2013 Wedding Trend No. 2 The Roaring 20's

We're down to number two on our top ten wedding trends for 2013, and this week it's all about the roaring 20's! I'm sure you've seen on our blog that we're a little obsessed with this Gatsby style trend over here with tips on hosting a sip & speakeasy party, and our guide for throwing a fabulous glitzy Gatsby wedding at The Muckenthaler. But how could we not!? First off the Muckenthaler has it's own original speakeasy door, and when you spend as much time there as we do it's hard not to imagine the glories of yesteryear. Secondly the film is being released this year. And as with all visually stunning films, a theme is born. Luckily for all of us it's a beautiful wedding theme...

This theme sits beautifully at The Muck, an old theater, or train depot! (I can't even imagine the gorgeousness!) Unfortunately art deco buildings are not rampant around southern California. But you can always do wonders in a ballroom!
Just don't forget the chandelier...
or the getaway car!

Sip & Speakeasy...

Here at Colette's we've been researching and gearing up for 2013's wedding trends. One that we're most excited for is the 1920s Great Gatsby style that's on the horizon! But if you can't stand the wait (or aren't getting married) then why not host a Speakeasy Cocktail Party! Gatsby makes a perfect theme for a holiday party especially a glitzy New Years Eve party.

Holidays at The Mansion

If you were to imagine throwing the perfect holiday party, wouldn't you want it to be at a historic 1920's mansion?

 That's what we thought. 

 For company holiday parties, or even large families, choosing the right venue for your event can be difficult. When it comes to the holidays we all long for the warmth of familiar faces and a sense of home.

The Great Gatsby at The Muckenthaler

The Muckenthaler Mansion is a beautiful 1920's mansion located right here in Fullerton. It's full of art deco charm and makes a perfect setting for any wedding, but right now we're yearning for an art deco love fest! With The Great Gatsby film coming out this December we took a cue from the movie and created a inspiration board for our own roaring 20's wedding.

 

Whimsical Summer Wedding at The Muckenthaler

Now that it's getting warmer those summer nights of festive dancing after dark under the bistro lights is nearly upon us. And we can't think of a better way to celebrate then with this midsummer wedding at our favorite venue the Muckenthaler Mansion! This couple chose to get a custom designed open air tent perfect for warm summer nights. The whole family worked together making and installing their own decor of handcrafted pom poms in pale yellow and gray creating a whimsical backdrop perfect for dancing the night away under!

The bride also crafted this adorable seating card holder out of ribbon and clothes pins

 

The cake was of course created by our fabulous Cake Goddesses, and we love how the ribbon on the cake mimics the brides sash!
