29 Celestial Wedding Ideas That Will Leave You Starry-Eyed

Something about space has us all a little starstruck—there's a beauty in the great unknown. It's believed that the universe itself has something in common with love and marriage: Despite the vastness of space and time, you and your partner managed to find one another, and that's pretty spectacular. It's no wonder the starry skies have been associated with both destiny and adventure—and if those sound like wedding-worthy themes to you, you're certainly not alone.

Celestial motifs aren't uncommon at weddings, having been embraced by lovers of nature and astrology alike. The sun, the moon, the planets, and the stars can have spiritual and religious connotations, too, making them all the more fitting to appear in a variety of celebrations. Come your wedding day, no one will doubt the fact that your union was written in the stars.

If you're thinking about filling your soirée with plenty of out-of-this-world details, consider moody color schemes and metallic and iridescent details throughout your planning process. Even cakes and cocktails can mimic the marvels of space. Take Carol Oliva and Bridget McKay's constellation-themed place setting, seen here, for example: Note the star-studded blue napkin, the ethereal purple stone seating assignment, the rose-gold cutlery, and the lunar-like gray dish strategically placed over a marble dinner plate to form a crescent shape. The attention to detail feels so fresh and inspired—even the menu's white script by The Crafting Casa elevated this table's collective aesthetic.
