The 1930’s provide a rich fashion history to inspire Wedding Attire.  Wedding Gowns of the time tended to hug a Bride’s body and show off her curves, especially her waist.  Bridesmaid’s dresses could follow a popular trend of the 1930’s with knee-length hemlines, especially if the back of the hem falls lower than the front.  The Groom and his Groomsmen could sport double-breasted jackets, particularly with vertical or horizontal stripes.

The Art Deco movement is a great source of Wedding ideas.  In Art Deco, intense colors capture and celebrate life; a Wedding can reflect this with lively reds and vibrant blues.  Invitations and other Wedding stationery can feature geometric shapes and simple patterns.  The works of such artists as Paul Manship, Grant Wood and Tamara de Lempicka are good starting points.

Celebrities from the 1930’s can also provide inspiration for a Wedding.  Clark Gable, Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire were extremely popular faces from the booming entertainment industry.  Amelia Earhart was famous for her aviation, Noel Coward for his plays and music, Jesse Owens for his track and field gold medals at the Berlin Olympics, and Shirley Temple for warming the hearts of countless moviegoers through the Great Depression.
