1920s Wedding Theme
Are You Looking For A Fun Wedding Idea? Consider A 1920s Wedding Theme!
If you are looking for fun wedding that your guests aren’t
likely to forget soon, maybe you should consider a 1920s wedding
theme. But be warned—this type of wedding party is not for the
faint-at-heart!
Just what exactly is a 1920’s wedding theme? Think about The
Great Gatsby (remember all those gangsters in Wing Tip shoes?).
Ostrich feathers, dresses shorter in the front and longer in the
back, and jazz were all part of this era.
Sounds like it might be the perfect wedding for you? Great! Read
our basic formula for a 1920’s wedding theme that you can start
planning today!
First, you’ll need to think about your invitations. These will set
the theme for the party, so you’ll want to make sure that they are
eye-catching. You could look for a vintage invitation, or you
could be really unique and include a homemade CD with a selection
of 1920s jazz to get your guests in the mood for the event.
One way to liven up your party would be to ask your guests to
dress as one would in the 1920’s. Can you imagine a room full of
people in silver dresses, Zoot suits, long strings of beads, and
feather headbands?
Next, you’ll need to look for a location to hold your wedding
party. With decorations, you should be able to transform just
about any building into a jazz nightclub. Think silver, red and
streaming ribbons!
You’ll need to organize certain events that will set the mood for
your event. Since the music will be different than most people are
used to hearing, you might consider hiring a dance instructor to
teach a few moves from the era. Swing dancing and the Charleston
were popular forms of dance in the 1920’s. In addition, you could
have a dance contest at the end of the evening to see who learned
the most number of moves!
The brides dress and groom’s suit are other important factors for
a 1920’s theme wedding party. You will want to look the part,
especially since your guests will be dressed for the occasion. The
bride could wear a dress that is short in the front and long in
the back—a style common to this era. Instead of a veil, you could
wear a headband, complete with ostrich feather. In addition, you
should consider pearls—lots of them!
The groom also has many choices with a 1920’s style wedding theme.
The most fun (and most outrageous) would be a Zoot Suit. These
were the craze in the 1920’s and would complete the look, if the
groom was willing! Pinstripes were also popular during this time
if the groom wasn’t that brave.
For your photographs, you should think about having them done in
black and white so that they will go well with the vintage dress
and decor of the wedding hall.
Finally, you should consider topping off the evening by leaving
for your honeymoon in a 1920’s vintage car. If you check around,
you should be able to find one of these for rent. Hire a driver
dressed in vintage costume for that final effect.
By having a 1920’s theme wedding party, your guests will likely be
talking about it for years to come!
