Last Week I introduced you to Johanna Johnson and her 20’s inspired gowns. This week I wanted to share with you some of her gowns that have sleeves (and you thought I forgot didn’t you ? ). Her bridal gowns are absolutely stunning from the seaming, laces, fabrics and to the rhinestone, beading placement and details.
I honestly cannot get enough, and I’m sure you’ll feel the same way after seeing these.
So, before we leave all of the georgousness of the 1920’s I wanted to share with you these last two dresses. While searching and searching on the net for the 1920’s I happened to stumbbled upon this designer Maison Bellish. Instantly I was drawn to these two 20’s inspired bridal gowns and as you can see, you know why. So if you haven’t seen his beautiful wedding dresses yet. I highly suggest you head over there for yourself and see them.
With that note I hope you enjoyed the many picks and inspirations of the 1920’s that I showed you.
What’s not to love about the flapper inspired bottom of this dress ? Not to mention the flutter slit sleeves soo soo pretty.Beautiful long train and beading on the bodice of this dress are beautiful.
Here are some of the lovely accessories from the last post. These pictures are more Pinterest friendly since who doesn’t love Pinterest. Eternel Trésor is always Pinterest happy. I just love that site. I included a few new ones as well because they were to cute not to include. So enjoy looking and pinning away.
Just in case you were wondering if I am completely obsessed with the BHLDN website. You are correct! Their site is awesome and there is so many beautiful dresses and accessories to look at and drool over. So, if you haven’t been over there to check it out. I suggest you go take a peek now. It could be very dangerous though so, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
I just love this lamb fur cover up. It gives the feeling of feathers (reminds me of ostrich feathers. I just can’t get enough
Art-Deco shapes are very pretty especially when mixed with purse designs.

Here is some inspirational looks I put together in keeping with the 1920’s theme. Just remember if your theme is the 20’s. Not everything has to resemble that era 100%. Your focal point is always the the wedding dress so things should always enhance that not take away from it.
Have fun looking at these three looks.
1st Look: I decided to go with these cute t-strap shoes which were a huge trend in the 20’s. The dress does not scream 20’s but it is somewhat lose in the bust and waist which is very much a 20’s style. Art Deco inspired jewelery and purse help to enhance the era and look, along with a heavy lace edged veil that can be worn as a head cap veil.
2nd Look: This wedding dress gives off an Art Deco vibe with it’s interesting seaming/lines which is so often seen in Art Deco of the 20’s. A fun lambs fur ( resembling Ostrich feathers I think) cover-up help to give a flapper vibe (Also great for cold weather). The shoes match the cover-up. (Even though they are not 100% 20’s inspired they tie in nicely because they go well with the feather trend of those times. And again work nicely with the cover-up). The necklace is a longer chained necklace with interesting shapes again like art deco which then help to pull off the beaded purse. Then to finish off the look I included a sparkly head band which is just enough.
3rd Look: This dress is fitted very lose (only giving us maybe a slight hint of curves but not much). I wanted to make the focal point on this dress about the dress and the body jewelery that create Art-Deco lines. The veil is very simple as not to distract from the focal point with just a slight hint of lace. The same simplicity is also in the earrings not to small but not to big just enough. T-strap shoes again. And lastly to add just a little bit of fun,texture and movement to breakup the simplicity of this combination. I choose a flowy feather purse.
Well I better run I hope you enjoyed my looks.

So a 1920’s inspired wedding gown would not be complete without a headpiece to match. I couldn’t just share those gowns without sharing these headpieces and veils that are also so reminiscent of the same era. I might have gotten a little carried away ..hehehe. However, after you see these you’ll feel the same way I did about them.
I hope you enjoy my picks of these pretty veils and headpieces they truly are amazing and pretty with all their detail.
With movies such as The Gangster Squad and The Great Gatsby hitting the theaters. I am feeling very inspired by the era’s of these movies. I’m sure I will not be alone in this inspiration and feel these movies might just keep these trends going.
Either way the first era that I wanted to share with you is the 1920’s. Here are some beautiful 1920’s and Art Deco inspired gowns that are to die for. All Designed by Johanna Johnston. These are just a few of her dresses and trust me it was hard to pick just these six gowns. I love how they resemble the fashion of the 1920’s but they still have a modern twist to them.
The first two dresses are from her older collection, but the rest are from her current. I could not share with you just the new ones without showing some from the old collection. They were to stunning to pass up and not share. So enjoy!
Keep your eyes open for more 1920’s inspired posts with accessories and veils.
Amazing back detail on this dress.(top)
I love the Art Deco inspired seaming/lines on these last two dresses.
