• Hang up glittery tulle or star-imprinted gossamer on walls and ceilings
  
  
• Your celestial wedding needs to feature planets, galaxies, etc. An easy way to do this is to decorate the room with space posters.
  
  
• Have the planets orbiting the room! Print out colored pictures of the planets and enlarge (2 prints per planet - one will have to be a reverse print). Glue a print to one side of poster board. Cut out the planet shape. Glue the matching print to the other side. Hang from the ceiling with tacks and fishing line.
  
  
• Hang foil cardboard stars from the ceiling. Use different size stars hung at different heights.
  
  
• Another easy and inexpensive option is to use moon and star shaped mylar balloons.
  
  
• Set up a 3D solar system on your main food table or gift table.
  
  
• Use table toppers (that just cover the top of the table) cut from star-imprinted gossamer or other similar fabric. If possible, use black or midnight blue colored table cloths underneath instead of white.
  
  
• Sprinkle gold star confetti on tables.
  
  
• Create a centerpiece with helium star-shaped balloons. Place the foam base inside a black bowl or shallow vase. Attach the strings or small wooden sticks from the balloons into the foam. Add shooting star picks and baby's breath.
  
  

• Make your own gel candles in sparkly gold, black, deep blue, deep purple, or silver. Gel candles are very simple to make and the kits come with easy to follow instructions. Pour the gel into small wine glasses or clear glass containers. Decorate the outside of the containers with black ribbon trimmed with gold-glitter glue.
  
  
• Use silver star placecard holders for seating arrangements.
  
  
• Have plain white inexpensive black t-shirts imprinted with the various planets.
  
  
• Here's quite an interesting favor idea: give your wedding guests glow-in-the-dark, mini-bounce balls that feature earth, moon, star or planetary designs on them.
  
  
• Playing cards with the planets or stars imprinted on the back is a fun thank you gift.
  
  
• Wrap celestial shaped chocolates or candies in tulle and tie off with gold cording.
  
  
• Place almonds, candies, soaps or other small favors together in star patterned favor bags.
  
  

• Play favorite songs with the names of the planets in the lyrics.
  
  
• If possible, set up a telescope and gaze at the stars in the night sky.
  
  
• Make up a trivia game based on the solar system. Use questions about the zodiac, astrology, the comet names, etc. This would also make an interesting wedding favor as well.
