If you’re a natural and romantic bride-to-be, a space wedding is the perfect way to honor your love for the stars, planets, and everything in between. Embracing astronomical elements, this expansive wedding theme can be incorporated at nearly any venue—including a planetarium, a stargazing observatory, or even your own backyard. And thanks to these stunning celestial wedding ideas, your guests will feel like they’ve stepped into another world.
Start your heavenly celebration with this star-filled stationery suite, created by Jenna Rainey of Mon Voir. A lunar-phase-printed save-the-date, a coordinating invitation with bronze foil and deckled edges, and an out-of-this-world map of constellations direct your guests to their seats. This dazzling menu card by Roey Mizrahi Events puts the evening sky to shame with its blue coloring and gold calligraphy. The frosted paper adds an extra layer of magic, while the quartz charger and geode accents enhance the astrological theme.
During the reception, light your candles in an arrangement that mirrors your star-filled stationery design. These planetary candleholders, also designed by Roey Mizrahi, are both an eye-catching centerpiece and an easy way to bring the space theme to your table settings. A frosted glass cake stand, metallic flatware, and a crystal-detailed dish also elevate these planetary arrangements.
A ginormous sphere or hanging planetarium backdrop is a jaw-dropping focal point for your celebration. This awe-inspiring display can be used to frame your ceremony site, encapsulating your entire wedding party or just the couple, as your guests look up and witness you become one. This stunning backdrop also makes an ideal photo booth location.
Your celestial theme can continue down the aisle with an ethereal bridal gown that glows as bright as the stars. Select a flowing style with organic lines or lacy beadwork, such as this lace dress from Casablanca Bridal. Accessorize your gown with delicate astral touches, such as pastel galaxy-inspired nails or otherworldly hair accessories, for a total look that’s out of this world.
Give your bridesmaids a chance to shine with a custom-made galactic tie that can be worn with their favorite white ensemble. This accessory can add a little extra pizazz to a formal evening gown, but can easily be toned down for a more rustic bridesmaids dress or casual bohemian look.
Make sure your wedding cake is out of this world. This Milky Way-inspired confection from Foxy Cakes features an edible night sky painted with blues and purples. Pink cabbage roses and a crescent moon topper from Twinkle and Toast complete the astronomical display.
Serve your guests something out of this world with a dessert bar full of space-inspired sweets. In vases, orbs, and other unique containers, feature classic treats with an interplanetary twist, such as Space Rocks popping candy, Mars bars, and licorice wands. In addition, offer other space-themed favors that evoke your astronomical theme, like star finders, a kaleidoscope, or moon and star-shaped jars filled with candies.
