If you’ve been following our blog on Natalie K, you’ll already know that celebrity event planner Brian Worely has already named the Art Deco style an upcoming trend for the summer of 2013. With the upcoming release of “The Great Gatsby” the style of the roaring Twenties will be making an elegant reappearance. Gold, pearls, and glitz will make your ceremony and reception sparkle and shine. Here are a few tips to help you recreate the decadent grandeur of the Twenties.

  • Invitations: They need to set the tone for the event; black and white, with embossed geometric gold touches will exude the luxury of the era.
  • Location: Summer time is perfect for a reception out on a grand lawn. Or you can rent out an elegant old mansion with interesting architectural features.
  • The Gown and Bridesmaid’s dresses: There are plenty of vintage finds with art deco details and drop waists. With less detailed dresses cascading pearl necklaces and fur stoles will make the same statement.
  • Head Piece: The perfect feathered fascinator or sparkling headband will offset your delicate finger-waves just right. You-tube has plenty of tutorials.
  • Cake: Gold! With a banquet table of black and white desserts.
  • Groom and Groomsman: Buttoned up vests and wide ties paired with interesting accessories like a pocket watch or flasks will make a statement.
  • Don’t forget the guests: Feathered headbands for all.
  • The Champagne must flow freely!

Don’t forget to match your ceremony with the perfect vintage inspired Natalie K engagement ring or bridal set.

Hot Trends for Summer Weddings

With the temperature rising and Summer weddings right around the corner make your ceremony and reception as hot as your love. Celebrity event planner Brian Worley goes over the trends heating up for the season. “Go Bright!” says Brian, “Weddings that use these bright colors will be a bit more whimsical and have a playful, not-so-serious theme.” Bright floral colors will add a pop, when mixed with linens in contrasting colors and patterned linens. The “Restoration Hardware” trend is also making an entrance, unlike the pop of the brights this is a more rustic approach using browns, ivory, and grey. “It’s about taking something new that has a modern and eclectic twist” Brian says, mixing luxurious furniture pieces with thick and natural textures create a “sturdy, refined and stylized look.” Lastly the “Art Deco” motif is making a splash, a black and white color palette with pearl accents will be the staples of this Roaring Twenties style revival.
