Great Gatsby Wedding: Nikki and Dustin

Is there anything more glamorous than a Great Gatsby wedding? Classy black and white, touches of gold, adorned with art deco-inspired decor. Exactly what this bride and groom envisioned. And after months of planning and talking about it, it was amazing to see their vision come to life exactly as they pictured it!

Great Gatsby Wedding

When you think Great Gatsby, you picture a little luxury, a little elegant, and a whole lot of fabulous! It involves “a combination of the 1920s polished style, classy New Year’s Eve-related decor, and a touch of glamorous whimsy that only Jay Gatsby himself can conjure up.” There is a lot of black and white. And let’s not forget gold, sequins, and jewel tones.

I don’t think Nikki and Dustin could have planned it better. From start to finish, their wedding was everything they described. Not to mention, filled with all the aspects of a wedding: pure love, happiness, and an epic party!
