Just a quick post today, a sort of mish-mash of art deco bits and pieces I’ve found while poking around the net for content for our site. The theme? Blue!
Now, I myself am quite a superstitious sort, so you’d better believe I had my “something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue” figured out well in advance. But even if you’re not the superstitious kind, there is always something lovely about traditions, no? And that particular wedding tradition is seriously such a perfect way to involve keepsakes/mementos from friends and family in the day itself, and add a bit of color to your bridal look.
And so in my stumblings across the web in search of deco I started keeping a “something blue” file, where I figured I’d throw together some of my favorite art deco blue finds for you 20s-loving brides. So without further ado, a few art deco something blues to inspire!
Today we’re featuring the crystal blue hues of some stunning vintage pieces of art deco aquamarine jewelry. Not only the birthstone for March (happy birthday Marchies!), aquamarine is also the ideal ‘Something Blue’ stone for a bride: versatile, elegant and available in a variety of price points. First up we’ve got this spectacular emerald cut …
A couple things become immediately clear from this Bonwit Teller ad (pulled from a 1929 issue of Vogue Magazine). First of all, there is no downside to the drama of a long, gorgeous cap veil. Even with (maybe especially with) the sleek lines of a 20s style wedding dress. Secondly, can we bring back “gowned” …
I have very few regrets about my wedding day, but one eensy tiny teensy one did pop up after we got all the photos and the video and we were oohing and ahhing over everything and then I looked some more and… umm.. oh. Hey, so… why didn’t anyone tell me my hair looked like …
Finding true vintage art deco pieces is always a treat, but finding well-designed 1920’s style jewelry is also nice (and much, much budget-friendlier). This Kenneth Jay Lane art deco oversized ring is a lovely modern take on a classic style. Architectural details, with an emerald green crystal at the center. (via ShopBop)
