We agree that upcoming wedding trends will bring many rocking roaring 1920s weddings into the world. The style trend began in 2014 but looks like it will hold steady, only growing in the coming years. And what is not to love. Fabulous things can be done with the wedding theme and we have got some photo inspiration from our friends at nbarrett photography to prove it! nbarrettphotography.com. The 1920’s is the decade when fashion became more exciting and attractive. Women deserted the former constricting and modest clothing of former years and developed a style of their own. This explains why our modern era is inspired so much by this time period. Because the 1920’s were such a prosperous era and social customs became more relaxed, clothing styles reached a whole new revolution, with fashion styles such as the flapper dress and extravagant hats and headpieces. These styles make for beautiful and fun wedding inspirations!

Let’s start by breaking down this look. The thing you probably notice first is the highly stylized thin eyebrows and the red well-defined lips, blush and of course her perfect complexion. The five elements of this style are explained below. You might want to take moment to pull out a blank face chart and sketch this one in.

• It’s not just that the eyebrows are thin, but notice that they extend beyond the eye itself. They’re exaggerated ever so slightly. The line is even in width. Today’s style is for eyebrows to be thicker towards the center of the nose whereas the model’s is even. Also notice the high arch.
• Lips from this era were also well defined. You’ve heard of the cupid bow lips. For everyday wear and evening make up styles the lipstick was brushed on in such a way that the upper lip was emphasized. Yes, dark red lipstick as well as lighter shades took center stage, but so did dark berry colors.
• Smokey eyes were the order of the day and there’s not much difference between yesterday and what works for today in terms of fall makeup and evening wear.
• Rouge was the hot product and used in place of blush. It was a tricky product and not always easy to apply. It had a tendency to look blotchy. Today we have blush and it provides more choices in terms of application. It’s also a much sheerer cosmetic unless you’re buying a high definition blush.
• Powder up. Chances are that your great-grandmother wanted to make sure she had her powder compact with her along with her favorite red lipstick. They used powder to even out their complexions much like we use sheer foundations. It was just enough to look good without giving them a heavy look.
