Elegant 1920s Theme WeddingA party with vintage glamour written over itDuring the twenties parties were big and loud and that is the feeling of a 1920s theme wedding.
Cocktail parties were the order of the day and martinis the favorite drink, so don't miss this one at the bar.
The colors and setting
The colors for your wedding should be ivory, jade green, nile green, coral, turquoise and/or pale pink.If you are planning on using one color only for the linen but want to give your table some detail, think about using a crochet tablecloth on top of the regular one. I love the idea of reserving the pale pink and ivory for the tables, or coral and ivory for a more dramatic effect, but feel free to conbine these colors any way you want, just don't overdo it or the vintage effect will be lost. You can use floral arrangements in these colors too. White or pale pink roses look wonderful in this setting.

Dressing the part
Your 1920s theme wedding dress should have a very low waistline with a hemline usually shorter in the front than in the back. Consider silk and satin for your dress fabric, which you can also embroider. The low cut was also introduced in the 20's which helped drawing the attention to the jewelry, which included pearls, silver and platinum.
The Menu
Do you have any idea of what types of food were served the 1920s? Believe or not, chinese food was really popular so consider some items for the entree. You could also serve canape of anchovies and/or olives which were common items at parties. Waldorf and Caesar Salad could go with your main course. Striped bass and Lamb medaillon could be options. And don't forget the cake! Just make it match the theme by decorating it with fresh roses (take a look at the picture for inspiration).
