Your love story is as unique as the constellations in the night sky, so why not celebrate it with a celestial-themed wedding? Imagine exchanging vows under a canopy of stars, surrounded by the cosmic wonders that have fascinated humanity for centuries. Here are a few ways to incorporate celestial wedding ideas that will add a touch of magic and romance to your special day.

The celestial wedding theme is a great idea to work from for your big day because it is DIY friendly, works with a wide range of color palettes, and builds in a little extra sparkle to your wedding day too. While you may first think of golden metallic throughout the wedding, silver accents work extremely well too! While we often see this style with moody color schemes, you aren’t limited to that – add a personal touch with the colors that are special to you. 

Our love story is written in the stars.

Starry Invitations

Set the tone for your celestial wedding by sending out wedding invitations that evoke the beauty of the night sky. Consider using deep blues and purples as your primary colors, adorned with shimmering silver or gold accents reminiscent of twinkling stars. Incorporate celestial motifs like crescent moons, constellations, and galaxies to create an otherworldly invitation that captures the essence of your celestial love story. Small businesses all over Etsy have great digital items – printable templates where you add your own information or done-for-you options. The invitations can easily lead into matching Welcome Signs may use birth charts, milky way images, or zodiac signs with metallic accents.

Celestial Attire

There are different ways to embrace the celestial theme with your wedding attire. For brides, consider a gown with subtle celestial embellishments, such as star-shaped beading or a gown that mimics the night sky with layers of tulle. Grooms can opt for celestial-inspired accessories like star-patterned ties or constellation cufflinks. Bridesmaids and groomsmen can complement the theme with dresses and suits in deep, rich hues reminiscent of the night sky. The cosmic elements can work especially well as hair pieces, such as this one on Amazon. 

Galactic Decor

​Transform your wedding venue into a celestial wonderland with ethereal decor. Hang strands of fairy lights to mimic stars, and incorporate celestial elements like crescent moon backdrops, constellation aisle runners, and table centerpieces adorned with celestial touches. Consider incorporating hanging planets or stars above the dance floor to create a dreamy atmosphere.

Celestial Ceremony

Elevate your ceremony by incorporating celestial elements. Exchange vows under an arch adorned with twinkling lights or a crescent moon backdrop, while wearing a celestial wedding dress or adding a star studded tie. Consider a celestial unity ceremony, such as pouring two different colored sands into a vase to represent the merging of your cosmic souls. Release biodegradable sky lanterns or bubbles at the end of the ceremony for a magical touch.

Starlit Reception

Carry the celestial theme into your reception with starlit details. For your table settings, opt for star-shaped place cards, celestial-themed table linens, and centerpieces that incorporate elements like crystal stars and floating candles. Create a celestial photo booth with props like star crowns, crescent moon accessories, and galaxy backdrops to capture whimsical memories. Many of these decor items can be handmade pieces with subtle or bold celestial details. You could even name your tables after zodiac signs, or just use them in other celestial wedding decor. This night sky wedding guest book was also a great way to spin the traditional guest book to be more on theme, it could even include NASA’s images of the milky way! Etsy sellers will of course have a lot of options here too with made-to-order items. 

Celestial Cuisine

Delight your guests with a celestial-inspired menu. Consider serving cocktails with names like “Galactic Love” or “Stellar Sparkle.” Opt for a celestial-themed wedding cake adorned with constellations or opt for a celestial dessert bar featuring star-shaped cookies, moon pies, and galaxy-themed cupcakes. Don’t forget a celestial cake topper as golden stars, or a crescent moon. 

Stargazing Lounge

​Create a cozy stargazing lounge for guests to relax and enjoy the celestial ambiance. Set up blankets and cushions under a canopy of fairy lights or string lights, and provide telescopes for guests to explore the night sky. This intimate space will allow your guests to connect with the celestial theme on a deeper level.
