Art Deco Wedding Invitation Ideas that Scream 1920s Luxury!
We’ve had a love affair with Art Deco for a long time and it has to be one of our favorite wedding styles! The solid lines, shapes, and angles along with a typical black, white, or gold color scheme have come to define Art Deco style. It is one of those styles you recognize immediately when you see it.
Art Deco was founded in the early part of the 20th century as a modernist style that combined fine craftsmanship and rich materials. As Wikipedia tells us about the style, “During its heyday, Art Deco represented luxury, glamour, exuberance, and faith in social and technological progress.”
Don’t confuse Art Deco with a Great Gatsby style, which is more about the pure glitz and glam of the roaring 1920s and all that F. Scott Fitzgerald imagined in his fictional literary classic by the same name.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at our top 5 luxury invites that will set the tone for your Art Deco themed wedding day!

2. Deco Fan Border

3. Antique Lines
Designer: Eric Beckett of GeekInk Design
There’s something fun and quirky about Eric’s antique lines design that I just love. Don’t get me wrong, it is ALL luxury with gold foil-pressed on heavy cardstock. However, the lines and circular format designs really lend a fun element! The color options are diverse and I think the traditional gold on black tends to look the best.
