PartySlate has searched through our real event albums and rounded up 9 celestial wedding ideas to inspire the dreamer inside all of us. Shoot for the stars and start planning your celestial-themed wedding now.

1. Send Perfectly Aligned Invitations

Your invitations are your guest’s first glimpse into the theme of your wedding. Make sure they are a beautiful representation of your star-studded event.

2. Pick A Venue Under The Stars (Artificial or Not)

Opt for a wedding venue that can help your celestial theme shine. Venues such as your local planetarium can be a stunning option. We also love an outdoor venue that literally allows you to get married under the stars.

3. Incorporate Florals That Become the Star of the Show

Florals alone are a stunning part of any wedding. Florals that tie in your wedding theme are even better. Incorporate star lanterns and twinkle lights into your arrangements to take them out of this world.

4. Set Your Table With Celestial Linen and Décor

Your tables should reflect your dreamy theme with starry dishes, moon shaped placements, centerpieces, and colored glassware. Lola Valentina Designs offers clients their Cosmos Package to infuse any event with the stunning allure of celestial décor and details.

5. Dance The Night Away Under The Stars

Customize your dance floor with your initials, last name, or a celestial symbol as fun way to add a personal touch to your décor. You can accomplish this with a light projection or having it fixed on the dance floor.

6. Keep The Theme Going With Food & Drink

Food shaped like the moon and stars and cocktails named after celestial events is a creative way to incorporate your theme into every aspect of your wedding. Find the right caterer for your event that can make all your foodie dreams come true.

7. Perfect Your Celestial Lighting

Lighting is key in executing your celestial themed wedding. Use string lights to imitate the stars above, candles to set a romantic tone, or ambient lighting to allude to the galaxy.

8. Incorporate Photo-Worthy Celestial Backdrops

A moon shaped backdrop is a show-stopper at any celestial wedding. Acting as a photo-op as well as décor, a backdrop is a stunning way to incorporate your theme.

9. Remember: No Detail Is Too Small

Seating charts, guest books, welcome signs, and more all exist to bring your wedding theme to life. Do not miss an opportunity to add a celestial detail.
