Inspired By: The Great Gatsby

With Downton Abbey moving into the '20s, and The Great Gatsby, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan, in post production, I'm willing to bet there's going to be a surge in art deco inspired weddings.  Big bands will play, champagne will flow into saucers instead of flutes, and brides will wear vintage inspired gowns.  Luckily these items are readily available.

One of my favorite places to ogle vintage engagement rings is Erstwhile Jewelry.  Their shop and blog feature unique pieces for both bridal and everyday wear.

BHLDN is a fabulous source for vintage inspired gowns designed by Anna Sui, Catherine Deane,  and Va Et VienAlfred Angelo (above) and other designers, such as Carol Hannah (a former Project Runway contestant), offer beautiful gowns with a whisper of the past in their lines.
