Vintage Wedding Dresses & Accessories
Fashion in the 1920s embraced the frivolous party lifestyle that blossomed in defiance of the prohibition era. Take inspiration for your art deco wedding gown from the beautiful ‘flapper’ dresses, luxurious furs and silks, draping fabric and glamorous embellishments. There are so many options!
Many designers, inspired by the roaring 20s, have released bridal collections aimed at those wanting an art deco wedding. Whether you choose to purchase a vintage-style dress, have one custom designed for you, or go with a real, vintage gown, you’re sure to look spectacular, darling!
To finish off your glamorous look, match your accessories to your dress. Look at jewelled headpieces and headbands, strands of pearls and classic shoes for a vintage look from head-to-toe.
If you’ve bought a vintage or off-the-rack dress, you’ll want to ensure you have it altered to perfectly fit your body.

Vintage Wedding Bouquets
Compared to a traditional wedding bouquet, you can really have some fun with a vintage floral arrangement. To capture the feel of a 1920s wedding, include ribbons, feathers and plenty of greenery, such as ferns and leaves, in your bouquet.
Large bouquets were very common, as were tear-shaped designs. Drape ribbons and strings of flowers from the bouquet, or partner your arrangement with a flower crown!
If flowers aren’t your thing, or your favourite blooms aren’t in season, try a vintage hand-held fan for a unique twist. Some brides ditch the bouquet all together and carry an embellished clutch.
Although DIY bouquets are fun to make, a florist will be able to capture the feel of your vintage wedding perfectly.
You can find a crafty florist on LocalSearch.
Final Vintage Touches
So, you’ve got your dream Gatsby-themed dress and matching bouquet, but what about the rest of your wedding?
To create a real roaring 20s shindig for your reception, hire a live big band or jazz musician to get the party started. Your guests are sure to love the swingin’ music and it will make sure you feel like you’ve really stepped back in time.
And as for your transportation, you can’t go wrong with a classic hire car to drive away from your wedding, dreaming of the fantastic day and night you had as a 1920s starlet.
