The 1920s was a time of great wealth for most of the world. It was also a time of letting loose and having fun for the younger generation. For women it was a time of short skirts, bob hair cuts, jazz, and rebelling against what was thought as proper behavior. The style of these women or flappers was straight and unrestricted. Skirts often were above the knees and considered very risque at the time. All of this was adorned by art deco jewelery. It is no wonder that so many women are considering this style for summer weddings. They style of the 1920s is not only functional but it allows the bride a little bit of breathing, while having a bit of a unique touch. In comparison to the princess wedding or the classy Victorian style or even the modern wedding many choose, the 1920s wedding is all about jazz and having a good time. There are many dresses out there that fit into the 1920s theme. What I am going to pay close attention to is the flapper style because in my opinion it is a fun style for a bride who might not be into the whole long flowing white gown idea. It is something personally I am not into, and so I am writing this for women like me. Women who want a jazz feel to their wedding and a dress that they can let it all loose in, just like the flappers in the speak easies of 1920. All of the dresses and accessories for your convenience can be ordered online and shipped to you.
Unique Vintage Exclusive Ivory & Silver Beaded Fringe Reproduction Flapper Dress
The first dress I will be introducing you too is a Unique Vintage Exclusive Ivory & Silver Beaded Fringe Reproduction Flapper Dress. It has glass beading and is made of a meshy material that gives for generous sizing. Please not that a slip should be worn with this dress. It ranges from a small (size 2/4) to an extra large (14/16). It is a good deal at $198.00. It can easily be paired with the Vanity T-strap heel ($65.00) and in the hair a gorgeous hand made tan butterfly hair clip ($24). Both the hair clip and shoes can be seen on the model. A pair of diamond chandelier earrings would top off the look very nicely and not overpower the dress. To order or view all of these items go to the following URLs:

Black Satin Beaded Flapper Style Cocktail Dress
The next dress I looked at was a little more risque and for maybe a bit more of a bride who wants to really stand out and be flashy. It is a Black Satin Beaded Flapper Style Cocktail Dress.
This dress is made of a jet black satin with gorgeous beaded and lace details. It has built in cups for bust support. It ranges in sizes extra small to 2X, however due to the nature of the material it is not as generous in sizing and the 2X is closer to a size 14. The dress is also reasonably priced at $128.00. It can be paired with a number of items to complete the look. First of course are the black lace opera gloves ($12.00). A gorgeous Sweet Romance 1920’s Flapper Style Long Silver Pearl Necklace with Blue Cameo Brooch ($65.00) to attract the wonderful neckline of the dress. Lastly, you want to complete the look with two items that will stand out. The first item is Topsy Turvy Hand Made Feather Red Butterfly Hair Clip ($24.00) and the second are Hayden Red Bow Ankle Strap Heels ($78.00). Both the red items will add just enough color and flare to the dress to make any bride pop on her wedding day. The only other accessory needed to make this look would be silver pearl earrings or a simple pair of silver hoops. To order or view these items click the URLS:
