I’m having a 1920’s themed wedding in Oct . I’m trying to identify this font for the wedding inviations.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Handlettered. None of the Os are the same. The two “by”s look different as well.

For the “KINGDOM OF LOVE” face, you might like Goldenbook from Mark Simonson.

I could be wrong here, but I’d say the look of the example you’ve shown there is Art Nouveau rather than Art Deco. If you’re looking for fonts that look like the example you have (regardless of whether its Nouveau or Deco) then you could try http://www.letterheadfonts.com

Indeed, wrong artistic movement. ;^)

Thanks the advise all. It is Art Nouveau not Deco. Thanks for clarifying.

A common mistake, no worries. Art Nouveau is mostly organic, floral and curly, like your sample.
