I have very few regrets about my wedding day, but one eensy tiny teensy one did pop up after we got all the photos and the video and we were oohing and ahhing over everything and then I looked some more and… umm.. oh. Hey, so… why didn’t anyone tell me my hair looked like that towards the end of the evening? And by “that” I mean “like I had sprayed it with maple syrup and then danced in front of an industrial strength fan for 20 minutes.” But you know what: as regrets go, I’ll take it. I loved every minute of my wedding, and my hair did too.
HOWEVER. You may want to do something I did not: bring a purse, or have someone set it down at your table on your wedding day. Not a giant hobo bag, just a lovely little art deco clutch with some essentials in it (like a mirror, or whatever those essentials are to you: Powder? Cigarette? Lip Gloss? Flask?). And so today’s post, helpful to any lady enamored of art deco style (not just those who are getting married): art deco bags! Perfect vintage style clutches, just for you.
Next up, for a bride with a more daring color scheme (or for a lover of art deco any other time) — this gorgeous green and black clutch from Diane Von Furstenberg. I love the colors, I love the machine-age chain strap, I love the design, I love it all.
I also love the sturdy squareness of this Swarovski Kiosque Evening Bag. Vintage style minaudières are lovely, something very satisfying about those clean lines, no?

If you’re planning a wedding you may already be familiar with the treasure trove that is Etsy. With a dizzying array of authentic vintage and handmade, one-of-a-kind vintage-inspired goods (like the stunning vintage veils we’re about to feature), you could pretty much do 100% of your wedding sourcing there…. Frankly, it’s pretty much a wedding …
Just a couple of breathtaking, beautiful bridal shoes for you to peruse today. First up, this absolutely insane pair of Louboutins: mirror satin, signature red sole, uber-glam, and absolutely art deco all the way. Like wearing the Chrysler building on your feet. I’ve done some digging, and it looks like these (the “Very Galaxy” platform …
We’ve featured the gorgeous designs of Johanna Johnson before (both her Trousseau Bridal collection and her RIDICULOUS-IN-THEIR-BEAUTY 1920s headbands and art deco jewelry)… …and today we need to bring your more deco-y goodness in the form of her 2013 collection, “Still Is The Night, Not So My Heart…”, inspired by the Ziegfield Follies chorus girls …
Love ’em or hate ’em, these (very cool) art deco heels definitely make a statement! From Joanne Stoker’s “Empire States” line, this shoe is called “Prism” and… wow. Shop more vintage inspired shoes in our curated Art Deco Shop!

First up: this fabulous Streamline Minaudiere by Judith Leiber. GORGEOUS.

Also a fan of this copper beaded crystal clutch from Inge Christoper. Just lovely, right? The colors alone are perfection (it also apparently comes in a black and silver variation.)
(Inge Christopher Art Deco Clutch)
Another Art Deco beauty from Judith Leiber , and this is absolutely incredible! (with a price tag to match).
I also love the sturdy squareness of this Swarovski Kiosque Evening Bag
