Continuing to demystify some of the wedding theme jargon. Monday, I broke down the term "shabby chic". Today I'd like to tackle Art Deco.
What does it mean?Art Deco refers to a bold decorative style characterized by geometric patterns, graphic colors, and similar to shabby chic, also has a heavy influence in furniture/architecture. This style saw its height of popularity during the 20's and 30's.
How is it achieved?
Coupling art deco inspired fonts, along with some patterns/motifs will achieve the look. Below are some graphic examples as well as fonts.
"Art Deco Motif" is a font that features only art deco characters...
Wonderful for creating stationery with the art deco feeling
Examples of Art Deco fonts coupled with design elements
Many of the Art Deco fonts can be found free through a basic google search
Is this a theme you want to explore?
I've had couples who were into architecture desire this look. I've also seen an interest by those who want their theme/materials to "borrow" from a different era without opting for the (now) overused vintage styles.
