Drawing inspiration from decades past creates a unique and personable wedding, with all of the glam vintage details can offer, with plenty of room for modern touches.

If you’re considering using this era as your source for inspiration for your bridal look, here are just a few things you can use to bring the 1920s into the 2010s.

Your dress: easily one of the most important details of your wedding, you will have plenty of options for a 1920s inspired wedding gown. The most popular silhouettes are the dropped waist, dramatic and plunging backs, and plenty of beading and lace. Embellishments such as sashes or brooches also complete the look for this era. With the increased popularity of this style in the fashion industry, practically every designer has released a line featuring iconic 1920s silhouettes, which means you’ll have plenty of options.

Pin curls are great for any length of hair, not just a bob, and can be translated into an up-do just as easily. If you want to get the look, you’ll need the right tools: flat irons can help you achieve the look you want on your big day, and what better gift to yourself, or to a bride, than the best in the market. ghd flat irons are by far the best hair styling tool, and the special edition ghd Scarlet Collection is perfect for the occasion. Drawing it’s inspiration from the same era, the flat iron comes with a stylish case, or clutch, in red satin with art deco details. Complete the look with a fascinator or headband to really make a statement.

Your accessories: the 20s was all about accessories; from necklaces to hair pieces, there are plenty of details you can incorporate into your wedding day look. When considering accessories, think layered pearls, rhinestone combs or brooches, feathered fascinators and more. Just remember, less is always more, and a simple look can compliment any bride. Choose a focal piece, whether it’s your hair piece or several strands of glistening pearls, to avoid the risk of it looking more like a costume. Keep it classy and use the era as inspiration for your look, including your own personal touches to express your own style.
