Graceful work of Alphonse Mucha, romantic paintings of Gustav Klimt, amazing buildings by Antoni Gaudí, and expressive sculptures of Auguste Rodin – here are the people, who can provide you inspiration for the wedding. Modern art or, as it is called in Europe, “Art Nouveau” is the artistic style of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The direction is distinguished by flowing lines, airy, floral motifs, grace, verified graphics, beautiful illustrations, and vivid stained glass windows. They make a great set of ideas for the wedding. Look for a luxury wedding planner to help you out.

Outfits For Bride And Groom

The style of the bride and groom is one of the most important moments in preparation for the wedding in the style of Art Nouveau. The bride should choose a fitted dress that emphasizes the silhouette. Pay special attention to the decoration of the dress, this is the case when the crystals, strands of beads, pearls, or embroidery will not be superfluous, the main thing is that they blend with each other and the style of the bride. Ideally, the dress should look like a picture of stained glass or an illustration in the style of Alphonse Mucha.

For the groom, the best choice is a strict costume. Excessive ornamentation in this case will turn into pretentiousness and have a negative impact on the overall image of the pair. To emphasize the style of the wedding, you can use an eclectic boutonniere that is appropriate to the accessories of the bride.

Bride Accessories

If you closely examine images in Art-Nouveau style, you’ll notice that girls often chose intricate headdresses, ribbons, or veils. The traditional veil can be replaced with a voluminous Hoop with flowers and feathers, or, conversely, delicate scallops with a scattering of crystals. If the decor of a wedding dress allows, you can use a bright bracelet, ring, chain or brooch.

Do not forget about the shoes. The best choice will be canvas shoes, decorated with embroidery (if desired, you can substitute regular shoes, hand-painted with acrylic paints).

Flowers For The Wedding

For a wedding in the style of Art-Nouveau, you can choose almost any flowers of various hues. They must be combined with the overall design of the wedding. Also, you can ask the florist to decorate your bouquet with rare flowers.

Wedding Photo Shoot In The Style Of Art Nouveau

Taking pictures at the wedding in the spirit of Art Nouveau is a separate art event! Here everyone can be creative: photographers, the bride, and the groom.

Be sure to take care of the decoration of the wedding photo zone. You can go for a walk in a museum or art gallery. A good option – a photo shoot in a mansion that has preserved the atmosphere of the early 20th century, with typical furnishings, curtains, gramophones, tea sets, books, musical instruments, etc.
