Here’s how you should style your wedding, according to your star sign
Planning a wedding can be one of the most stressful things a couple has to deal with. To help alleviate some of the headache that goes along with trying to plan post-pandemic weddings (or those that have already been planned, scuppered and planned again), party decorations experts Ginger Ray has teamed up with the A-list Astrologer Lisa Stardust, to reveal the best way to decorate a wedding, based on the twelve star signs. Now, the only challenge remaining will be deciding which partner’s star sign suggestions to follow!
Whether you’re an avid horoscope reader, or are just plain curious, here’s how Lisa recommends you should style up your big day…
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Wedding theme: Bohemian
Colour scheme: Tie dye
Lisa says: “Aquarians are free spirits who march to the beat of their own drum. Think of Aquarians as the laid back modern day bohemians of the zodiac. They will choose a bright coloured slip dress in lush fabrics, wear a crown of daisies in their hair, and opt to go barefoot to their wedding. Vibrant hues and tie dye is ideal for the air sign’s cool wedding decor. Anything goes as long as it brings positive vibes.”
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Wedding theme: Fairytale
Colour scheme: Seafoam tones
Lisa says: “Pisces are dreamers by nature, which is why they adore fairy tale weddings. Think lace wedding dresses with feather or rhinestone accents. As for the decor, they will choose anything that is ethereal and lush. An upscale beach wedding is ideal for them, because they are the fishes of the zodiac and always yearn to be near the sea. Blues and green accent colours are perfect for Pisces as it reminds them of the ocean.”
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Wedding theme: Classic
Colour scheme: White and red
Lisa says: “Aries are known for their passionate nature, which is why they’ll go for a starch white wedding dress colour with red flowers and decor to showcase their desirable nature. They won’t be afraid of holding back on the decorations, due to their need to always be the best at everything — this includes having a stellar wedding. They’ll have a sporty vibe to their big day and encourage their guests to bring their dancing sneakers.”
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Wedding theme: Botanical
Colour scheme: Antique white and champagne
Lisa says: “Being that Tauruses are so connected with earth and its bounty, they will prefer a botanical wedding that surrounds them with nature, flowers, grassy knolls, and open skies. They’ll opt for an antique white colour scheme to match the abundant flowers and flowing champagne. Moss vines and simple twinkling lights for the evening are a must for a Taurus wedding. Please note: the decor will be second to the food and music because they’re indulgent.”
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Wedding theme: Light and bright
Colour scheme: All-white
Lisa says: “Little known secret: the mutable sign Gemini likes to set a light and airy vibe because they have to have every aspect of their party in their peripheral. This means that they’ll choose an open venue surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows (the sunset is the ideal backdrop for their wedding) with light flowers that blend with their all white colour scheme (they may even add a touch of light grey to offset the crisp white vibe).”
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Wedding theme: Vintage glam
Colour scheme: Millennial pink
Lisa says: “Cancer’s dream since early childhood has been to have the perfect wedding. Therefore, the crab will choose to channel their inner glam vibes and have an old fashioned, vintage look (think 1920s) with champagne flutes, ice sculptures, and top hats. They’ll choose a light pink colour theme that matches the faux fur wrap they will wear around the shoulders to keep them warm (as they usually go for strapless dresses to accentuate their beautiful decolletage and pincers).”
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Wedding theme: Glitzy
Colour scheme: Golds and metallics
Lisa says: “Leos love to make an entrance. Think big flowing dresses with sequins sporadically spread all over for effect with a plunging back or neckline. Although they won’t veer from traditional colours for dresses, they’ll choose glitzy gold or silver with over the top accents like big bright flowers as decor to surround their fabulousness. After all, they are the regal sign of the zodiac which is why their wedding colour scheme will showcase their awesomeness.“
