A Great Gatsby wedding is one of the most ideal themes for weddings this year. Wedding florals elevate the sophistication and romance of every wedding. BobbyMark’s Designs executes every Great Gatsby floral design.
Great Gatsby floral design:
The most magical part of designing florals for Great Gatsby themed weddings is the freedom. Many Great Gatsby brides and grooms choose gold, white, and black for their main colors. However, you can use any color really.
Classically, 1920s weddings are black tie or a traditional, formal dress code. So, this era goes hand-in-hand with simplistic colors such as creme or white, gold, and black. Our Great Gatsby bride chose Homewood for her roaring twenties venue.
She loved the wood floors and walls. The rustic chandeliers and inviting bar caught her eye for floral placement. She asked if a Great Gatsby wedding could have burgundy, gold, and navy blue as opposed to the more classic colors- the answer is yes!
Just because you choose a historical time period wedding theme does not mean it cannot be revamped. BobbyMark’s Designs encourages personalization for every floral design detail. For a winter wedding, the deep, romantic colors are exquisite.
The bridal bouquet was timeless with warm and cool colors. Our bride chose to have a tight bouquet rather than a waterfall bouquet, a 1920s trend. It did have some movement and height although the bridal bouquet was not as relaxed as bohemian bouquets.
She did not want to hide any part of her dress as she walked down the aisle. Her tasteful bouquet incorporated blush roses, creams, whites, blue berries, red berries, and foliage.
Up above:
Floral designs should compliment the venue at every height. Eye level is just one height to focus on. Chandeliers create the optimal eye travel. Guests should never be stuck to looking down, ahead, or above. A captivating floral design teams creates an experience in every direction- north, south, east, and west.
When sitting at dinner, guests should have at least a decent vision of the person across the table. If they cannot see the people sitting directly across from them, this should be approved by the bride and groom. A Great Gatsby theme often ties in feather, pearl, and crystal elements. Done right, lush florals and ritzy candelabras bring the vision to life.
Right in front of you:
There are two popular routes for Great Gatsby table decor. The first option is to go glamorous with gold, sheen candelabras dripping with pearls and crystals. Atop the large floral arrangements feathers gracefully shoot out. BobbyMark’s Designs works for all brides. Here, we managed to give the bride what she wanted while staying in budget.
Large ostrich feathers pour out well over the guests’ standing height. When sitting, guests can look up directly above them and see the feathers hanging over their seats. This extravagant vision brings every go-to 1920s element together.
Alternatively, millennials are melting over trendy, geometric shaped candle holders combined with floral designs. Metal and natural elements contrast leaving guests captivated. Plus, wedding cakes are becoming a grander focal point by paring geometric cake stands with crisp Art Deco fondant designs. Clear and acrylic elements are also catching on like wildfire for the Great Gatsby theme.
Center of attention designs:
Chair bows with delicate floral accents on the back of acrylic and vintage chairs bring a Great Gatsby wedding into the 21st century. A unique Great Gatsby wedding longs for textures. For an idyllic eye catching sweetheart table, rent a vintage, velvet loveseat and surround it with a plethora of florals. Our bride chose to use a vintage loveseat for her bridal portraits.
All budget florals:
For any budget, the aisle decor can be reused to upgrade the sweetheart table, photo floral wall, or cake table. Additionally, a great option is to display the bridal bouquet centered on the sweetheart table. Loose or confined, crystals play off of candlelight like a painting. They also can be scattered on every table to create an opulent sparkle.
Bobby Hill has dainty, luxurious Swarovski crystals to sweetly make a floral arrangement shine. This can be done in bridal bouquets, bridesmaids bouquets, flower crowns, boutonnières, and just about every other flower in sight.
