Seeing stars in front of your eyes? You might have been struck with the latest Celestial wedding craze.
As one of the most influential trends of 2018, anything to do with the Cosmos, from astronomy to astronauts through to astrology and beyond, this is a seriously gorgeous way to infuse your wedding with sparkling and mesmerizing beauty.
A sprinkling of stars on your veil, a sky full of crystal embellishments on your dress, a cake reminiscent of galaxies far, far away, decor based on stars and moonlight, all add suggestions of the mysteries of nebulae and outer space.
For eons, humans have stargazed and pondered upon the night sky – its vastness, its wisdom and its infinity. There is something profound and deeply romantic about it which is something your wedding could also possess with these gorgeous ideas.
What draws us to celestial influences in 2018?
It is hard to know for sure, but our guess is that after years of shabby chic, rustic country and industrial weddings – which indeed all are very earthy in their nature, wedding couples are now ready to climb aboard a rocket and depart into a dark, mysterious and shiny new adventure.
Perhaps it is the state of our own planet that compels us look into space for inspiration and hope. And haven’t we all loved science fiction space adventures are reading horoscopes since our childhood?
Your Groom will be thrilled if you let him sneak in a few space ships into the decor – so let’s infuse some more magic and mystery into our lives.
Although you might not yet feel ready to have an interstellar explosion of astronomy and asteroids at your wedding, nonetheless please allow us inspire you to incorporate a couple or more of these subtle zodiac details that will make your 2018 wedding SO right up there among the stars:
- A midnight blue + Ultraviolet + Gold colour scheme
- Constellation guest book alternative
- Giant gold star balloons
- Generous crystal and sequin embellishments on your dress
- Your veil dusted in sparkly star clusters.
- Night sky wedding stationery suite
- Dark blue marble and gold foil wedding cake + blue macaroons with edible gold dust
