Catch a Falling Star Theme Wedding

Capture the essence of a celestial marriage celebration with this falling star theme wedding idea.

Since a celestial wedding theme signifies the night sky, use color accents in midnight blue, black and gold.

Twinkling Star-Light Invitations

Look for designs that signify a star wedding theme. If you'd like to make your own, select midnight blue or black paper and print your wording in gold lettering. If the gold lettering on black is too dark for you, print your wording in black onto a beige or light gold background paper that's been cut to fit inside the black cardstock (leave a 1/4" border of black around the edges.)

Add gold stars down one side and across the tops of the invitations. You could also buy star-shaped stencils and gold glitter acrylic paints and stencil the designs on the invitations.

Starry Night Wedding Decorations

• Use glittering tulle or star-imprinted gossamer on walls and tables.
• Round up some dead bare tree-branches and paint them either black, midnight blue or gold. Secure them in pots filled with sand and string small white lights on the branches.
• String lights from the corners of the room to the center of the ceiling. Hang a large moon from the center. (To make the moon, cut out the moon shape from cardboard and cover in gold foil paper) or use a gold-mirrored disco ball.
• Hang foil covered cardboard stars from ceiling. Make the stars different sizes and hang them at different heights. Or you may choose to use star shaped mylar balloons.
• Paint foam board black and cut into star shapes. Poke holes through the board large enough to insert twinkle lights through the holes. Create a "collage" of 5 to 7 stars in varying sizes to hang on the wall behind the head table.
