Star Themed Wedding Ideas

"Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight." Stars have long been linked with romance so a star or other celestial themed wedding is an appropriate choice. Imagine getting married outdoors at night with your closest friends in attendance. Evening weddings are easily more intimate and relaxed than day time weddings because people are used to unwinding at the end of the day. Here are some ideas for a cozy and dreamy star themed wedding.

Soft and flowing fabrics, reminiscent of clouds or angels, are an excellent choice for both the bride and bridesmaids. Navy, black, gold, silver, or even white are all stunning for decorations and apparel colors. For the bride, "add a sparkling tiara, and a bouquet of pure white roses dipped in gold as a bouquet. Get the florist to add a couple of shooting star picks into the bouquet with gold streaming ribbons." For an angelic affect, have the bridesmaids wear a slim gold headband to mimic halos. Instead of flowers, they could carry star shaped wands with streaming ribbons attached.

If feasible, you could have telescopes available for guests to get a more personal look at the stars. If you have children at your wedding, be forewarned that they will monopolize this activity. Angel wings, such as those used for children's costumes, are perfect decorations to set the tone. Twinkle lights hung behind dark tulle will also lend a celestial atmosphere to the room. Table centerpieces are easy to make with cotton batting acting as clouds. Set a candle filled hurricane lamp in the center and sprinkle some gold confetti around and you're set. Small, bare branch trees with angel ornaments is another option for centerpieces.

Star covered tulle can often be found at fabric stores and make a "heavenly" covering for your tables. Black or navy tablecloths will make the stars stand out even more. For a more realistic look, a 3D solar system can be a stunning presentation on your food table. Foil star cutouts hung from the ceiling at different heights can add depth. For fun wedding favors, consider giving out glow in the dark stars. Star shaped favor bags can also be purchased for soap, candy, or traditional Jordan almonds.
