For A Great Theme Go Roaring 1920s

A french wedding chateau is a perfect venue for a roaring 1920s wedding.  The 1920s was an era of decadent fun celebration. Jazz was always in the air, the country was prosperous. Girls had the time of their lives wearing shorter hem lines and having cut their hair into a bob.

Coco Channel was all the rage at this time.

Art deco was the rage in the 120s. You can decorate the invitations with art deco design. The inkblot test was made popular during the 1920s, so go ahead and give your guests a test while you invite them to the wedding. Use bold, geometric shapes adorning the invitation page to a 1920s theme wedding

You can also use pictures of the actors and actresses that were made larger than life in the 1920s; people like Rudolph Valentino, and Nita Naldi.

Choosing what to wear for a 1920s theme wedding is the most fun part of decorating. It was filled with wild styles that the wedding party, as well as the guests, can take part in. Flappers come to mind when evoking the styles of the 1920s. The skirts should rest somewhere between the knee and the calf, the hemlines should be a little uneven, and the dress should have a fringe covering of lace that flaps as the bride and the attendants walk down the isle.

Everyone should wear wigs cut in the style of the 1920s. Short bobbed haircuts and Josephine Baker inspired cuts. If not the wigs, then a cloche hat is a must. The Cloche is often made of felt so it can be small and shaped for a close fit to the scalp. The simple hats can be decorated with feathers, bead, and scarves. For a more glamorous look, pearls and diamonds can be used.   Cloche is the french word for bell.

The 1920s were a time of large inexpensive Costume Jewelry that the wedding party, or the guests, can wear. The men should wear zoot suits reminiscent of the gangster look of the 1920s. The suits should be matched with two toned, patent leather pointy shoes.  Think “Have Zoot suit will travel”. 

The 1920s was a time of prohibition so there was no legal drinking.  The whole fun was the way that people got around all the prohibition laws. For your wedding, a major part of the decoration is to duplicate the secretive feel of this era.

Set up a projection of an old 1920s movie to play on the wall to tie in the ambiance of the era. An old Charlie Chaplin silent movie would work well.

Jazz should be the theme of the night. From the beginning of the wedding to the end, play Jazz age greatest musicians like Bessie Smith, Ella Fitzgerald, and Duke Ellington. Whether you hire a jazz band, or blast it from an ipod to speakers, the 1920s theme wedding should be all about Jazz.

You can make Gershwin’s ‘Someone to Watch Over Me’, or a song from one of the many orchestra bands of the time, the theme of the night. Hire a dance instructor to teach dances like the Charleston, Fox-trot and the shimmy.

Citroen Tractions make great gangster cars and fantastic photographic opportunities.

Flapper dresses, cloche hats, zoot suits, Gershin and a vintage cars for transport to the chateau all add that special wow factor to your french wedding

By integrating as many of the popular styles and music of the era as possible, your Roaring 1920s theme wedding will by a huge hit with your guests and not soon forgotten and all your guests will want to have their very own wedding in France at a chateau.
