Many folks believe that “It’s written in the stars,” so what better way to say “I do” than planning a zodiac-themed wedding. You have plenty of incredible options for adding a celestial vibe to your nuptials, and the decor can be subtle or big and bold depending on where you want to take this aesthetic concept. Our wedding experts have put together a list of their favorite ideas for those of you considering a zodiac-themed wedding.

1. Sky Blue/Midnight Blue Theme

One way to incorporate your love of everything astrological such as the celestial heavens, your sun sign, daily horoscope, and zodiac interests is through a color theme for the wedding.

The perfect shade of sky blue can accent your special day. You can use the color in a blue floral bouquet, or as the groom’s tuxedo hue, the bridesmaids’ dresses, tablecloths for the reception, and a lot more.

Sky blue is classic, elegant, and ideal for a zodiac kind of wedding.

You could also choose the nighttime blue or midnight blue for your wedding theme color to bring in a starry evening sort of vibe.

2. Crescent Moon Backdrop

Our wedding pros like a crescent moon backdrop as part of the ceremonial set-up, and it’s a global image that people instantly recognize and enjoy seeing. The moon plays such a significant role in our daily lives because it affects our personalities.

The moon and its eight phases have been studied for many generations, and some scholars believe that the crescent moon’s significance dates back to biblical times.

3. Starry Motifs

Another way to enhance your wedding event is via starry motifs or constellation concepts.

Stars are yet another amazing symbol that many people identify with and find the constellation mysterious and fascinating. You could use decorative constellation prints on the place cards, menus, signage to your reception area, etc.

4. Bridal Decor

The Alexander McQueen Fall 2014 collection included a stunning, ethereal wedding dress that included a dramatic crescent moon and bursting sun cut-outs.

However, that was a one-of-a-kind design and quite pricey, too, but brides can also elevate their wedding day style with jewelry or headpieces that feature tiny stars or crescent moons, zodiac signs, etc.

5. Celestial Wedding Cake

Not only would it look out of this world, but it would be delicious with every slice!

Most bakers would enjoy creating a magnificent, celestial wedding cake for your reception such as a multi-tiered cake that includes zodiac signs, the moon, and other cool astrological accents.

Don’t forget a creative, astrological cake topper, too!

6. Crystal Centerpieces

Every couple wants their reception to go off without a hitch and look beautiful, so our wedding experts like the idea of using crystal centerpieces to strike the astrological mood.

Rough-cut gemstones are so striking and colorful to look at, and upon a linen tablecloth, these pretty crystals add depth and beauty as wedding day centerpieces.

7. Zodiac Party Favors

Artistic sellers from online shops like Etsy offer plenty of ideas for party favors with a zodiac theme.

For example, your guests would enjoy taking home pretty constellation pins to wear or a zodiac scented candle to light up at home.

There are even wedding celebration lollipops sprinkled with tiny stars on them to give to your guests.

8. Glassware, And More

You can find beautifully designed glassware and dinner plates for a zodiac-themed wedding, and a wedding planner can help you seek out gorgeous table settings that will delight your wedding guests.

Maybe you would like elegant, gold accents on the table settings to symbolize the sun and moon. You have tons of celestial decor options.

9. Starry Night Ceiling

Even if your reception is indoors, which many are, you can still have a starry night ceiling. Hundreds of fairy lights can be strung up to illuminate a night sky for your wedding reception. Or you could suspend large statement stars from the ceiling.

Congratulations on your big day! A zodiac-themed wedding is in a gorgeous galaxy of its own. We believe that you will enjoy our ideas for an unforgettable event. Be creative, and think outside the box.
