How to Organise a Peaky Blinders Themed Wedding
A 1920s wedding theme inspired by the Shelby style
With the release of the highly anticipated Peaky Blinders film, The Immortal Man — which premiered in cinemas in March 2026 and arrives on Netflix shortly after — interest in the iconic 1920s gangster aesthetic is once again soaring.
From tailored suits and flat caps to vintage décor and art-deco styling, the Peaky Blinders look has become one of the most distinctive and stylish wedding themes for couples who love the glamour and grit of the Roaring Twenties.
If you’re planning a wedding inspired by the Shelby family’s unmistakable style, this guide will help you create a Peaky Blinders themed wedding that feels authentic, stylish and full of character — from your wedding invitations right through to on-the-day stationery, signage and décor.
Start with Peaky Blinders Inspired Wedding Invitations
Your wedding invitations are the first glimpse guests will have of your theme, so they’re the perfect place to introduce the Peaky Blinders aesthetic.
For a 1920s-inspired wedding look, consider invitations that feature:
- Vintage typography or art-deco fonts
- Deep colour palettes like black, burgundy, navy or olive
- Gold foil or metallic accents
- Textured card stocks or kraft papers
- Wax seals or belly bands for an authentic vintage finish
These details help set the tone for a wedding that feels sophisticated, dramatic and inspired by the era.
Continue the Theme with On-the-Day Wedding Stationery
Once guests arrive, your on-the-day stationery helps carry the theme through the whole celebration.
Popular Peaky Blinders inspired stationery pieces include:
- Wedding menus
- Table numbers or table names
- Place cards
- Order of the day signage
- Wedding welcome signs
- Seating plans
Using coordinated stationery keeps the styling cohesive and helps reinforce the vintage atmosphere throughout your venue.
Peaky Blinders Wedding Signage Ideas
Wedding signage has become an important part of styling themed weddings.
For a Peaky Blinders inspired celebration, signage can include fun details such as:
- A “By Order of the Peaky Blinders” welcome sign
- Vintage-style table plans
- Bar signs inspired by 1920s speakeasies
- Whiskey or gin station signage
Acrylic signage with dark backgrounds and gold lettering works beautifully for this theme.
It’s All in the Details
As with any successful wedding theme you need to do your research. Don’t just zone in on one element and expect that to be enough detail to carry the whole theme. Take some time to research the twenties and find some details you love.
An easy way to add a nod to the twenties to your wedding décor is to use feathered or beaded centerpieces on your tables. They’re a direct influence from the twenties and look stunning.
Don’t Lose You
Be inspired by what you find but don’t forget to incorporate you and your personalities as well – you don’t want to exact replicas of Tommy & Grace as you’ll lose the uniqueness of you as a couple. Take elements of the era but make them 100% yours!
Have Fun!
Your whole day doesn’t have to be all about Peaky Blinders. If you love the show but don’t want to look back in 10 years’ time and regret having a full on themed wedding, invest in some props and take some shots just for fun.
Dress the Part
Choosing a vintage style wedding dress is a real showstopper, and compliments a twenties themed wedding beautifully. You can be as authentic as possible and wear an actual vintage dress or buy a new gown designed to look the part.
