Amalie Loves... Art Deco

The fabulous era of the 1920's is an absolute favourite of mine so I thought I'd share a few design and theme ideas with y'all...

• Beautiful feather table hire decoration from So Lets Party
• Classic posters from the era; could be of films, film stars or gangsters. Similar available from All Posters
• Kick off the theme with feather trimmed wedding invitations from Fairy Godmother Stationary
• Stunning vintage headpiece from Liberty In Love to add a bit of sparkle
• Monogrammed candle favours from We Do Wedding Favours
• Gorgeous Tiffany lamp with dragonfly detail to hire from Event Prop Hire
• Satin T-bar shoes from the fabulous Rachel Simpson Shoes
• Don't leave the boys out with a pin stripped double breasted suit; this one's from Mens USA
• I simply adore this dress from The Vintage Wedding Dress Company
• An art deco mirror bar to serve martini cocktails wouldn't go amiss; hire from Event Prop Hire
• Well you'd have to travel in style of course; I think a vintage Austin 12 Windsor from Heritage Classic Cars should to the trick!

Amalie Inspiration...Yellow and Black Design Theme

For my birthday recently a friend gave me a fab present (gorgeous black clutch if you must know!) which came in one of the loveliest bags I'd seen in ages (see right). Not only did I investigate into where you can buy these lovelies (Bitter and Twisted - such a great name for a company don't you think!) but I was also inspired by the colour scheme; yellow and black.

It's not for every ones taste (vintage being the theme of choice at the moment) but for a modern twist on 1920's art deco colours I started to put the following mood board together...

• Yellow daisy wedding guest book from Wedding Things
• Eco friendly black flower boxes from Blumebox, great idea for when budget is an issue
