30 Roaring 1920s Great Gatsby-Inspired Wedding Dresses

Dare we say that the Roaring Twenties are one of our favorite style decades? The glitz, the glamour—the era was all about decadence and liberation, and the fashion of the time was no exception. The flappers’ swinging silhouettes were inspired by the bold patterns that marked Art Deco and surrealism, jazz music, and Egyptian motifs (thanks to the discovery of King Tut’s tomb). And that's why we're obsessing over 1920s-inspired wedding dresses. On one end of the fashion spectrum were loose and shapeless chemise dresses—with dropped waists, feathers and fringe, beading and sequins, sparkling embroidery, and exquisite detailing—while cowl draped silk satin bias cuts marked the other end. It was the first time opulence met the free spirit, coming together for wild elegance.

Whether these current designs are a subtle nod to the Jazz Age or full of head-to-toe flapper pizzazz, their vintage touch is, ironically, timeless. There’s a reason why 1920s-inspired wedding dresses are still in vogue. Bridal trends may come and go, but the allure of the 1920s continues to influence designers today.

A few fun ways to incorporate 1920s style into your wedding:

• Set the theme with your invitations by adding metallic details and Art Deco structure.
• Opt for metallic and jewel-toned colors at your reception.
• Add little details such as setting up a vintage bar cart or using a typewriter as your guest book.
