A Starry Night Theme Wedding
One of the most enchanting themes for an evening wedding is a
starry night. The idea of a wedding held under the twinkling light of
the stars and soft glow of the moon is incredibly romantic, whether the
light is from the night sky or artificially created. Read on for
suggestions on how to put together a starry night wedding that your
guests will never forget.
Certainly, if you can host your wedding
outdoors under the stars, that would be ideal. The perfect spot will
need to be away from the bright city lights that will block your view of
the night sky. An open field would be a wonderful location, perhaps
with some areas tented and some left wide open for the best stargazing.
For many of us, no such location is readily available, which is fine,
too; you can create a magical starry night atmosphere even indoors with
the right lighting and details.
Let your guests get a sense of
your theme with the wedding invitations or even the save-the-date cards.
One beautiful idea would be to have custom invitations created which
have a reproduction of Van Gogh's famous painting "Starry Night" across
the bottom (with room on the top two-thirds of the paper for the wedding
information). A simpler idea would be to select a classic white
invitation bordered with either an inky blue or a gold edge. Line the
envelopes with a paper that features a print of gold stars on a rich
blue background for an elegant and subtle hint of what is to come.
Whether your wedding will take place under the night sky or in an indoor setting, hundreds of twinkling white lights are a must. A very pretty effect can be created by draping large swathes of tulle across the top of a tent and filling the fabric with tiny white lights. They will dance and twinkle just like the stars in the sky, which makes a wonderfully romantic setting for a wedding reception.
Your star motif can be
included in small details throughout the wedding. A beautiful idea for
the reception centerpieces would be to display the flowers in frosted
glass vases with a star pattern. This is actually something that can be
done as a DIY project, if you are so inclined. You take clear glass
vases and arrange star shaped stickers in a variety of sizes all over
the vase. Then paint the vases with a glass etching solution (available
at craft shops) and when you wash it off, the glass will be frosted,
except for the areas that had the stickers, which will remain clear.
Flowers in shades of deep purple would be perfect for the starry night
centerpieces.
Something else that would be a nice table decoration
is floating candles shaped like stars and crescent moons in white and
yellow. They will add a festive touch to your reception tables. A set of
star and moon theme candles could also make a great wedding favor. Tie
them up in a pretty organza bag with a little note of thanks to your
guests for sharing in your special day.
Finally, don't forget about the bride and her wedding party. A starry night theme wedding definitely calls for star theme jewelry. Swarovski creates dazzling crystal stars and moons that can be handcrafted into unique bridal jewelry. A set of crystal bridal jewelry with sparkling stars and moons would be the perfect finishing touch. A starry night wedding is so special that you will enjoy being reminded of your magical evening every time that you wear the Swarovski star jewelry.
