Inspiration || Metropolis

By

Sometimes I forget how influential the art around Fritz Lang’s 1927 film Metropolis was (and is). So much incredible, inspirational art deco/modernist art sprang up around it. The fonts! The design! The posters!

To be fair, that futurist look might be a little dark for some weddings (unless they are dystopian or robot themed weddings, in which case: you are awesome) but there are gorgeous elements in this art to inspire and expand on for any 20s themed wedding. (Especially color-wise, those gold and greens are gorgeous, no?)
