A 1920's party theme!?

Question

I'm want to make boyfriend a 1920's theme costume party, I got the ideas of costumes, and wearables but need help on decorating ideas, such as centerpieces, table colors, hanging decorations, etc. I not sure where to start, I have hired a jazz dj and reserved a dance hall but am completely lost on how to decorate. Please help if anyone has any ideas!!!!

Answer 1

ha ha a 1980's theme would be much easier. Search in google there are plenty of fancy dress sites with fab ideas.

Answer 2

My friend had a 20's style wedding. She had a antique dress and all. It was beautiful.

Flapper dresses, zoot suits, that type of thing.

Answer 3

The "roaring 20's" was a time of music, party and alcohol. Prohibition was over and people were anxious to get out on the town again and have a good time.

If you have a jazz musician booked, that a great start. And the costumes are the best decoration of all. Just think flapper dresses, feather boas and longs strands of pearls for the gals, along with zuit suits for the guys and you'll be on your way to having a great time.

For decor colors, I would suggest big, bold, rich colors like red, gold, black and white. THINK ART DECO.

For centerpieces, do something simple with a fedora, a long string of 'pearls' and some glitzy red glitter or cello-shred.

Hang some of those dangling metallic cellophane curtains around the walls. And hang chandliers from the ceiling. Gold and red would be a great choice! See here:

These chandeliers would be perfect:

Hope this helps! It sounds like a great party! Have fun!
