Gatsby Themed Wedding Reception Ideas

//  by The Wedding Shoppe

As the popularity of vintage weddings continues to rise, one particular era stands out for its unparalleled glamor and extravagance—the 1920s. Inspired by F. Scott Fitzgerald’s timeless novel, The Great Gatsby, a Gatsby-themed wedding reception is all about glitter, gold, and opulence.

Elegant Pearls

When it comes to classic 1920s accessories, pearls are a quintessential element. Drape strings of pearls over your centerpieces, hang them as backdrops, or use them to garnish your wedding cake. Pearls provide an effortless, elegant vibe that pairs perfectly with a Gatsby wedding reception décor.

Jewels and Gems

In true Gatsby style, a sprinkle of sparkle can make a world of difference. Adorn your tables with faux diamonds or colorful gems to capture the lavish aesthetic of the era. Crystal candle holders or sequined table runners can also contribute to the overall sparkling display, creating a dazzling spectacle for your guests.

Extravagant Feathers

To capture the spirit of the 1920s, incorporate feathers into your décor. Tall, feathery centerpieces can add height and drama to your tables, while feathered accessories or props can provide interactive fun for your guests. The right use of feathers will bring a touch of whimsy and luxury to your Gatsby themed wedding reception.

Gold, White, and Black

Stick to a color palette that screams Gatsby: gold, white, and black. Gold brings the glamor, white adds elegance, and black offers a stark contrast that brings everything together. Be it your table settings, your linens, or your venue decorations, these colors will set the perfect stage for a night of jubilant celebration.

Vintage Props

Complete your Gatsby wedding reception with vintage props to make your tablescapes stand out. An old record player can play those jazz tunes that’ll transport your guests straight to the 1920s, while an antique typewriter can serve as a unique guest book.
