The Great Gatsby/twenties wedding theme has been the biggest we've seen this year by far, and judging by the amount of our Long Island invtiation samples that have been dispatched in the last couple of weeks, I think it's safe to say that this look will be sticking around for a while yet. It's really no wonder this elegant and classic look is so popular for weddings, it's just so super glamorous.

The key to this look is pure elegance.

There's really no excuse not to go all out with the dresses for this look. Both the bride and her maids are going to look stunning in luxurious flapper dresses, variations of which can be found on the high street at affordable prices. This isn't strictly a monochrome theme but colour must be used wisely, you don't want anything too bold, I personally think that golds, mints and pinks work best.

Try to keep shoes and hair as vintage as possible to really pull off this look. Ask your hairdresser and makeup artist about the best twenties up-dos and makeup looks and look out for intricate vintage details in shoes & other accessories such as beads, pearls or sparkles.

Feathers will make a really beautiful addition to your Gatsby styled day and can be easily sourced from places like Etsy, who have a wide variety of size, shape and colour. There are lots of ways in which you can incorporate flowers into the day, you could ask your florist to mix some into your bouquet to give a lovely soft touch and tall feather table centrepieces will stand out beautifully. If you would like to wear feathers within your outfit, there are lots of options for dresses or fascinators featuring feathers which will look absolutely stunning.

If you're going for the Gatsby theme and want to go all out to impress your guests, a champagne tower is a must - it certainly will make a big statement & will be a great talking point for the evening.

Wedding stationery is playing a very big role in the decor of lots of modern weddings, keeping your entire day running smoothly. Apart from the obvious function of inviting all of your guests and making sure that everybody has responded in good time, your stationery will also help guide your guests through the day without a hitch.
