Let's take a trip to Long Island's Gold Coast for a Gatsby Inspired Dream Wedding!
The Great Gatsby has always been one of my favorite novels, and with the upcoming release of Baz Luhrmann's take on the classic I am officially in a 1920's frenzy. I thought it'd be fun to throw together some ideas for a 1920's Gatsby Inspired Wedding.
This wedding is everything I loved about the novel. Reading about Jay Gatsby's parties, I remember thinking how magical they must have seemed. And magical is exactly how I would want this wedding. I would stick to art deco colors with a lot of gold, silver, black and white. Decor would be minimal but strikingly beautiful. A live jazz band would play throughout dinner, and waiters would serve speakeasy style cocktails.
I love this letterpress suite from Lucky Luxe Couture Correspondence. I think it would set the tone for guests perfectly. The suite evokes art deco glam with it's understated simplicity and graphic styling. I would change the green in the invitation to a shimmery gold. Naturally, the suite is named "Gatsby".
The coordinating Save the Date is a piece of art, and absolutely frame worthy.
How sweet would it be to customize the couple in the bride and groom's likeness? Much better than a picture magnet, if you ask me.
I can't imagine this wedding taking place any other than Long Island's Oheka Castle. Oheka looks like it was dreamed up by F. Scott Fitzgerald himself. It is the perfect location for a summer soiree. I can see a ceremony in the gardens, cocktail hour outside under the stars, and the reception inside the estate.
Absolutely swoon worthy right? The decor would be 100% glitz and glam. Something along these lines. I love everything about this tablescape; it's beautiful, modern, and classic.
Now, let's talk fashion. I would dress my ladies in a fun 1920's-esque cocktail gown, how beautiful is this one from Sue Wong?
And now - the real star of the show, the BHLD Aiguille Gown. This dress inspired me to write this post. I just couldn't stop thinking about it.
All I would add to this dress would be a touch of bling in the hair, and a killer pair of heels.
And there you have it! My dream Gatsby inspired wedding.I think Zelda would be impressed, don't you?
