25 Art Deco Wedding Ideas for a Jazz Age–Inspired Celebration

Let’s be real: When you get carried away, some wedding themes can become gimmicky. And when done repeatedly, well, they can ring tiresome and unoriginal. The Roaring '20s theme, a trend since 2013, when the latest movie version of The Great Gatsby hit the big screen, should have made its way to the annals of history by now. Yet the glitz, glamour, and overindulgence endure.

That said, we hold a special place in our hearts for the timeless allure of the Art Deco wedding. Though dubbed the lost generation, the artists of the era were certainly on to something—the arresting designs full of distinctive silhouettes, sharp geometry, and extravagance still stands the test of time—and as today’s brides have proved, it doesn’t lose these eternal qualities when thrown into a soirée in the name of love. If anything, Art Deco influences in weddings have evolved into more subtle touches, often receiving a modern refresh that only enhances its charismatic aesthetic.

A classic black-and-gold palette will always hit the right notes, but so too does a smoky gray resin with lavish accents or bright white, greenery, and some gilded glitz and glam. Geometric décor is still getting a lot of attention in a clean, modern palette—use it to your advantage with gold triangles or diamonds as a ceremony backdrop or hanging centerpiece to evoke the strong, bold lines of the period. Break out the 1920s typography on your paper goods and signs for a realistic feel, subtle vintage accessories like a bar cart or candle holders, and the flappers’ drink of choice: champagne. And don’t forget to ride off into the night in your vintage getaway car!
