The sun, moon, and stars have inspired creatives for centuries, from the Beatles to Pablo Neruda. And celestial matter—infinite, lucent, incomprehensible—provides a natural metaphor for love. So why not imbue your wedding with a figurative lasso ’round the moon?
For an out-of-this-world color scheme, stick with ink black, metallics, shades of grey, and dark blue. Geodes and agate crystals lend a twinkle to your table displays, while constellations shine on save-the-dates, dinner menus, and seating charts. For your very own night sky, rent a see-through marquee or suspend star lanterns or fairy lights from your venue’s ceiling.
A galactic gown declares your love is limitless. But if that’s too kitschy, try an astral headpiece and a set of half-moon cufflinks for your groom. We’re also partial to extraterrestrial quotes, which make excellent ceremony readings.
Even
After
All this time
The sun never says
To the Earth,
“You owe me.”
Look
What happens
With a love like that.
It lights the
Whole
Sky.
