Going Beyond the FashionNewlyweds aren’t just falling in love again with the styles, they are also in love with what the fashion represents. The decadence and merriment of the era make it the perfect model for a wedding. The style of 20’s fashion is very romantic. Lace and pearls give off a certain elegance and charm, which fits a bride’s fantasy of fairytale. Not only this, decadent fabrics and ornate jewels can be easy to style. With popular colors such as soft pastels and ivories, pieces rarely clash.On the men’s side, simplicity is best. Simple suits in grays and blacks paired with white are powerful because it’s the iconic image of formality.
