We’re all continuing to enjoy the resurgence of the roaring ’20s and the glamorous Art Deco era, but today we thought we’d shake things up a bit and head to the equally influential period right before Art Deco, the Art Nouveau period. We’ve selected a few pieces to help you recreate your own Art Nouveau Wedding.
Design from this period was characterised by flowing lines and rhythmic patterns of curvy lines, as well as a focus on organic subject matter like flowers, leaves and vines.

Named after an English actress from the Edwardian era, Lily-Elsie is one stunner of a wedding gown. The champagne beaded tulle and silk chiffon gown by Joanne Fleming has a totally Art Nouveau feel, as well as remaining modern with the peplum detail. Sign us up for one, please! Joanne Fleming designs are available from Vintage Bride, Dublin.
