Tomorrow, August 7 at the restaurant "Svetly" (20-00) there will be an interesting evening for fans of good jazz music. One of the most famous jazz singers in Russia, Maria Tarasevich, will sing for you on the stage of the restaurant. A pleasant addition will be the performance of trumpeter Vadim Eilenkrig. In connection with this event, we decided to create 3 looks that are perfect for parties of this kind.

Look 1: Justin Timberlake

In this original image, the famous singer somehow decided to appear on the red carpet. You may well use it to go to a jazz party. The complexity of compiling bows for such events lies in the fact that, on the one hand, this event is cultural and official, on the other hand, it is not a secular reception and not even an opera. All this duality is embodied in this image, which successfully combines a tuxedo, a casual shirt and an unexpected tie. Accessories play a big part in this look. A wide tie, a clip for it, a matching pocket square and shoes stylized as boots give the look a gangster mood. If you use black classic shoes, a narrow tie, then the image will turn out to be a little more formal and modern:

Pictured: Slim fit tuxedo from Asos; Silk tie from Topman; Shirt by Burberry; Shoes by Allsaints

Look 2: Charles Tyrwhitt

This look was inspired by Charles Tyrwhitt's lookbook. The image implies the freedom of your creativity. The mood of the things shown in the photo is easy to control with the help of suitable trousers. Take dark jeans, don't wear a tie - get a smart casual that will not require much effort and will look quite decent at a jazz party. Put on the trousers and tie that match the jacket - a fairly formal bow is ready:

In the photo: Jacket made of silk and linen in a classic silhouette; Extra fitted casual shirt, Dot linen tie; Brown brogues. Monobrand bow

Image 3: Darren Criss (star of the musical series "Glee")

Jazz is music for life, why not add bright colors to your image? We propose to make the look more restrained by removing a little gloss from the trousers and shoes. However, if you want to be as cheerful as Darren Criss - act, the format of the event allows it.

A jazz-style wedding is, first of all, the very atmosphere of the dashing fun of the 20s, courage and extravagance, a challenge and, of course, the music itself. In order to be inspired by this bright bygone era, you can watch such films as The Great Gatsby, Only Girls in Jazz, re-listen to the outstanding compositions of Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra. These performers of jazz music are associated with jazz in the first place, alas, the rest, no less outstanding "children of jazz", are known and recognized only by true connoisseurs and lovers of this style.

Dress code for newlyweds and guests

Since the very style of the era dictates any deliverance, freedom from the conventions of a strict dress code is out of the question. However, the outfits of the bride and groom and guests should be in retro style. The classic bridesmaid dress here will clearly be out of place - both in terms of color and style. It is best to pay attention to a simple silhouette, with a straight cut and an expressive neckline. Abundant fringe, asymmetrical hem, lightweight materials - everything you need to create the desired image. Those who prefer something a little more sophisticated should pay attention to the tight-fitting dress, with closed shoulders and a deep cutout at the back.

As for the color - then here you can advise to deviate from the usual white or beige color, trying to take something bright - emerald, or purple, for example. Gold or pink will be a nice alternative for those who still don't want to deviate too much from the usual look of a wedding dress.

As accessories for a retro look of the jazz era, can serve as short gloves, a small handbag, combs in the hair, a small hat with a veil, just a short veil instead of a veil, themed hair jewelry - with rhinestones, feathers and chains.

Makeup can be quite bold - the emphasis is usually on bright lips. Hairstyle - no pretentious and complex designs. Both long hair and short hair are equally good - after all, a light curl is all that is needed.

As for the outfits of the male half, then, of course, they should be equal to the groom. And he, in turn, choose a retro suit - for example, tweed, with a contrasting stripe. Another option is a three-piece suit, or a suit with pipe trousers. For these costumes, it is recommended to get such an accessory as a hat - of course, in the spirit of the 20s. A more neutral option is a classic tuxedo, complete with a cane.

The ladies invited to the wedding will also have to take care of choosing a decent outfit for themselves. However, a loose cut, bold cutouts and a length just above the knees are recommended. Asymmetric details, an abundance of sequins and rhinestones, dark, almost black lipstick, feather boas, shoes studded with artificial stones - all this plays on the image and creates the desired effect.

Music is the foundation

If you don’t have a “jazz band” in mind, then it’s better not to take on the design of a jazz-style wedding. Musicians must be present, at least one saxophonist, at least at the beginning of the evening. And it would be better if it would be a group in a classic combination - trumpet, saxophone, clarinet, and, of course, a singer in a sequined dress. You definitely need to make a list of songs that will delight you and your guests throughout the evening.

Music at a jazz wedding should not only sound - it should be tangible and visible. Therefore, it is imperative to use notes in the design - their image can be found on napkins, cards for seating guests, decor on tables.

In general, the design of the hall or venue where the event takes place should combine elegance and the inevitable hooliganism - after all, the twenties of the twentieth century are not only jazz, but also gangsters. Therefore - slight negligence, but at the same time, an abundance of flowers, crystal, fake diamonds and other tinsel.

Since prohibition flourished in America in the twenties, according to which the sale of alcoholic beverages under any form was strictly prohibited, this provided a huge field for fraud. And it served as an impetus for the creation of secret, closed clubs, in which one could not only drink, but also just listen to jazz and admire the mischievous girls dancing the night away. By the way, alcohol in such places was served in teapots and mugs - so that during a police raid you could at least look innocent. It is a sin not to take advantage of this historical fact when designing and organizing a jazz-style wedding.

Also in the twenties, smoking was popularized - almost everyone smoked, and everywhere. Some even claimed that tobacco smoke was good for the ligaments and the nervous system. Besides, smoking cigars was kind of, calling card, a sign of belonging to certain circles. At the wedding, you can organize a “cigar lovers club”, where you can invite guests to learn how to smoke a cigar correctly, and, of course, take spectacular photos.

Video materials for clarity

The luxury of every detail, sensual jazz and mischievous Charleston, the euphoria of heady aromas of perfume, alcohol and cigars. A shocking party in the style of the great Gatsby is not just a dazzling holiday. This is a riot, fireworks, general madness under the sauce of moral looseness!

Decor

The organizer is faced with a difficult task: a brilliant, outrageously expensive-looking design without a hint of frivolity. The high style of Gatsby, albeit within the framework of a party, implies the presence of taste and a sense of proportion in the owner of the house. Review the film adaptations: at first glance, the luxurious mansion of the mysterious "spy" seems to be buried in festive decorations. But the viewer will not see a hint of congestion.

Pause: notice small design details, get ideas - the great Gatsby did everything for us! It remains to season the entourage with a bit of your own imagination so that the party guests are mentally transported to the crazy 20s.

It is important to choose the right room. The best option will become a loft, a classic restaurant hall or a spacious cafe: high ceilings, bright interior, antique furniture. Of course, at home you can also have a party in the style of the great Gatsby, especially if it's a birthday, and not a wedding or other important occasion.

Color scheme: white, black, lots of gold and/or silver. For compositions, any natural shades are appropriate. Just remember the sense of proportion all the time, you are not preparing for the New Year. Or to him? Then you can add a little more color.

We offer ideas:

• drapery fabric- an excellent solution when there is no opportunity to replace unsuitable furniture, remove unnecessary equipment. Critically assess the interior - perhaps some non-vintage details remained in sight?

• definitely Gatsby style sparkling crystal chandeliers and sconces. This item will instantly raise the party bar by a few notches! A spectacular imitation is easy to do with your own hands from the bottoms plastic bottles. You can hide the chandelier behind a wire frame decorated with wax paper (white circles in the photo), disposable cups and other improvised materials.

Designer chandeliers look extraordinarily elegant, much more attractive than boring modern shades. And it's simple: the child will cope if there is time.

• translucent white balls(the very beginning of the film, the first party at Gatsby's) will make the atmosphere as light and festive as the mood of the guests! And they are in harmony with the milky-colored chandeliers, i.е. completely fit such lampshades into the general idea.

Glowing Balloons: “tablet” batteries + white LED + rubber band. Cut a long ball (LMB) into strips. Put the resulting “gum” on the battery to press the diode contacts (they should not peek out from under the gum, otherwise the ball will burst). Put inside the balloon, inflate.

• decorate the ceiling/walls with vertical garlands. This is your main "reserve" of color, glitter of gold and puffy wealth: Christmas tree rain, serpentine, bead curtains, foil rain curtains.

• bright butterflies are also in the style of the great Gatsby– at his parties they are everywhere! Make some garlands, use butterflies to decorate compositions. Let them flutter around like frivolous young guests of the holiday.

• "expensive" vases, lush bouquets, large feathers as an element of decoration of anything. A hint of fountains: tall thin vases + silver decorative branches, decorated with drops of transparent beads. It's great if you can find a couple of real fountains, albeit miniature ones.

• make several frames from ceiling plinths. Paint them dark brown, go "gold" over the protruding parts (lightly, with a sponge). You will get a worthy frame for “old” paintings, views of New York at night, posters from The Great Gatsby, photos of elegant ladies in evening dresses of the 20s;

• retro car models, gramophone, telephone, radio, carved boxes, grandmother's suitcase- ask your friends for antique-styled items.

photo zone

It is desirable that "lazy" scenery, assembled in a blunder, does not leak into the design. Everything should be on a level - so that any corner of the room can serve as a worthy backdrop for filming.

If possible, organize a retro zone with a chic sofa, a carved table and antique items on it: a telephone, an ashtray, a Fitzgerald novel in an aged cover, porcelain cups.

Photozone ideas can be seen in the film. For example, print a photo of the stairs, on which the guests of his parties crowded. Or a view of a luxurious mansion, a golden organ, any recognizable frame, Gatsby's car - the legendary Duesenberg J.

invitations

The only invitation sent by Gatsby himself looked trite - a simple note, not at all pompous, not betraying the scale of the upcoming holiday.

I mean, an invitation to a Gatsby-style party, in terms of authenticity, is the exact opposite of a chic setting! But at the same time, it is elegant - expensive paper, personalized stamp, neat handwriting. Ready idea, it remains only to buy a fountain pen.

If you want more luxury and brilliance, make the invitation black or white in half with gold. These two tandems speak of prosperity, suggest high society, high style.

You can come up with something original. For example, invitations in the form of a novel cover, a ticket to The Great Gatsby, or a newspaper page: “This Sunday there will be a party again at the address, time, dress code.” Like no invitation - so, a small mention, entirely in the style of Gatsby.

Suits

Billionaire playboys and their gorgeous blondes. Journalists, students, censors, directors, actresses. Heirs, bosses, bandits and governors. Whatever you do, wherever you live, rich or poor.

Fairy of images! Chic costumes for a Gatsby-style party have already been invented for us - pause, notice the details, repeat. The choice is colossal!

It is desirable that the dress code be observed by all guests, and retro outfits of the 20s cannot be bought in the nearest store. Therefore, notify your friends in advance, at least a week before the holiday.

Girls first of all need to choose a dress: low waist, straight cut, shallow neckline. Calm colors - all shades of sand and cream, gold, silver, black. In contrast to the laconic color and cut, the decoration was very elegant - lace elements, hand embroidery, rhinestones, beads.

The ideal length is just below the knees, on the palm of your hand. But judging by the film, a Gatsby-style party dress can be both floor-length and extremely short. If the T-shirt dress opened the legs, the neckline was rarely revealing - everything at once was too vulgar. But a deep neckline on the back is welcome. The hem in most cases is oblique, in waves, "torn" or with fringe, coquettishly emphasizes the mischief and lightness of the image.

During an incendiary Charleston with a dress of this style, an opportunity can happen. ... In order not to change the style even in such a piquant situation, put on lace underwear, a beautiful garter belt, and the stockings themselves - sandy, pinkish or black, in harmony with the dress.

Think over every detail - make-up, shoes and accessories for a party in the style of Gatsby emphasize the elegant look of the 20s. The shoes were mostly closed, with a stable small heel, with a pointed toe.. Such shoes will not fly off during the dance and do not threaten the ankle with dislocation. Bright, elegant shoes were often decorated with embroidery, bows, rhinestones.

Other "little things", without which the most fancy dress will not recreate a Gatsby look:

• head accessory, so-called. headband. Ribbon, hoop, narrow headband, headband decorated with stones, embroidery or lace, beads, with a feather or a flirty bow. The choice is simply endless!

• necklace or a long string of pearls around the neck, can be tied in a knot. Wide pearl bracelets, in several rows. Or sparkling diamonds? Slave bracelets connected by a chain with a large ring on the middle finger were in fashion.

• a miniature bag with a long belt, in harmony with other accessories and a dress. Fur boas, boas are appropriate, long gloves with embellished cuffs.

• recognizable hairstyle "La Garconne", under the boy. You can style your hair in waves on your head, and collect the length with hairpins and disguise it with a bow or other head accessory.

Makeup is quite simple: dark shadows and eyeliner, fluffy eyelashes, red or cherry lipstick. The emphasis is more on the eyes - very deep shadows, maybe a little shine (the image of a fatal seductress). Lipstick is applied strictly along the contour, without negligence. For a light dress, “naturel” makeup is appropriate.

The tan became fashionable just in time for the 20s, so pallor is not exactly in Gatsby style. Tanned skin, contrary to the former idea, suddenly began to be considered a sign of prosperity, associating with the opportunity to relax on yachts. Therefore, it is not at all necessary to use a light tone if it does not suit you.

It is much easier to pick up a men's Gatsby-style party suit. This is a classic trio of soothing shades, round-toed oxford shoes with closed lacing (they are still popular today) plus a hat (you can use a straight-brimmed straw boater). A long scarf hanging freely is appropriate.

In general, the male image was restrained, with the exception of elegant ties and bow ties - any shades, stripes, checks, even peas. And also a scarf in a jacket pocket or a flower bud on a lapel. You can do both, but then it must be the same color. Add a couple of accessories that hint at prosperity: a cane, a watch (by the 20s they were already worn on the wrist), “expensive” cufflinks.

Menu, serving

You can’t call a budget holiday in the style of the great Gatsby, and the party menu should also be to match. Treats are exquisite, inaccessible or seeming so due to the original presentation of food. It is advisable to have a little bit of everything to impress guests with an assortment: seafood, meat, smoked meats, fish, fruits and vegetables in portions / cuts.

A buffet table is implied, since the party is dance, active. Of course, for a wedding "at Gatsby" it is better to set up small tables for 3-4 people and hire well-trained waiters - food and drinks should appear "out of thin air".

All kinds of desserts, sweets - chocolate, a scattering of dragees, glazed nuts, a huge cake for a wedding or birthday. Drinks: obligatory champagne, wines, brandy and cognac, any cocktails. A few ideas that emphasize the high style of Gatsby:

• satin tablecloths, chair drapery. The color design is in harmony with the scenery (black + gold, white + gold, white + silver);

• napkin rings, chrome napkin holders;

• feathers, fresh flowers, pearls;

• multi-level coasters for dishes, better chrome-plated;

• punch fountains, chocolate fountains;

• ice sculptures, figured ice (the molds cost a penny);

• crystal, glass with gilding or silvering;

• collection alcohol (“Soviet” champagne is certainly inappropriate).

The easiest way is to re-stick labels (old ones can be printed from the Web):

• hiding places in globes, books;
• pyramid of glasses for bottling champagne.

Entertainment

If the budget allows, by all means invite dancers, jugglers or musicians. If the holiday is not so large-scale, you can reflect this moment by hanging silhouettes of aerial acrobats from the ceiling.

Music of the 20-30s, Charleston, blues, jazz is indispensable for the entourage. It is not necessary that each song croaks from the speakers with the original - download modern stylized compositions, soundtracks for the film. Because the topic is quite popular, there are ready-made collections on the Web - no problems are expected.

Let the gatekeeper, dressed in uniform, impeccably courteous, meet the guests at the entrance. You can hire a "boy" to park your car. These little things will make guests feel like part of high society, setting them on a thematic wave.

Coming up with a Gatsby-style party scenario is at least strange. The very idea is in unbridled fun and freedom from any framework. Delicious food, rhythmic incendiary music, luxurious scenery - that's all you need!

Be sure to dance the Charleston and take photos - some of the most gorgeous shots! In order not to embarrass the guests, arrange a small rehearsal, show simple movements or turn on the video on the big screen.

There were no contests at Gatsby's party, but there were plenty of people there, plus show programs. Therefore, it is still worth preparing several games and competitions. Just don't load guests too much - join if you see that the audience is starting to get bored. Cards, roulette, billiards will be appropriate.

snake

Fun dance game, pick up a fast song. Guests become a chain, holding each other by the waist. The first is the head, the last is the tail of the snake. The "tail" is trying to catch the "head", and she, of course, runs away. The chain of "snake" cannot be broken. If the "tail" managed to catch the "head", he stands at the head of the chain. And the last guest in line becomes the “tail”.

Silent movie

Pantomime for two. Come up with funny scenes, make cards. A couple or three participants choose a card. After a minute of negotiations among themselves, he shows a scene without words (you can prepare inventory in advance, it will turn out colorful). The rest guess as usual.

Like glass

According to the scenario of the party, the guest must pretend to be sober, so that the gloomy policeman does not send him to jail (dry law). Start-finish, thread. You need to properly unwind the participant, put him face to the thread. The goal is to walk on it without staggering.

censors fight

As the film makes clear, the censors also attended Gatsby's parties! Apparently, even they were intoxicated by the spirit of freedom and permissiveness. So we destroy the efforts of the champions of morality and other foundations. Print frames from the movie, stick black "blots" on some object: a glass, a cigar, anything at all. And the guests must guess / remember what is depicted there.

Dancing on the newspaper

A well-known dance competition, and in the style of Gatsby, it is also easy to organize. Print out old newspapers, turn on the Charleston or other fast music. Dance while standing on the spread of a newspaper. After a while, the strip needs to be folded in half, then again and again. The goal is to dance while standing on the newspaper even with the edge of your shoe.

Didn't sleep

The evil cop is back! The man elegantly tosses his straw hat directly onto the bottle, hiding it from the "watchful" gaze of the oiled lawyer. Accuracy competition: three hats / three attempts, a bottle, the distance is increasing at each next stage.

Stash of Gatsby

According to the party scenario, somewhere in the house there is a hiding place - entirely in the style of Gatsby, according to some (except for the spy, he was considered a bootlegger). Better to report the cache at the end of the evening. Hide a box full of "champagne" somewhere: bottles with cold fountains stuck in, a couple of huge inflatable bottles, a few with serpentine / confetti inside.

According to the film, the culmination of the holiday should be a huge fireworks display. But this is not always feasible and does not fit into any budget. Hence our choice.

When one of the guests finds a "cache", arrange spectacular dances with all these paraphernalia, blowing up balls, setting fire to sparklers. Quite in the style of Gatsby, a paper show or a rain of confetti is more economical, but also beautiful and spectacular!

Elegant accessories, expensive alcohol, chocolate/candy sets, a volume of a novel with a commemorative inscription are ideal as gifts.

Summer is the time of festivals and concerts, where you can dress not only with comfort, but also in accordance with all the latest trends.

@somewherelately

This year, a huge number of eminent artists and young, but world-famous bands are coming to Ukraine, so it's time to think about important issue Q: What should I wear to the concert? There are a lot of ideas on how to dress for such an event, but if you are planning to attend a musical party, think carefully about your outfit in advance. Of course, the outfit depends on the direction of the music and the duration of the concert itself, so you should take into account a few nuances.

1. Classic or rock?

When choosing an image for the evening, it is important to consider its format and musical direction. Only with this approach, leisure will be held at the highest level and will give not only pleasure from the performance of your favorite artist, but also self-confidence. For a concert classical music it is best to choose an image in a more restrained style - a cocktail dress or a suit, but for a rock or pop concert, you should look at something more casual.

2. Comfort - above all

Unless you're going to a classical music concert, you probably don't want to wear high heels and a dress that restricts movement. First of all, take care of your comfort. Consider the weather conditions and the format of the venue where the concert will take place. If the performance of your favorite artist or group is planned at a large stadium

Many concerts take place outdoors, so check the weather forecast in advance and plan your outfit based on it. If it's going to rain, then take a raincoat with you, since now many brands produce such.

How to dress for a concert and look stylish:

Cargo pants

In windy weather, actual cargo trousers will save any fashionista. Over the top, you can put on a shirt made of thick fabric and put on rough boots. In this way, you will definitely not freeze in the evening, when the artists will be late and the performance will be postponed for several hours.

Items with group symbols

If you are a real fan of a particular group, it will not be difficult for you to choose an image for the evening. Things with the name of your favorite band will eloquently say that you are a longtime fan and know all the songs by heart.

total black

@kathleen_barnes

Any monochrome image needs a bright accent, whether it be a bag, earrings or shoes. For black flared trousers, pick up shoes with animal print - leopard, zebra or snake. A bright makeup with an accent on the lips will add another accent.

Bright top

The neon colors that took over our wardrobes this spring are still on trend. Knitted top in this shade, cargo pants are a win-win option for a festival or concert. To protect yourself from the sun, take a panama hat, and if you plan to dance, opt for a fanny pack instead of a backpack.

Black mini dress

A concert is not a reason to give up your favorite things, especially when it comes to small things. black dress. Moreover, after the concert, you can go on a date or meet with friends in it. To feel comfortable in shoes with heels, choose a stable model.

Button dress

Whether it's a date or a concert, a laconic striped button-down dress is always good idea. For tickets and phone don't forget to grab a small straw bag - another trend of the next summer season.

Tie Dye

One of the hottest prints of 2019, perfect for festivals and concerts. At the American Coachella, many models and celebrities chose it not only in clothes, but also as a print for manicure.

Linen suit

@negin_mirsalehi

In order not to languish in the heat at an outdoor concert venue, choose natural fabrics, such as trendy linen. A suit consisting of high-waisted shorts and a cropped jacket won't make you the bright spot in the crowd, but accessories can make the difference.

Voluminous dresses with frills are called ugly dresses for a reason. They, like ugly shoes, are reminiscent of our grandmothers' clothes and will take a place on the trend list for a long time. First of all, such dresses are comfortable, and if you add a few discreet accessories in the form of a bag and glasses, then the image will immediately sparkle with other colors.

This is a great choice for lovers of unbridled fun. Gatsby's so-called "Jazz Age" began in the 1920s. But a real explosion of interest in this fashion was caused by the film The Great Gatsby, which was filmed in 1925 in Paris. In this era, a woman goes through life in step with a man: smokes cigarettes, plays golf, spends time on the tennis court, drives a car, sits at the controls of an airplane and participate in sports.

How to Host a Great Gatsby Party

The Great Gatsby parties are always grandiose and simply gorgeous events. They are always with a huge number of guests, fun entertainment, with delicious food and drinks. It is not easy to prepare and hold such a party, but we will tell you how to do it.

time and place

Always a Gatsby Party should take place in the evening and continue until the morning or late night (or early at your discretion). We like start at eight o'clock in the evening. It is desirable to choose a day that would be convenient for everyone, Friday or weekend.

To choose a room, you need to proceed from the budget, the number of guests and the weather. Ideal fit place with indoor and outdoor space which allows you to arrange different types entertainment and guests will not feel trapped in a box.

The place must be beautiful. For example beautiful Vacation home or magnificent villa. A shimmering grand piano, marble floor, chic furniture, lighting and lighting, live music, lots of flowers and decorations.

party invitations

Send out your invitations six to eight weeks before your party - the sooner the better. Since a Great Gatsby themed party will require themed costumes, it's a good idea to give your guests plenty of time to prepare and find what to wear to the party.

We love art deco invitations and choose cards with geometric lines, patterns, arches with gold accents. If you're sending out digital invitations, choose something playful that your guests will love to see in their inbox.

Party decoration and decoration

The easiest way to tell how to decorate your Great Gatsby themed party is to advise you to watch the movie and repeat what Gatsby himself does for his big party. But the reality is that life outside of a Hollywood movie usually comes with annoyances, such as tight budgets, short timelines, and little room for expansion.

Here five basic elements that will transform your space from dull to dazzling and give your room a vibrant Gatsby style:

• Metallic gold fabric, under the ceiling
• Golden chandeliers and candelabra
• Large feather arrangements (in the center, on the backs of chairs, in flower arrangements)
• Floral arrangements, preferably in a single color (we love white, peach or pink)
• Beads of pearls and crystal (glass) hanging from the ceiling, from the railing, from trees, on the backs of chairs (actually anywhere)

If you're not sure which places and elements are the most important to decorate in your space, walk around the venue with a friend and notice the first things they notice that catch their eye. These are areas that your guests will also notice and you should focus on decorating.

Entertainment for a gatsby party

At a party in the style of Gatsby, they know how to relax. Here, no one is in a hurry, no one establishes business connections, no one creates projects. To increase the effect, it is highly desirable that at the entrance, along with outerwear all the guests handed over their phones so as not to be distracted. This evening everyone is having fun, eating a variety of dishes, drinking expensive drinks, playing cards, billiards, entertaining games and of course memory photo session.

Most importantly, what would you have at a party in the style of the Great Gatsby good music that people can go to and dance a little. Whether it's playing your favorite Gatsby-style playlist or finding a great band, just make sure your guests can have some fun on the dance floor. Live music is a big plus for a big party.

If you are planning a big party, get busy bringing in interesting show programs such as fire show, acrobats, aerialists, dancers and pyrotechnic show to add spectacle to your party.

Party music

I think it fits perfectly a lot of jazz interspersed classic plays, The Great Gatsby soundtracks and dance remixes of songs from the 1920s. Nothing can be better and more enjoyable than listening to a good performance by professional musicians. If you decide to listen to live music for the whole holiday, this is an ideal option.

Party Contests

• You can also arrange Male cancan. You will need props for cabaret dancers - Hats, corsets, beads, feathers and who else is ready for anything. This is all you need to dress up and dance the cancan. Of course, the audience appreciates the applause and emotions. Whoever danced the best is rewarded with kisses from the girls.
• lace up corset. The game is played by two boys and two girls. For speed, you need to unlace the corset on the body of the partner. You will need two corsets, a timer and a referee.
• Shadow play. We need a screen, a bright lamp, a hat and many participants. Everyone pulls out a task for themselves from a hat (on a small leaflet), one by one they go behind the screen and, with the help of a hat and their body, show what was indicated on the leaflet. The audience guesses.
• Accuracy Competition. For this competition you will need a bottle of champagne or another drink (but always a good one) and a hat. The bottle should be placed at a short distance, and the guests will try to throw a hat on them. Who will get that and a bottle.
• elegant hat. It is necessary to quickly decorate a lady's hat according to your taste and discretion. All participants are divided into two teams. You will need: ladies' hats, flowers, rhinestones, glue, colored paper, scissors, ribbons, buttons, threads, needles and other equipment with decorations at your discretion. Each team has the same set of tools at hand. The task is to quickly collect the most elegant hat. The winner is determined by voting by the audience (those of the guests who did not wish to participate in the competition).
• Best Dancer. When it's time to warm up a bit, you can triple the competition for the best dancer. Everyone in turn goes to the center of the circle and shows what they are capable of in the dance. The audience cheers and applauds.

Menu: food and drinks

You can't have a successful party without drinks and delicious food. For big theme party Gatsby, get ready. several types of stylish cocktails And more champagne. For food, serve canapes And small portions for a snack You don't want to interrupt the fun and dancing when guests stop for food. Small portions that guests can enjoy between dancing, talking and sipping champagne are just perfect. Add fun dessert bar self service with cupcakes, whipped desserts etc.

What to wear to a party in Gatsby style

Of course, for such a party you need a special dress code! It is desirable that all guests come in attire based on the style of the party and the spirit of those years. In the 1920s, the US economy grew rapidly. Therefore, the maximum of luxury and chic is what you need for a holiday.

Outfits for women

Having looked at the photos of the 20s, we see that the cut women's dress free cut, cylindrical, elongated or with a low waist, the length of the skirt is not higher than the middle of the ankle, the decoration was very elegant - lace elements, hand embroidery, rhinestones, beads. A beautifully decorated headdress is welcome. Lots of beautiful jewelry, high-heeled shoes, a small beautiful handbag.

male image

The outfit for men is easier. A strict business suit, usually two-tone shoes, a cane, a watch on a chain, a tie or bow tie, a hat, cufflinks, a rose or a carnation on the lapel of the suit.

Makeup is distinguished by fair skin with a neat frame. Eyebrows with a thin dark arch, eyelids with black eyeliner, you can add false eyelashes, make up them in several layers with black mascara, the shadows are dark but always matched to the tone of the outfit, well shaded, so you get a haze effect, which gives the look a languid deep look. And be sure to be bright. lipstick. Little nuance when applied Foundation and powder lighter than the natural skin color may not look healthy. Therefore, it is better to add not a lot of matte blush.

Gatsby hairstyle is simple but beautiful. This short haircuts as well as a bob. Give your hair neat waves, wear a headband in a retro style or attach to your hair beautiful decoration or a flower and the image is ready.

Successful parties!
