Nothing suggests a Great Gatsby wedding theme like a vintage-styled hotel reception. If you want your guests to feel as if they’ve traveled back in time, find a venue that is both jazzy and elegant. 

Selecting a venue with vintage flair and antique ambiance will set the stage for all 1920s wedding themes. Abstract flooring, candlelight, antique-like drapery, and walls covered in intrinsic designs will make guests forget that they’re living in 2021.

The use of gold represents the lavish lifestyle many partook in during The Roaring Twenties. Gold décor was at the center of every celebration in the 1920s, and it was undoubtedly at the center of this Great Gatsby wedding. Click to see how this wedding boldly incorporated gold into every detail, including the centerpieces and tablescapes.

Newport Beach, CA

This wedding reception’s design shone a light on prominent Black men and women from the 1920s era. Each tablescape featured a specific luminary. What an excellent way to get a quick history lesson while socializing. 

This couple made sure that every wedding detail came from inspiration in this era (even the prohibition). We love how guests were provided 20s-theme mocktails, making this wedding as dry as the 1920s. We also adore how the table settings boasted folded napkins that resembled mini white suites with black bow ties.

Los Angeles, CA 

The Great Gatsby wedding themes should employ several extended metaphors — just like the novel. One recurring theme from the novel is nostalgia. It’s certainly a feeling that guests will experience when leaving an epic celebration. 

This wedding perfectly utilized a black and white color scheme. Black and white feathers appeared on every table, highlighted by gold silverware and candle holders. Candles, feathers, curtain tassels, and gold accents created a chic ambiance that complemented the 1920s design elements.

Palm Beach, FL

The Roaring Twenties were captivating, exceptional, and outright historic (to say the least). 1920s wedding themes should be just as grand. This Great Gatsby wedding in Florida greeted guests with impressive feather arches and silver vases overflowing with white feathers. We also love how large glass vases lined the aisle with crystal details and glimmering candles. But that was just the beginning. To wrap up the night, a stunning firework display bid guests farewell.

Miami Beach, FL

1920s wedding themes need lavish details and vibrant lighting. We love how this wedding took these elements to the next level. As soon as guests entered the “burgundy cherry blossom forest” that was projected onto every wall of the venue, they were completely immersed in this spectacular celebration. The wow-worthy moments continued with unforgettable live entertainment. The wedding reception included Gatsby flapper acts, acrobats, lollipop performances, burlesque shows, and a magic act. All this action brought a vibrant energy to the room — the same energy you would have found in The Roaring Twenties.

If you plan to host an epic Great Gatsby wedding, expect your guests to dress to the nines. Although, we all know that all eyes will be on the couple. This bride wore a beautiful beaded gown and polished off the look with a stunning pair of Valentino heels and a vintage faux fur wedding shawl. It was both simple and elegant. If you want to play the part of a 1920s gal, you have to dress the part.

Greenwich, CT

The Great Gatsby took place during a time of new production and wealth. This glittering gold bar area may not take up much space, but it definitely catches our eye and aligns perfectly with The Great Gatsby wedding themes. A counter shaped like a “gold bar” is an incredible way to serve drinks. This Roaring Twenties-themed wedding is detailed with glitter, glam, gold, and imaginative designs — but the shimmering gold bar with vertical Art Deco designs was definitely the cherry on top.

Asheville, NC

We love how each special moment of this wedding night took place in a different environment. A see-through tent with white linen and a white matte satin aisle runner (designed with a modern ombre style) was created to capture the union of the bride and groom. After the ceremony, guests transitioned to a custom gold tent with beautiful drapings. A custom gold and black mirrored bar, crystal-draped chandeliers, and luxe gold chairs highlighted the beautiful diamond-shaped feasting table.

Las Vegas, NV

Upon entering this wedding, guests were greeted by flapper girls who served them their table assignments — a very unique way of providing the seating chart. Names and table numbers were attached to mini Champagne bottles with a cute straw that guests could use throughout the reception. We love how this idea elevates having fun and celebrating (with the same levity seen at a 1920s party).

Orlando, FL

Fans of The Great Gatsby movie will instantly recognize this Art Deco font. Art Deco signage is an important addition to all Great Gatsby wedding themes. This wedding featured an Art Deco sign thanking friends and family for joining the celebration. To show their appreciation, the couple placed mini take-home Champagne bottles around the sign. Signage is important in any wedding, so why not add some Gatsby-style to it?

Palm Beach, FL 

The Roaring Twenties had a glamorous and elegant vibrancy that no other decade acquired.  This Gatsby wedding embodied all that and more.

Moreover, an impressive custom-made reception stage stole the show with its shimmering luxurious fabrics, mirror panels (with so much pizzaz), large gold frames, and crystal chandeliers. Towering urns with gorgeous white feathers and crystal candelabras will elevate the most sensational Great Gatsby wedding themes.

In Jay Gatsby’s world, no party was put on without the presence of creative décor. This wedding incorporated the bright, fluffy feathers into every floral piece (even the bouquet). Next to the green florals, these white feathers popped, creating a beautiful roaring 20s ambiance. Feathers and pampas lined the tables, making the perfect centerpieces. This glamorous Great-Gatsby wedding reminded us that white feathers match with everything.
