I've been a busy bee lately with the start of wedding season, however, I've really got to take the time to to talk about an emerging genre within vintage wedding design. It is called "Art Nouveau" and it hails from the very early 20th century. What makes this genre so stylish is the craftsmanship of the furniture, and the originality of the art.
For this type of wedding, bright colors mixed with pastels work perfectly! I like teals, yellows, peaches and mint green. Stained glass windows or Art Nouveau advertisements would be a source of inspiration.
I absolutely love the fonts of this era. They are bold and yet intricate, which would really make your invitations stand out. Incorporating a swirling frame or an Art Nouveau figure (such as a peacock)would be fabulous.
The fashion from this era is so stylish. I love the idea of large costume jewelry, unique head pieces and chic, lace wedding dresses that drape perfectly. Of course, the gentlemen would look
Finally, I have to say that the event design for this genre of wedding would be so fun! Can you imagine all the props you could use to set the tone of the event? Cool furniture, ornate broaches mixed in with lush flower centerpieces, gramophones, old cameras, stained glass windows as backdrops...ahhh it would be so lovely.
I truly hope that I've inspired!
