Scott Fitzgerald, author of the dramatic love story <\/span>The Great Gatsby<\/span><\/i>, once wrote, \u201cTwo souls are sometimes created together and in love before they\u2019re born.\u201d Now we don\u2019t know about you, but we think that\u2019s pretty much as romantic as it gets. Whether you\u2019ve read the famous novel in school, watched the movie(s), and\/or attended a 1920\u2019s themed party at some point in your life, you\u2019re well aware of The Great Gatsby<\/em>, and how it shaped an era of timeless romanticism, elegance, flapper fashion, and an overall indescribable beauty.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet, perhaps the most powerful sovereignty of The Great Gatsby<\/em> (besides its immortal literary reign) is the endless wedding inspiration that has emerged throughout the last few decades. So if you\u2019re a bride-to-be looking for a 1920s wedding, but seem to be stuck in 2017, look no further. It\u2019s time to channel your inner Daisy Buchanan, put on those pearls and pop that bubbly\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Are you a true, die-hard Gatsby fan? Do you LOVE New York? If yes, Oheka Castle<\/a> is a venue you should seriously consider for your big day. In case you\u2019ve never heard of this estate less than an hour-and-half drive from New York City (or seen Taylor Swift\u2019s \u201cBlank Space\u201d music video), it covers 109,000 square feet and originally belonged to financier and philanthropist Otto Hermann Kahn. Oh, and it also partially inspired Fitzgerald\u2019s vision of Gatsby\u2019s mansion.<\/span><\/p>\n

These days, Oheka Castle is recognized by the National Trust for Historic Preservation as a historic hotel and serves as a popular event venue…especially for weddings. Many celebrities and socialites have gotten married at the legendary and elegant mansion. <\/span><\/p>\n

With an unbeatable outdoor lawn, you should consider holding your reception outside on the castle grounds, especially if your wedding is set for the spring or summer. You can hand out feathered headbands to your wedding guests, along with creating a signature champagne drink, just like Gatsby would have done. If you\u2019re the kind of bride that likes to go the extra mile, perhaps you’d consider a fireworks show to end the night, as you and your new hubby drive off as newlyweds in a classic Rolls Royce.<\/span><\/p>\n
