How To Throw The Perfect Great Gatsby Wedding

How To Throw The Perfect Great Gatsby Wedding

Glamorous weddings are all the rage at the moment and a popular choice for wedding themes over the last year or so is the Great Gatsby. It’s classy, it’s fun and it just works.

As a massive fan of the film and the clothing they wear, I think it’s a great theme to choose and you can have so much fun with it.

In this blog, we will look at ways to make your wedding day more “Gatsby” and what finer details you can add to make it feel even more glamorous. The main colours for this theme are black, gold and white and there are a whole host of things you can source easily for this.

Let’s begin with the clothing though. For the ladies, it’s all about sparkle, glimmering and headwear. Pearls and Art Deco designs are the perfect blend for a Gatsby theme and a headpiece that features both of these is definitely a winner. A feather fascinator or headband will also look great. Your bridesmaids will need to get in on the action too for it all to blend and drop waist dresses are great for this.

The groom and groomsmen will look the part in sharp black suits and bow ties, will some gold accents thrown in for good measure. For the era, they should also consider having pocket watches and/or some hipflasks.

The cake and the catering need some thought too. You can have some serious fun with the food and can make it match the theme, especially the deserts. Cupcakes made to look Art Deco with black and white colours, will be perfect on a table on their own. The wedding cake itself should feature a lot of gold – it’s only right. The food or catering itself can be as fancy as you wish. Oysters, caviar, you name it, you can have it.

The accessories for this will make up a larger part of the wedding than other themes as you can include vintage suitcases, old cameras, and tables littered with pearls, sequined table cloths and if your budget allows for it, a champagne waterfall feature with glasses stacked on top of one another.

There is no boundary to how lavish you make your day when choosing this theme, so have fun with it and make your day shine!
