1930's Weddings Theme


What are you into, cars, home, family, board games. This is the era for you.  The war was over 
America's were trying to rebuild. Power was about finding who you were and building a family a home and living out life the beat you could.  Food was become commercial along with other products, woman were making a living out of homemaking.

Wedding was on upswing as soldiers and others began to heal from the devastation of the war.  Populations was growing.  Getting back to the basics.

 Transportations was by car and couples strived to own a home and a car. 
Romantic to think of the beautifulness of the era. Today's 1930s wedding is a wedding couple who have the same goals in mind.

In contrast to originals 1930's today's couplets believe that they can and will achieve things that their parents never did.
 
Weddings were big, grand and celebrations were speaking of.   Gossip was all the talk about society, Jackie Kennedy and others were talked about and people mingled as they were thankful their man were home and save.
Designer dresses were back in. Movies, fun with family and friends. Dinner parties.  What do you enjoy to do with your finance?  Look in the history books and see what the era was doing.  One of my favorites is "Look Magazine" it was the ability to look into the lives of the eras!   
                   
  Know what you want. 
 Cultures can play a part in who and what you and your couple choose.
Prince claim your princes ride off to married romantic bliss! 
Hair pieces are a choice that help create the era.  
 Be sure to include the romance to your marriage with the appropriate loungewear.

Be sure to keep it real with the times and the romance of the past!
 Lighting in the room can also help with adding a place setting for each person you invite.

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.
