From Jazz to Big Band Sounds to Disco

Moving on, we have the Roaring Twenties with speakeasies and ladies with feather boas. Free-spirited and fun-loving, this era gave us some of the best jazz music of all time. So get out the flapper dresses, long pearl necklaces, and pinstriped zoot suits when attending this 1920s Wedding Theme celebration.

The thirties were all about Art Deco, which would be an excellent idea for an art-style vintage wedding.

For those of you who love to listen to the music of the big bands from the forties, our 1940's Vintage Wedding: A Theme Wedding From The Big Band Era should provide you and your guests with lots of nostalgia and sophisticated elegance.

The fifties gave us rock n' roll, sock hops, and poodle skirts, while the sixties were filled with peace symbols, granny glasses and flowered bell-bottom pants.

The seventies moved us into disco, Night Fever, mini-skirts, hot pants, and open shirts which displayed lots of gold chains and medallions.

The past century has certainly been a wild ride, with changes practically every decade and any one of these decades are an excellent choice when it comes to vintage weddings.

This background information will help as you make decisions on wedding colors, cake style, menu, decorations, favors - and most importantly - your bridal attire for the entire wedding party.
