1920's Wedding Bash

This real wedding has a very special place in my heart... it's my little sister's wedding, where we welcomed the most awesome guy into our family, and we finally got to see her get her prince charming.  My sister has always loved the 20's era - well before this latest craze, and she uses any excuse to throw a costume party, so we knew there would be some sort of dressing in theme involved.  Even the very adorable flower girl and ring bearer (my kids!) were in flapper dress and tails.

The wedding was held at the historic Wrigley Mansion Club, which is an authentic 20's mansion at the top of a hill overlooking the city of Phoenix... stunning, indeed.

Steph(f) ;) - I'm so proud of the beautiful, confident, smart woman you've become and I love my new brother and am so happy you've found such a genuine, true love together.  AND I can't wait to have some nieces and nephews!!

The dashing groom decided to make a wardrobe change for the reception, sporting the ultra chic white dinner jacket that is so classically 20's style.  Love.

The tables were named with 20's jargon and their respective definitions (which were quite humorous), like "Bee's Knees," "The Big Cheese," "Flyboys and Flappers," etc.

The reception was turned into a speakeasy theme with favors of small bottles of liquor for the 'gangsters', and playing cards for the 'molls'. 

I always say the sweetheart (or head) table need to be something very, very special.  The bride chose to share a seat with her love by sitting on a vintage settee and we added lots of sparkles with the sequin pillows and linens.

Part of the 20's theme was honoring the grandparents by showing their vintage wedding photos, which just added to the authentic feel of the era.

So the five-foot tall wedding cake was a truly spectacular focal point of the evening.  The flowers are all hand-blown porcelain, which the bride and groom got to save.

Me and my handsome hubby...

 

A huge thank you to the incredible vendor team who worked so diligently to make the 20's come to life for us!  The flowers were exquisite, the cake was unbelievable, the photography was so beautiful and true to 20's style, the paper suite was sparkly and perfect... such great memories.  And a big thank-you to my dear Kristin Hower, who handled the day-of for me so I could be a guest and 

enjoy the celebration.
