Roaring 1920's Themed Wedding

That's an awesome Idea! I'd have a big band theme with the music, a classic hollywood premiere party feel! I'm jealous I want that theme!

Hehehehe, Ill get back to you on that. I love the them but I want to have some pics for you too.

I had to think long and hard for a theme! LOL What kind of venue can I have that at? Thanks CelticChick!

Colors: red, black and gold or pink rose, ivory and black

Hope that all helps

I would look for a space that was Art Deco (museums, old buildings, etc.) That type of style was big in the 20's and 30's. For music I would go more for a jazz feel, as big band era was really in the 1040's.

Flapper dresses for your bridesmaids could be very cool, with all of the fringes. Cloche hats (unless it is summer). The guys hair could be slicked back.

Or, since prohibition was still in effect, how about decorate the venue as a speakeasy? With bathtub gin!

I think I was born in the wrong decade!

You could pull off the hollywood look very easy at a hotel. If they have a seperate entrance for their ball rooms maybe you could even have a red carpet and set up some lights if the hotel would let you. Lighting would be a key decor item if you go for the hollywood look. You could also tone down the theme with the more muted colors in a golf course, guardan or other nature like location.

Thanks CelticChick for all of your help!! Great Ideas! Did you ever consider being a wedding planner before? lol Thanks also Lois L. I will look into a museum type venue. You guys are brilliant!

If I feel like if I could pull of the wedding planning I would SOOOOO do it. But I dont think there is really a market for it in my area. I have thought about being the "budget brides wedding assistant" and just fill in where needed or help get things started. That kind of thing and just charge by the project I will be doing. Like putting together DIY invites so the bride can focus on other things. That kind of stuff. I have to think it over later on when I have time to think.

Well, I think that you should, you have such great ideas. I love the wedding dresses.

Feather centerpieces and decor accents. Specialty tables can be decorated with feather boas.

Ohh..I love your idea!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the 20's

You should learn to Charleston, if you don't know already. Check out www.idance.com for online lessons.

If I were making a bigger to-do of my wedding and spending more $, I would have had a 20's theme. Like Lois, I was born in the wrong decade as well.

PS... She was right about the music. Go for vintage jazz rather than big band, which was 40's. Fats Waller is one of my favorite musicians from around then. I can get some other names for you, if you wish. My FH DJs the area swing dances.

Found some wedding images of the theme.. hope it helps!

Check out some great movies for an all over feel of the 1920's-

"Bullets over broadway"

"Sweet and lowdown"

"The cotton club" - this one has some of the best costumes ever! And of course, some really great music and dancing.

Jenni Lynn, those flapper dresses for bridesmaids are to die for!!!! I really love them, think I might have one of them for my bridesmaids!!! I'm so excited! Thanks for all of your ideas everyone!!

Unique Vintage is a site that I drool over all the time

Reasearch! Big band is 40s, classic hollywood is 30s-40's. Art Deco, flappers, are classic 20s. Mob & prohibition/speakeasys are pretty close in period style.

I love Unique Vintage, as well!

Great Theme, Great Ideas! - Celtic Chick - go for it! You just have to find the right nitch.
