How to Design the Ultimate Art Deco Wedding<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Art<\/p>\n

Art Deco is a <\/span>design style<\/a><\/strong> that first hit the scene in the early 1920s. Known for its geometric shapes, bold lines, and rich colors, the design is synonymous with luxury and glamour, reflecting the indulgent air of the era. With a luxurious tone, it\u2019s no wonder that Art Deco design is as popular as ever \u2014 especially for wedding decor.<\/span><\/p>\n

To design your dream Art Deco wedding, start with decor that focuses on glamorous and sophisticated touches. For example, whether you\u2019re hosting a <\/span>backyard wedding<\/a><\/strong> or having an indoor celebration, consider outfitting the space with furniture in sumptuous fabrics such as velvet and sleek, cool-to-the-touch pieces like a glass bar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Geometric prints are the hallmark of this design style, and no Art Deco wedding is complete without a few geometric accents. For something simple, pair gilded silverware with geometric print napkins. For a bigger style statement, create a DIY copper <\/span>geometric wedding arch<\/a><\/strong> or backdrop for a photo booth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Metallics are king when it comes to Art Deco style. Shimmery gold, copper, rose gold, and silver are right at home with this glamorous aesthetic. Drape your tables with gold runners or use silver charger plates to offset white china. In general, neutral shades like grey, cream, and black are a perfect backdrop for these shiny accents. But if you want to add more color, stick to rich, dark jewel tones like emerald and ruby.<\/span><\/p>\n

The style also incorporates a hearty dose of sophisticated vintage items. Look for vintage metallic candlesticks to use as centerpieces. A vintage bar cart can add a hint of whimsy to your cocktail hour and an antique mirror can greet guests in style as they arrive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Art Deco isn\u2019t just about bold lines and rigid, geometric shapes. If you don\u2019t opt for velvet furniture such as dining chairs, velvet napkin rings or velvet tablecloths can go a long way in setting the scene for an Art Deco or <\/span>Art Nouveau<\/a><\/strong> wedding (which is a bit more ornate).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Art Deco Wedding Invitation Wording Ideas<\/b><\/h2>\n

For an Art Deco celebration, the font and phrasing you choose for your <\/span>wedding invitations<\/a><\/strong> (and any event signage) can tie everything together. Look for typography that suits Art Deco style \u2014 fonts with straight, smooth lines and hard edges are a great choice. You can also use fonts with exaggerated curves for a more elegant look.<\/span><\/p>\n

Words matter when it comes to wedding invites. Most Art Deco weddings tend to be sophisticated and black-tie events, but it\u2019s your wedding so you can host it how you want to. If you want a glam wedding, address your invitations using full names and include any professional titles, if applicable. Make sure to include who\u2019s hosting the wedding \u2014 for example, the bride\u2019s parents \u2014 the dress code, and RSVP cards.<\/span><\/p>\n

For more casual affairs or <\/span>minimonies<\/a><\/strong>, you can use first names or nicknames of guests if desired. Don\u2019t forget to include the basics like the time, location, and date of the big day.<\/span><\/p>\n

You may also want to include sayings or quotes in your Art Deco wedding invitation. <\/span>Quotes from The Great Gatsby<\/a><\/strong> can help set the scene for an Art Deco wedding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
