1920's Weddings

1920's Wedding

The age of many who started with nothing and build a family, home, career overcame adversity to begin their own lives.  It does't sound any different then today or does it?

From POP Culture to weddings today the changing times left people of this generation not knowing where or how they would survive.  They battled in war, were hungry and had to come up with the thoughts of might men.  Woman were liberated as they had to survive without their loved ones while they fought at war. How did this affect weddings? Just like all generations they were influenced by literature and the love of reading.  They romance of after war celebrations with the Great Gatsby and the celebration of movies.  This generation of adults faced the unknown.

There is nothing as fun as a Greta Garbo wedding.  In modern times we get the romance of the 20's with the connivence of our modern times.

 However, strict beliefs of some of the families did not always believe in the romance of the time. Some weddings got very practical.  Marry my daughter or else. 

While Pop culture is fun to live through and experience wedding planners have to understand the bride and her era.  In order to create the wedding she desires. 

  Is she like Jackie Kennedy who was marring her prince in Camelot? A dream come true and her perfection as a woman at the time endured though all things to make her one of the most amazing survivors of my childhood.  We watched her as she lived her life out.  Her fairy tale wedding didn't have the happy ending she had hoped for.

Non the less their are also other princess in other cultures. Many cultures have princesses. Japanese culture is just one of them they treat their women with respect and honor because of what she is to her family.  The importance of a mother in the culture means that the dad or father helps teach the children not only to respect her but also to honor her.

Each culture and individual has the right to bring up their family as they choose.  

Stationary along with invitations kept the dream of the princess with her beautiful dress and long train a reality

 Some or the stationary of the time showed all the feminine treats of the era. 

The bride and the bridegroom and his love for her allowing her to be herself.

Wedding Veils also displayed  or showed a reverence for her beliefs. Long or short it spoke of the woman's belief, her taste and how she saw things.

The desire a woman has to be Beautiful for her husband has not changed.  What has changed is how beauty is defined.  The things that were beautiful in the 20's does not mean it is beautiful today,

                                          Today's bride is decisive.  Tech savvy a little more knowledgable about the world with it at her fingertips.  They are brought up with knowing how to do things the generations before did not have to know.  The one thing that both can have in common is belief systems, religion, faith, or relations.  What type of bride do you want to be?

 

There are venues that caterer to this type of weddings.  1920's wedding in modern times.  I will post pictures later.
