Top Tips for Choosing Your 1920’s Wedding Dress
- Find something that suits your shape and style. You might see the perfect looking Gatsby-style wedding dress but if you’re not comfortable in it then it won’t work for you.
- Take a look at vintage accessories to enhance your 1920’s wedding dress. A beaded headband or the perfect pair of vintage shoes might be enough to turn your simple gown into a dazzling art deco affair.
- If you’ve found a classic design you love then why not ask your designer to add some vintage glamour to your dress? Perhaps they can add some bead draping, or vintage lace trim.
- Think about the time of year you’re getting married – if it’s going to be midsummer you may want to avoid too much heavy embellishment or beading. Try looking at lighter lace options, beading, trims or motifs.
- Start shopping ahead if you can – especially if you have a specific theme in mind. Try to be open minded and if something doesn’t work ask your dressmaker for their advice and alternative ideas for your Gatsby wedding dress – they will be happy to share their knowledge with you.
