Everyone in Sydney is obsessing over the Art Deco wedding theme, and a new name is emerging, Neo Deco, Art Deco’s more refined big sister.
What is Art Deco, and why is it so popular for contemporary weddings?
Art Deco is a decorative design style from the 1920s to the 1930s. Inspired by architectural design elements, it incorporates bold geometric shapes and vivid colours. Art Deco is popular for its luxurious look and detailed outcome.
This wedding style embodies today’s bride’s style; it is elegant, refined, personal, and romantic. Incorporating art deco into your wedding today creates a unique, imaginative event that’s perfectly tailored to each couple.
What is Neo Deco?
Neo Deco draws on Art Deco roots, with its foundation still sitting in luxury and class. Where there is a slight shift in the contemporary take, intentionality. Wedding couples are looking to incorporate personal and unique elements or moments that customise the wedding reception, focusing on materials, patterns, or bold statement moments.
The best first step for a bride is to find the perfect venue that highlights her Art/Neo-deco style. Conca D’oro is the real-life expression of Art Deco glamour in Sydney.
Inside Conca D’oro
Conca D’oro has a stunning old Hollywood exterior that lights up the night, white and gold. Guests walk into a glamorous designer foyer that is welcoming, charming, and perfect for pre-wedding drinks, mingling and relaxing. It has reflective dark flooring and gold accents. The epitome of quiet luxury with impeccably dressed serving staff roaming, bubbly and a hot drink station.
You enter the reception room through two grand double doors, and the ballrooms are designed with intentionality that reflects elegance. The walls are a light neutral colour, supported by new custom-designed dark carpet, herringbone timber flooring and contemporary wall lighting. The space is classified as Art Deco-inspired, with in-built mirrored walls, bohemian-inspired crystal chandeliers, a beautiful bar, and original wall mouldings.
