Art-Deco Wedding Vendors in Chicago

An art-deco wedding in Chicago leans into the glamour of the jazz age — geometric lines, gold and marble, soaring lobbies, and the elegance of the 1920s and 30s that the city built in stone. The settings are stunning: the Palmer House Empire Room with its gilded ceiling, the Old Post Office, an art-deco grande dame with a rooftop garden, the green-and-gold Carbide and Carbon tower, and grand deco lobbies downtown. The look invites a certain style — a jazz band or a swing set, a champagne palette, statement lighting, and vintage glamour in the florals and the gowns. That calls for vendors who can carry the era: a planner who can stage deco elegance, a florist and lighting designer who know the palette, a band who can play the period, and a photographer who can capture the architecture. Post your wedding free on Provow and Chicago wedding vendors send proposals for your art-deco celebration, from design and florals to music and photography.

What to know

Match the era in the details

Art-deco is a whole look — geometric patterns, gold and black, feathers and crystal, a champagne palette. Tell your florist, stationer, and lighting designer you want the 1920s and 30s so the details feel of a piece.

Book a band who can play the period

A jazz or swing band sets the mood a deco room deserves. Say you want the era in your post so musicians who can play it respond, and pair them with lighting that plays up the architecture.

Let the architecture be the star

A gilded ballroom or a deco lobby is the centerpiece. Tell your photographer and planner the room, so the design and the shots make the most of the lines and the glamour.
