Teasing and tempting little peeks of the new Baz Luhrman Great Gatsby film, being made next door in Australia, have started to appear on the world wide web and I for one can not wait!
Carey Mulligan, the with her ever chic hair in a bob, as the effervescent Daisy Buchanan and Leonardo Dicaprio in the dapper lead….. ohhhh it has me squealing with excitement and feeling all inspired! The Great Gatsby, set in 1922, is inextricably linked to Art Deco…..
Gold Dress by Candice Konya via Style Me Pretty, Cloth Bound ‘The Great Gatsby’ book – CB Smith, Gramophone Image via Photo Dictionary, Vintage typewriter via The Silver Pen, Art Deco Art from Flickr via Pinterest, Jazz Age Hair - BHLDN, Time to Drink Champagne – Not Cot via Pinterest, Target Brownie – Wedding Bee
To capture the glamour and the decadence of the Deco era I chose a simple but effective palette of Gold, Ivory and Black…..
Feather Fan via Love My Dress, Flower Girl Headdress – Jannie Baltzer via Love My Dress, Table Numbers – Hello Lucky, Deco Dress - Topshop, Table Setting from Style Me Pretty, Bracelet – Jenny Packham Onda III, Vintage Car via Style Me Pretty, Vintage Travel Cases – Victoria Station on Tumblr, Lace Headband - Erica Elizabeth Designs, Groom via Style Me Pretty, Art Deco Cake - Superfine Bakery via Wedding Chicks, Telephone via Style Me Pretty, Invitation – Deco by Bella Figura
Art Deco was such a lavish and ornamental style this rich and swanky colour palette works perfectly. For details think feathers, ellaborate beading, headbands and linear symmetry in designs, decorations and jewellery.
There are a number of designers that immediately spring to mind for the bride’s dress, Johanna Johnson and her 2012 Collection The Luxor, being the first!
The Amory, with little decoration is all about the cut and the sumptuous swathes of material…..
Or for something strapless and a little more elaborate and glitzy, The London……
Or for a little bit of both The Odetta……
I think it’s fair to say any one of Johanna Johnson dresses from the Luxor collection would be perfect - and don’t forget JJ is now available on line from her e-boutique.
And when I was looking for an art deco inspired gown back home in the UK, who should I turn to but of course Jenny Packham with her deliciously Deco dresses, like The Imari……
Or The halterneck Luna…..
(Jenny Packham is stocked in Helen Rodrigues, Elle and Le Louvre in Australia and her accessories are all available online at Jenny Packham)
How gorgeous does that headband look with Luna?? It just finishes off the look. I adore Jenny Packham Accessories!
The fabulous Karen Willis Holmes also has a couple of Art Deco inspired designs in her collection, including the lovely Samantha with its belted waist……
And the shimmering, drop waisted Keisha……
(Temperley Bridal is stocked exclusively in Australia by Helen Rodrigues)
Or Kristene from Claire Pettibone with its teardrop shaped train……
Baz Luhrman’s film can’t be released quickly enough for me

Everything is so divine, I don’t know which dress I love more!! Thanks for the pin-spiration!
Thank-you Julia
I know – I wore Jenny Packham so I feel a loyalty for her gorgeous designs, but Johanna Johnson’s Luxor Collection has completely stolen my heart….. but having said that I am smitten with lace at the moment….. Lucky brides-to-be to have such a difficult decision!! x
Gorgeous Post!
Merci
You’re welcome – so glad you like it

Thank-you Eva – me too
I’m a huge fan of Vintage style weddings, but I really feel Aust doesn’t have the resources for a bride to recreate such a wedding. If you look at all the different companies online in the UK supplying for this market, we have been left behind. I am currently looking for a gramophone hire company that will supply a gramophone and 78 records but there is no such company, at least I haven’t found one. I do like the fact that you have featured a lot of gorgeous vintage effects…we need more in Aust.

Thanks for the comment. I agree, it is (at the moment at least) much harder to find vintage finishing touches for a wedding, but don’t despair because I also know these vendors do exist….somewhere!
I am going to put a call out on Facebook to see if anyone can help with your Gramophone and I will let you know!
I’ve found one (thus far). I’m actually establishing a hire business myself and I’m so glad I came across your post. I’ll do my best to source some Deco pieces, as I’ve mainly concentrated on vintage cake stands, as I’ve found them to be lacking in the hire market too.
Here is the website I found with gramophone hire:

As for the records, you might have to try eBay.
All the best,

Oooh Sarah that’s such exciting news! There’s definitely a hole in the market for Vintage hire. Where will your hire business be based??
Thanks so much for the info on the gramophone, well found!
Best wishes – and please stay in touch!
