Everything during the Belle Epoque Era was fabulously decadent which makes the Modern Belle Epoque theme so fun to play with!  Not only is the jewelry absolutely fab, there are other elements popular in today’s weddings that were a staple in the Belle Epoque Era..can you spot them?

These letterpress invitations by Hello Lucky are so befitting with the design and feel for a Belle Epoque Era.  The damasks incorporated and the garden inspired motifs really show the delicate charm of that time.  Why, they even have a design collection named “Belle Epoque”!

Parasols are definately in almost every wedding nowadays, but it was really during the Belle Epoque Era that they became fashion items for “accomplished ladies” of the time.  I’m so glad that such a great fashion trend has remained to stay and is still going strong!

Champagne anyone?  Perrier-Houet, a luxury Champane House from France has a line especially inspired by and called Belle Epoque.  It is pricey, but to truly celebrate in true Belle Epoque fashion, may no expense be spared!

Last but definately not least, wedding jewelry!  I don’t know anyone that wouldn’t swoon over these delicious jewels!  The biggest trend of the Belle Epoque Era was full of pearls from Asia, exotic jewels of the time such as emeralds and saphires, decadent hats, more pearls and more jewels!  That’s absolutely divine!!

Stay tuned for tomorrow’s not-to-be missed post:  Belle Epoque Decor
