could be Lana Del Ray’s ‘Young & Beautiful’ which is the love song from ‘The Great Gatsby’ film, and then party on Gatsby style into the early hours of the morning!
