Good morning lovelies.
Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby has finally arrived in the UK and I can’t wait to see it.
As much as I love a neutral palette I’ve always been in love with the glamour and sophistication of 1920′s style.

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel conjures up images of romantic summer evenings, outdoor parties with pretty details and after dinner drinks by candlelight.
Here’s a selection of Gatsby-esque styling ideas to get the look.

Last season we, just by accident/chance, decided to tip an wink to the whole “flapper” era, and design a bouquet that reflected the whole vibe of the 1920′s, incorporating into it, feathers & pearls. Then amazingly & very shortly after designing and creating this bouquet, we saw the press and media hubbub about the upcoming film “The Great Gatsby!” How cool is that!?
We think that next year 2014, we are going to see the whole “Gatsby/1920′s/Flapper” theme really take off, because it’s something different, it’s classy, and very elegant, so who wouldn’t want that on the most special day of their life?
I think lots of brides & grooms do want something different from the usual thing on their wedding day, especially brides & grooms who are perhaps marrying for a second time. They feel they want to do something completely different from ‘last time’ so this is going to appeal to the “re-marrying” crowd too, and why not!
Who ever chooses this wonderful theme is going to look and feel amazing!
Long may this trend last and gather popularity!

Hi Andrew! I’m loving the return to glamour and sophistication that’s so popular this year and I too hope it continues into next year and beyond as the 1920′s was such a stylish era. By the way look out for an email shortly.
