Inspiration #13: An Art Noveau Wedding

About Us

I'm a happy-go-lucky do-gooder and owner of Va de Vie Events. Through this blog, I hope to share inspiration, budget ideas and DIY tips on how to pull off a budget wedding. {Savvy shopping, a bit of craftiness, and flexibility is what it takes!} I would love to hear from real brides, vendors, photographers, and more with their budget savvy tips or real weddings. Please email me at vera at vadevie-events.com.

NOTE: In accordance with new FTC regulations, vendors I spotlight on my blog have not sponsored me or their post in any way -- it's strictly editorial and because I admire their work. I also credit photography as best I can and will gladly take it down if necessary. Thank you.

Inspiration #13: An Art Noveau Wedding

Filed under inspiration, theme, vintage

My favorite style of art - Art Nouveau - is a style of design, architecture and applied art—especially decorative—that peaked in popularity at the turn of the 20th century (1890–1905). You may be familiar with Gustav Klimt (see his "Tree of Life" frieze above) , Tiffany, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Lalique, and Antoni Gaudi -- each of whom interpreted art nouveau in their individual style. "Dynamic, undulating, and flowing lines in a syncopated rhythm" are common motifs of art nouveau.

Here are some art nouveau design inspiration:
