Get that 20's look for your wedding.

The 1920’s were an era of change. Jazz and ragtime music came into vogue; new modes of dance including the Charleston and Shimmy were introduced. But the biggest change was in fashion. Women wanted to dress their way and not by the dictates of society. Bold women began wearing nude stockings in place of black wool stockings, dresses became sleeveless and jewelry became an ever-present accessory.

Necklaces, pins, rings and brooches came into style. Art Deco pieces were the most prominent type of jewelry during this period and incorporated prominent circles, rectangles and squares. Another example of Art Deco jewelry are the beaded necklaces, especially the multi-layered look.

Get the 1920’s look with short or long strands of pearls, Art Deco inspired rings, necklaces and other pieces. For a formal look, try a hair brooch or pin (fascinators), close-fitting headpieces or perhaps a birdcage veil for that special day. Hair accessories often displayed ostrich feathers for a glamorous, sultry look. Brooches and pins were often worn on a simple-styled dress at the middle of the neckline or to the side of the dress.
