Dresses | October 28, 2025
Art deco wedding dresses are so back, and honestly, they’ve never looked better. Think luxe beading, exposed boning, and structured fabrics that flatter in all the right ways. This trend channels 1920s opulence (champagne towers, jazz, sequins, the whole vibe) but reimagined for the modern bride who wants their moment to shine. Whether you’re craving sleek satin or beaded sparkle, Maggie Sottero’s art deco–inspired gowns prove that glam and timeless can totally coexist.

What Is Art Deco?
Before we dive into the sparkle and structure, let’s set the scene.
Picture this: It’s the roaring ‘20s. Jazz fills the air; pearls glisten under candlelight, and fashion is all about bold confidence and luxury. That’s Art Deco, a design movement born from a love of modernity, symmetry, and glamor.
Fast-forward to today, and those same high-society vibes are inspiring brides everywhere. Modern art deco wedding dresses blend vintage drama with clean, sculptural details for a look that’s both nostalgic and fresh.
- The Vibe: Think of Great Gatsby energy. All glitz, structure, and champagne-soaked elegance.
- The Look: Luxurious beading, structured silhouettes, metallic shine, and that unmistakable “I woke up to a jazz band and a rooftop party” kind of confidence.
- The Bride: They’re romantic and a trendsetter. They love classic beauty but insist on their gown feeling one-of-a-kind, a statement of artistry and individuality.
If you’re drawn to unique wedding dresses with personality and precision, the art deco look was basically made for you.
The Signature Details: Beading, Structure, and Shine
Let’s talk about what makes these gowns so iconic, and how Maggie Sottero takes vintage inspiration and spins it into something unforgettable.
Beading and Embellishment
Art deco design is all about texture that dazzles.
- Intricate beading catches every flicker of light. From glassy seed beads to glittering sequins and delicate pearls.
- These embellishments are carefully arranged in linear or fan-like motifs that move with your body and shimmer from every angle.
- Many Maggie gowns feature beading that feels vintage but totally current, because glamor never goes out of style.
Structure
At the heart of art deco style is symmetry and strong lines.
- Expect angular lace patterns, architectural seams, and bold placements that sculpt and flatter.
- Exposed boning adds a modern twist, channeling corsetry in a structured yet soft way.
- Clean seams and paneling bring dimension, giving these structured wedding gowns their signature fit-and-flare magic.
This is where structured fabrics shine. Satins, crepes, and mikados that hug your curves and hold shape, delivering that “made-just-for-me” vibe.
Fabrics and Finishes
Art deco wedding dresses are all about luxury, you can feel.
- Silky satins for that slinky, Old Hollywood drape.
- Luxe crepes create fluid structure with subtle sheen.
- Shimmering tulles or laces that add just the right amount of glam for the aisle (and the dance floor).
