1920s Bridesmaid Dresses | Great Gatsby Mothers Dresses

The 1920s theme is a popular one for weddings. Lavish Great Gatsby parties, sophisticated Downton Abbey affairs or casual vintage prohibition gatherings are all great ways to embrace the roaring twenties. A 1920s bride’s dress can be an old tea length vintage lace gown with elaborate beading, or modern with just a touch of the past.

To complement and contrast with the bride, 1920s bridesmaid dresses can coordinate opposites such as flapper dresses paired with a modern wedding dress, or modern bridesmaid dresses paired with a Great Gatsby wedding dress. Pastels are in style and so are dark hues for an evening event. The choice of pairings is endless.

Mothers of the bride and groom usually prefer modest gowns in chiffon or lace over heavy flapper dress beading. Many of these floor length gowns can work for a formal to semi-formal wedding.

Shop these 1920s Gatsby bridesmaid and mothers dresses and gowns for your perfect day. Act fast, as these dresses sell out quickly. And if you need a specific color for your wedding, look at Dessy bridesmaid dresses.
