INSPIRATION: GILDED GLAMOUR WITH A TWIST

By

Rich, romantic and sumptuous, Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby took a very literal approach to the Golden Age. And whether you loved the flick or hated it, I think we can all agree the set and costumes were breathtakingly lush. The movie totally captured the glitz and glamour of the roaring twenties with lavish amounts of gold thrown in for good measure.
Personally, it was a total eye opener for me. I’ve never been into dripping myself or my surrounding in gold – and never on a Gatsby scale. I’ve always steered clear of anything I deemed OTT, and well, trashy. But now I’m seeing things in a new light and I’ve realized a few touches of OTT won’t totally kill a design – it can make it.
While The Great Gatsby kicked off my journey of enlightenment, it was scouring the web for this inspiration board that really had me convinced that gilded glamour could be a beautiful and elegant thing. It even inspired me to included a few off our own bridesmaid dresses (in orderTiana, Meryl, Carlotta, Anika) that I think would look incredible with this trend.

“Beautiful. It was the Augusta Jones Lois gown from Brides of Beecroft. Relaxed chic, stylish bias cut lace wedding gown with a V neck that is mirrored front and back. Soft tulle wraps around from the front to become flowing ties on the back (one of the main reasons I feel in love with the gown). The neckline, hem and train are all edged with a lace scallop. It was the only dress that I didn’t want to change a thing on. I also changed into a gold sequin floor length dress half way through the ceremony. This was my party dress. I toyed with the idea of wearing a gold sequined wedding dress but didn’t want to regret not wearing a more traditional gown. My mum found my gold dress while I was changing out of my wedding dress. I fell in love with it and was lucky enough to be able to wear both.”

CHIC IDEAS FOR WEDDING NAILS

Imagine this: in 20 years you’re flicking through your wedding photos, it’s all pastels and white – except for your burgundy nails. Yep, with your wedding dress as a backdrop, bright nails will stand out big time. So if you don’t want you and your maids’ fingers to be the centre of attention, I think it’s a good idea to skip the brights and go for pastels and neutrals. But that doesn’t mean they have to be a bore!

“I wanted something each guest would keep, so 5-6 months prior to the wedding I began growing over 100 succulents. I planted these in mini pots and tied thank you cards around it with gold and white twine. My sister created the thank you cards. The succulents doubled as place cards.”
