Roaring 20's Wedding



I knew this wedding would be fabulous from the moment I started working with the bride to be. The bride and groom decided to go the more intimate wedding route, choosing a roaring 20's theme! Though this wedding was on a smaller budget, it was not lacking in style! This fun crowd had a blast dressing in 20's fashion, and partying the night away. The wedding was held at the bride's sister's house, which was a perfect fit, being an early twentieth century home.


We used the foyer to accommodate the guest book area, along with many vintage furniture accents to create the 20's feel from the moment you walked through the door.



The tables were adorned with oil lamps and arrangements of peacock feathers and art deco accents. They added a bit of the Speak Easy Tavern feel to the reception time.



The bride carefully chose her gown, shoes, and jewelry to
all reflect her style as well as the period she was representing. She completed the outfit with bright red lipstick and a 20's styled hairdo. It was brilliant.




I designed an old time Candy Store using period sweets on a sideboard.



Guests had been asked to come dressed in 20's style, but for anyone who needed a few more touches to their outfits (or just for the kids to play dress up) we had a few extra accessories on hand.


We used silver painted sticks to create an altar area for the bride and groom. We lighted the sticks and hung crystals to give a more enchanted effect. And, of course, being the 20's, the peacock feathers couldn't be left out!



It was so fun to see how everyone participated in the theme of the wedding and truly had a blast celebrating...20's style!




Special thanks to Laura Redd for helping me make this event one to remember!

    1. Hey Heather! I love collecting vintage finds, and usually can use them in several different types of settings and events. They have a class that is timeless, so when I see them at thrift stores, yard sales, or antique stores for a good deal, I don't hesitate! The only problem is finding room for it all! :)
