Hollywood Regency

Ideas & Inspiration

Hollywood Regency

This design style, which originated in the 1930s, is all about refined glitz and glamour. This is opulence with a modern twist. Mirrored details, detailed furniture pieces, and a clean color palette are all important elements of the Hollywood Regency look. To translate this look to your wedding, use silver and white as a basic color palette, pick a screen-siren dress, and work with classically glamorous makeup.

The Inspiration:

A satin-covered bedroom, elaborate furniture pieces, and the sexy style of Jean Harlow and Marilyn Monroe are the perfect inspiration for a Hollywood Regency style wedding.

Choose a slinky, body-conscious dress for the screen siren look, or go for a classic Grace Kelly look with a little added glitz. 

Mirrored surfaces and a clean color palette bring this design style to modern times. Graphic black and white chairs are a signature of the Hollywood Regency era, and silver shoes add an extra touch of sparkle. Stick to clean and fresh makeup with bold lips in a classic red. If your wedding is in the winter, go for a white faux-fur stole a la Marilyn Monroe.
