Wedding style is the most important decision to make before you start planning anything. We all know millions of pinterest pictures showing us beautiful weddings and events. Each event has its own distinctive style.
There are numbers of styles to go with and usually we see something elegant, romantic and traditional, just because it is easier to replicate than create. But why not try something different like Art Nouveau or Art Deco styles?
Both styles look very similar unless you know the most important distinctive features: Art Nouveau is decorative flowery style while Art Deco is more streamlined and sleek.
Both styles emerged almost at the same time. Art Nouveau was reigning from 1880 till World War I, and Art Deco – after the WWI until WWII. The best way to tell the difference is to make a “curves vs. angles” test. If you see soft flowing curves with floral elements then it’s definitely Art Nouveau. On the other hand, if the accent is on strict edges, angles and geometry then more likely it is Art Deco.
Finally, look at the famous Titanic movie – dresses and overall restaurants’ atmosphere is definitely Art Nouveau while Great Gatsby is 100% Art Deco style.
Very good feature of Art Nouveau – presence of many floral elements, including bride’s look. Bridal flower crown is probably the best technique to incorporate Art Nouveau into your wedding design. Simple flower crown with lightweight and thin flowers will make the look very Nouveu and trendy at the same time.
We hope our mini guide on how to differentiate Art Nouveau from Art Deco style was useful for you!
