Art Deco-Inspired Wedding Dresses 

There are many bridal looks to choose from and one bridal style that stands the test of time is Art Deco! The Art Deco design movement was popular in the 1920s and 1930s and experienced a resurgence in the wedding world after The Great Gatsby movie debuted in 2013. Keep reading to see what makes Art Deco wedding dresses so spectacular! 

Set apart by their geometric elements of design and opulence, Art Deco wedding dresses are an excellent choice for the bride with a vintage yet glamorous bridal style. Art Deco gowns often feature beading, metallic embellishments or threading, geometric shapes and long lines or streamlined silhouettes. To see even more vintage wedding gowns, check out our blog post about Vintage Wedding Dresses Through the Ages. 

Art Deco and modern wedding dresses focus on clean lines (think sheath, column and fit-and-flare styles). Where they differ is that Art Deco and vintage bridal gowns tend to have an abundance of detail, whether from beading, linear styles of lace, metallic threading or all of these elements combined.  

Many of today’s modern wedding dresses have fewer or no embellishments and may be more trendy than timeless. For the bride who wants an Art Deco look for the modern age, our True Crew will help you find a gown that combines elements of each look. 

Now that we’ve covered the basics of Art Deco wedding dresses, it’s time to see the exquisite details in action! Keep reading to learn more about the True Crew’s top five favorite 1920s and 1930s-inspired wedding dresses for the bride with a vintage bridal style! 

Nothing says Art Deco like a beaded wedding dress! An all-out glamorous affair, Martina Liana Luxe Style LE1185 is a luxurious wedding dress with an intricate vintage-inspired beaded design. In classic couture fashion, the elegant fit-and-flare wedding dress has delicate, shimmering spaghetti straps and a soft, sweetheart neckline outlined in brilliant beading.  

The ornate graphic design speaks to the Art Deco aesthetic and draws the eye to the natural waist before gliding down the body’s curves and cascading into a sweeping train for an impeccable fit. This captivating wedding dress offers every opulent detail for the high-fashion bride who loves vintage dresses. 

The boho bride can still pull off a vintage bridal look with a nod to the Art Deco era. The All Who Wander inesa gown features delicate, linear lace-trimmed shoulder straps and a flattering V-neckline. A semi-sheer bodice highlights the figure with a sexy corset-style fit supported by underwire and boning.  

Fabric-covered buttons down the back provide that classic nod to bridal style. From the fit-and-flare silhouette, the natural hourglass shape opens into a layered vintage-inspired train of lace and tulle for an enchanting finish. 

Graphic lace gives this oh-so-bridal style that Art Deco touch! Stella York Style 7394 is a beautiful blend of classic bridal beauty and modern design. The plunging V-neckline is accented with organic edges from the graphic lace, with beaded straps providing sparkling support. Sheer details in the bodice add a sexy but elegant touch, showing off some skin and the beautiful details of the lace embroidery.  

At the back, the delicate straps come together to create a striking look. The fit-and-flare silhouette beautifully highlights the body’s natural curves with layers of tulle creating volume and a touch of drama. The embroidered lace motifs cascade down the skirt, creating a cohesive look complete with scalloped edges at the hem of the train. 

If you love lace and vintage glamour with a touch of modern luxury, Essense of Australia Style D3488 may be your gown. Swathed in beautifully beaded scrolling and linear lace, this dazzling dress accentuates the figure with a body-skimming fit-and-flare silhouette.

From the natural waist, the vertical beaded graphics conclude in an oh-so-romantic lace-trimmed scalloped train.
