As the years pass by, wedding trends keep on stepping up their game! As a soon-to-be bride, we can understand that at times it gets very difficult to stay on top of all the latest wedding trends, especially if your wedding day is not for a year or two! Well, we are sure that as you’re soon to be hitched to the love of your life, you are already thorough with your wedding research and wedding planning! Until now you might know that whimsical and rustic wedding themes are here to stay for a while and boho-chic styles are still very prominent and most desired in the world of hair and make-up! But have you ever considered adding love poems to your wedding day? 2021 is definitely going to see a rise in popularity of reading wedding poems during the wedding day celebrations! If you ever considered poetry old-fashioned, think again, as these days, they are the most desired wedding trend in the world of weddings!

Romantic words or meaningful lyrics always touch our hearts and make us think about that one person who means the world to us!

Talking about sweet and romantic words, then there is no better time to read out aloud than on your wedding day to the love of your life! In order to find that one poem that suits both of you best, the very first thing that you need to do is determine what style you would like! Are you looking for something that rhymes? Or are you more into modern free verse, just like you? Or are you a die-hard fan of the famous and classic poets? Or maybe you just want a verse on nature? A sonnet? Or even a Haiku will be a great option for you? Just keep in mind that everything is up to you and your choice of poem and poets!

If you are planning to have a sub-ceremony like a unity candle or sand ceremony, we can assure you that reading out a poem to the love of your life while performing all the wedding ceremony actions will definitely make the whole setting more inviting and incredibly romantic! In fact, you can also read your favorite poem even after your ring exchange ceremony just before the officiate offers a blessing of the marriage or pronounces you both officially married!

A wedding is indeed a special moment in the life of every couple! We believe that it is no less than a miracle that the two souls have finally found each other and are all set to start their lives together for the rest of their lives!

“I promise to be true to you tomorrow and today. I promise I will love you. My love will never fade. I promise to be there for you in good times and in bad. I promise I will wear your ring and always hold your hand!”

These kinds of poem lines will surely leave everyone in tears (and have them reaching for their tissues to fix their mascaras)!

Classical Wedding Poem By Famous Word Masters

Here are some of the best romantic love classic wedding poems for you and your partner as the poems never grow old and never fade away! Their essence can be felt by couples for the rest of their lives! Just like Pablo Neruda’s famous poems are great for any wedding.

“Sonnet 116”- William Shakespeare

“Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments.

Love does not love which alters when it alteration finds

or bends with the remover to remove:

Oh, no! It is an ever-fixed mark.

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

it is the star to every wandering bark,

whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.

Love’s not Time’s fool,

though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle’s compass come;

love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

but bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.”

“I’ll Be There For You”- Louise Cuddon

“I’ll be there my darling, through thick and through thin

When your mind’s in a mess and your head’s in a spin

When your plane’s been delayed, and you’ve missed the last train.

When life is just threatening to drive you insane

When your thrilling whodunit has lost its last page

When somebody tells you, you’re looking your age…”

“The Portrait Of A Lady”- Henry James

“It has made me better loving you… it has made me wiser, and easier, and — I won’t pretend to deny — brighter and nicer and even stronger. I used to want a great many things before, and to be angry that I didn’t have them. Theoretically, I was satisfied, as I once told you. I flattered myself I had limited my wants. But I was subject to irritation; I used to have morbid, sterile, hateful fits of hunger, of desire. Now I really am satisfied, because I can’t think of anything better.”

“How Do I Love Thee?”-Elizabeth Barrett Browning

“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight

For the ends of being and ideal grace.

I love thee to the level of every day’s

Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.

I love thee freely, as men strive for right.

I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use

In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose

With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,

Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,

I shall love thee better after death.”

 

Romantic Love Wedding Poem By Unknown Poets

Well, there are some extremely romantic love wedding poems that are not only beautifully but gracefully crafted but handed down to us by anonymous writers. So, the best we can do is thanks to these great artists who have chosen to stay uncredited yet spreading love and tenderness with their beautiful and heart-touching wedding poems! Here are some of the finest and the best lovely romantic wedding poetry by unknown poets for you to incorporate into your wedding day celebration!

“Marriage”- Anon

“Marriage is about giving and taking

And forging and forsaking

Kissing and loving and pushing and shoving

Caring and Sharing and screaming and swearing

About being together whatever the weather

About being driven to the end of your tether

About Sweetness and kindness

And wisdom and blindness

It’s about being strong when you’re feeling quite weak

It’s about saying nothing when you’re dying to speak

It’s about being wrong when you know you are right

It’s about giving in before there’s a fight

It’s about you two living as cheaply as one

(you can give us a call if you know how that’s done!)

Never heeding advice that was always well-meant

Never counting the cost until it’s all spent

And for you two today it’s about to begin

And for all that the two of you had to put in

Some days filled with joy, and some days with sadness

Too late you’ll discover that marriage is madness.”

“True Love”- Unknown Poet

“True love is a sacred flame

That burns eternally

And none can dim its special glow

Orphan grits destiny

True love speaks in tender tones

And hears with gentle ear

True love gives with an open heart

And true love conquers fear

True love makes no harsh demands

It neither rules nor binds

And true love holds with gentle hands

The heart that it entwines!”

 

Heart Touching Poems To Read At Wedding Ceremonies

Wedding poems from famous poets like Rumi, can melt even the hardest of hearts and can easily draw tears even from a stranger. And that is why wedding poems from these poets are incredibly touching and absolutely recommended for your special and memorable day!

“He’s Not Perfect”- Bob Marley

“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.”

So this is love

So this is what makes life divine

I’m all aglow

And now I know

The key to all heaven is mine

My heart has wings

And I can fly, I’ll touch every star in the sky

So this is the miracle that I’ve been dreaming of

So this is love”

“I See The Light”- from Tangled

“And at last I see the light

And it’s like the fog has lifted

And at last, I see the light

And it’s like the sky is new

And it’s warm and real and bright

And the world has somehow shifted

All at once, everything looks different

Now that I see you”

“Let Me Put It This Way”- Simon Armitage

“Let me put it this way:

if you came to lay

your sleeping head

against my arm or sleeve,

and if my arm went dead,

or if I had to take my leave

at midnight, I should rather

cleave it from the joint or seam

then make a scene

or bring you round.

There,

how does that sound?”

Check out the ultimate wedding photography shot list for your wedding day in this resourceful wedding inspiration!

 

You have put an incredible amount of energy and time into your wedding planning by collecting so many inspirations from around the internet. And hence we understand the importance of wedding photos as part of wedding planning priorities. Your wedding portraits will be a testament to the unforgettable wedding day you had, and therefore the photos should be worth all the time and energy spent. So coming up with a must-have wedding photo list and sharing it with your wedding photographer before your wedding day can put you at ease.

 

You will always cherish the memories you create on your wedding day, and your wedding portraits will be the very thing you will look back on in the coming days to reminisce on a beautiful day that you planned yourself. Since all your wedding planning inspirations and resources, starting from you getting ready with your team of bridesmaids all the way through the grand wedding exit, will create uncountable photo opportunities, some of which you can orchestrate and others will be pure candids capturing the rawest of emotions. We have put together a wedding photo list that has all the must-have moments on your wedding day for your wedding photographer to capture.

 

Here is our favorite must-have wedding photography shot list:

 

Shot of the wedding invitation

While listing down your favorite wedding photography list, ask your wedding photographer to capture your wedding paper suite alongside meaningful big day elements like your wedding rings, bridal bouquet, the groom’s boutonniere, other wedding stationeries, and precious family heirlooms. If you hire a videographer for your wedding, ask him or her to fill out the negative spaces surrounding these elements with ribbons and decorations that will fit the wedding color palette. These photographs and videos can ultimately be featured in your reception entryway and backdrops, respectively, later in the night. These amazing wedding shots can also be the ultimate wedding album opener!

 

The wedding ring shot

You spent so much time handpicking your wedding day accessories and jewelry, so be sure to capture that! Tick off your ultimate wedding photography checklist by making sure that your engagement ring and wedding bands are beautifully captured in detailed portraits alongside other bridal and groom jewelry and accessories. Whether you are wearing something old, new, borrowed, or blue, or simply want your choice of trendy and bright engagement ring‘s diamond to steal the show, make sure you talk to your wedding photographer so that you can return to this particular shot over and over again when flipping through your wedding photos. Since most of the brides do not wear their engagement ring very often after the wedding day, this beautifully detailed shot will forever be their favorite reference for the shining engagement ring!

 

The bride getting ready portraits with the bridesmaids

Your time in the bridal suite as a bride will be packed with poignant moments which should be captured no matter what! Is there any bride in the world who wouldn’t love her getting-ready portraits on the wedding day? Probably no list of photographs for weddings is complete without the bride and her bridesmaids getting ready for the big day, wrapped in satin gowns and clinking martini glasses! From gifting lovely gifts to your bridesmaids to making precious memories with them that will go down the wedding album as beautiful keepsakes from this day, never forget to ask your wedding videographer or photographer to document the big reveal of all the crazy wedding dress shopping sprees!

 

Bridal portraits

This is your day to shine in the spotlight and show off that pretty wedding dress that you have scored for the biggest day of your life! Every woman goes through a complete transformation from being a woman to a bride when she slips into her wedding dress, and this is the moment that you as a bride should never shy away from the camera. Ask your wedding videographer or photographer to set some time aside to capture your bridal portraits and take you on a spin through all the wedding photography to-do list poses that you have imagined for yourself all these years.

 

Detailed shots

From showing off your pretty braid to the trendy wedding shoes to how you have managed to customize your bridal accessories in the choice of pastel color combinations for your ever-glowing fairytale wedding, each and every element of your choice deserves to be captured in detailed shots. Your wedding photos list should have this ‘photo evidence’ in a vivid way so that every time you look into them in the future they take you back to this glorious day. If you are rocking a bridal veil and have spent many hours while choosing the prettiest of bridal veil, then be sure to have your photographer snap some pics of this dreamy piece of cloth from every single angle.

 

With the wedding party

Whether you are hosting a Parisian-themed wedding or a simple brunch wedding, your gang of best friends on both sides will surely be dressing up for it! Ask your wedding photographer to capture the natural and candid moments between you and your bridesmaids, the groom and his groomsmen, and all of you together in pretty group photographs, so that these unforgettable wedding moments filled with infectious smiles are captured forever. Make sure to get some laughing ones as these wedding photography shots before the ceremony will be cherished with your closest friends for years to come and hence they better be good!

 

The wedding flowers and heirlooms

You probably spent hours and hours deciding on your wedding flowers. Your wedding flowers include your bridal bouquet, the bridesmaids’ bouquets, the groom and his groomsmen’s boutonnieres, the reception table floral centerpieces, the wedding entry and exit gate flowers, the flowers used for dressing up the aisle, the edible flowers for dressing up the cocktail reception drinks, and the intricate floral designs to dress up the wedding arch. One of the most essential wedding photography tips for brides is to pose with the gorgeous bridal bouquet that they have so carefully chosen to complete the bridal look! The wedding bouquet shots are an absolute must! Your trendiest wedding bouquets and groom’s boutonniere can be organized in beautiful arrangements when they are in their freshest state for capturing. Similarly, little objects and details like if you have incorporated family heirlooms in your wedding, then be sure to include them in your wedding photography checklist, as these details are culturally and emotionally meaningful to the union.

 

The groom shots

Just like your bridal portraits, include beautiful groom shots in your typical wedding photos list. Since it is the day of the groom as well, make sure that it’s his turn to play model, and do not forget to tell the groom how he looks before he hops in front of the camera! Also, you have a very little amount of time before all the groomsmen loosen their tight ties and get rid of their boutonnieres, and hence make sure to capture them in candid and natural groomsmen photographs that will be pasted as happy memories in your wedding album.

 

The first look

Probably one of the best wedding moments to watch over and over again, your first look will create pictures that will last you forever! One of the top must-have wedding photos according to every wedding photographer, make sure to document every moment of your first look if you decide to have one, as these moments are all about celebrating the couple for what they are. Just about when their lives are going to change forever for good, couples can hug one another, laugh, kiss, cry, jump up and down, and soak in the realization that they are about to be ‘one’ from today. However, some couples would rather wait for the moments at the altar and have their first look there. But make sure to include these moments in the shot list for wedding photographers.

 

The emotional first looks of the dad and the groom

Just like the first look between the couple is an extremely emotional moment that deserves to be on the wedding photo ideas list! There are other important first look photographs like the first look between the groom and his dad that will create memorable father-daughter portraits. This is a good alternative for couples who want their first look to take place on the aisle. Speaking of the first look on the aisle, the groom’s reaction to seeing his bride walking down the aisle still continues to be one of our favorite must-have wedding shots. These moments can be really beautiful and should top the curated wedding photo list of shots!

 

The candid moments of the ceremony

A wedding ceremony is filled with tear-jerking emotional moments from belly laugh to happy tears, and each and every one of these candid moments should go into the wedding photo list. Wedding candid portraits are our favorite! All the unfiltered emotions that take place during poignant wedding ceremonies are often the most challenging and rewarding aspects of wedding photography. The ceremony reaction shots of parents as you exchange your wedding vows are our favorite list of wedding detail shots. These real moments are the most artistic, but they are wildly out of the photographer’s control in terms of timing, location, and lighting. Hence, getting some beautiful and candid wedding portraits without disturbing the sanctity of the ceremony will be the ultimate exemplary showmanship of your wedding photography team.

 

The important ceremony moments

You always remember the first kiss! Whether it was on your prom night or it was under the sky on the visit to your favorite aunt on a summer day, this is the day you remember for the rest of your life whether you want it or not. So, commemorating the first kiss at your wedding ceremony is undoubtedly one of the most important traditional wedding photography shots that will have our lovestruck hearts forever. Several other precious moments like the ring exchange portraits and the candid laughs of both the bride and the groom as well as everyone attending the ceremony can make amazing candid wedding portraits for their wedding album. The wedding exit after walking down the aisle with your partner by your side as newlyweds is also one of the most important moments for your wedding photo list. To make it more memorable, you can kiss your partner at the end of the aisle to create the most dreamy couple portrait for your album. This can not only make your wedding guests reach out for their handkerchiefs but also enable your wedding photographer to capture some candid couple portraits that will be so worth it!

 

The wide ceremony site shot

Ask your wedding photographer to take a landscape shot of the entire wedding ceremony. The wide-angle ceremony shot should be there on your wedding photo ideas list as this is an image you will never get to see for yourself on your wedding day since you will be the most core part of the ceremony and cannot see the full scene unfolding. The panorama style shot of your wedding ceremony can also portray your wedding style and overall theme in an enhanced way. It’s a fun and unique perspective to see your wedding from a different angle as it has all your loved ones in it.

 

The couple portraits

You probably cannot wait to find out ‘how to create a wedding shot list’ with more photos of you and your BAE in it! After you exchange your wedding vows and say “I do,” sneak out to the surrounding areas or to some landmarks of your wedding city to take photos of just the two of you as newlyweds for the first time. It’s a nice chance to spend some quality time with your partner and bask in the newfound ‘just married’ glow. Probably the most popular must-have wedding photos of all time, this is the chance for your wedding photographer to capture your connection up close and personal while exploring different locations and witnessing the vivid personalities of both of you come out in front of the lens. To click some amazing candid wedding photos, you have to let loose in front of your wedding photographers and let them click some spontaneous and unplanned candid shots as you allow yourself to relax and revel in those precious moments.

 

The wedding party photos

Arrange everyone in one big group and click amazing wedding party photos as everyone has fun and is ready to kick their party shoes off! Updating your family album with precious family portraits of your wedding featuring all your immediate family and your grandparents with you and your spouse is a great way to take and preserve generational shots that will be passed down the family. Your wedding photography shot list is also incomplete without your group of best friends cheering and having fun while displaying their coordinated tuxedos and dresses. Your gang of bridesmaids and groomsmen will demonstrate the love you have for them.

 

The wedding reception and cocktail hour details

Ask your professional wedding photographers to complete your wedding photography checklist by capturing your guests in action while they are sipping their signature cocktail drinks and mingling around. It is likely that you have spent a lot of time picking linens and centerpieces for your reception and making sure that your photographer captures the glamorous big day wedding ideas that you so carefully implemented by clicking the immaculately designed tablescapes from different angles. The details of place settings and the wedding cake portraits are also important before they are put into action.

 

The first dance and last kiss

Some of the wedding milestones like the first dance and wedding cake-cutting ceremony offer once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunities that should be captured by your wedding photographer. Your first dance portraits as you twirl around the dance floor can capture all the fun you are having. Adorable cutting and eating of the wedding cake portraits are definitely cute and should be included in your list. Also, your wedding photographer should never forget to capture your loved ones letting loose on the dance floor! Last but not the least, snag one more smooch on your way out as a perfect ending to your big day. The last kiss portrait on your wedding day can be a beautiful and emotional end to an unforgettable day.

Step one to checking off your must-have wedding photo list is to hire a wedding photographer you are most excited about and put your trust in the professional expertise that they have to offer. Choosing a great wedding videographer or photographer is already half the battle won, since their years of experience have qualified and prepared them for all the precious and beautiful wedding moments that they are supposed to capture. When you hire a professional wedding photographer, you hire someone who knows what they are doing and are eager to put out their best work for you. So relax and enjoy your wedding while your wedding photographer captures each and every moment of your big day according to your wedding photo list!

Looking for celestial ideas for your wedding? Check out our blog featuring some magical celestial themes for a unique wedding!

It was when the stars aligned in that perfect way that you met that special person, and your world hasn’t been the same since then. It has become all kinds of magical overnight and has only gotten better over time! So when the day comes when that lover of yours proposes to you with a ring that sparkles like the stars embedded in the velvety night sky, you know he is the one you want to spend all your eternity with! For the lovers who are stargazers and wish on the falling stars and marvel at the poetic beauty of the moon, we have the perfect theme for your wedding! We will spare you the “out of the world” analogies, but what better way to get married to your one in a million partner than incorporating and committing to a celestial wedding theme? There is something dreamy, romantic, and enchanting about a celestial wedding theme with its dark and moody color palette teamed with the glittering and starry lighting which makes this the perfect setting for the dreamers among us! The celestial wedding theme is a decor aesthetic with inspiration borrowed from the cosmos, the stars, the sky, and astronomy! A moodier sister of a boho wedding, a celestial-inspired wedding leans more towards a romantic vibe with its sultry, midnight blue colors to iridescent details. You have the whole of the universe to seek inspiration from, so while the wedding theme is quite particular, it is also abundant in options! While one can seek to be inspired by the familiar like the stars, the moon, clouds, and the magical midnight sky, there is a whole lot we are not familiar with too, which can add a bit of whimsy and mystic charm to a wedding! A celestial wedding is a perfect blend of whimsical and bohemian, with a quintessential touch of moodiness and magic. Read on more to know all that there is to know about hosting a wedding inspired by the celestial bodies!

Colors to choose

For a celestial-themed wedding, the colors are inspired by the night sky, with a lot of navy blues, deep greens, and purples with colors borrowed from the sunsets like pinks and dark oranges. Icy blues of the moonlight, milky whites, and metallic silver, gold, or bronze elements are also included to add an accurate cosmic depiction of the day. However, these are just the traditional colors associated with the celestial theme, and you can go for your own unique spin, whether you choose a dusty pink with rose gold, or the ethereal white and silver, there are various micro color combinations that work just as well with this theme.

Celestial invitation

The wedding invitation is like a trailer of the actual day and is always the perfect platform to establish a wedding theme. So setting the right foot forward with a wedding invitation that drops some jaws is the perfect way to get the ball rolling. You can go for something simple like a quote with the theme in mind and your wedding colors and a sprinkling of celestial details, or you can go for something more specific like a lunar calendar marking your wedding date, a zodiac match of you both as a couple, moody invitation suite with loopy metallic fonts with dreamy translucent layers, and clever details like a bottle of sparkles as moon dust, crystals or a mini telescope!

Fun interactive ideas

People are usually invested and awed with a wedding theme that is a little out of ordinary, and want to fully immerse in that experience! So having a celestial wedding theme with some interactive exercises will entice your guests and encourage them to get involved. You can go for zodiac-led seating arrangements, tarot reading, predictions, forecasts, and such, which will ensure that your guests head home with a striking and memorable experience from your wedding day! This will also make them feel like they were really a part of your wedding vision. Another fun idea is to have your wedding guests sign your guest book in a creative way as they sign on a visual print out of the night sky on your wedding night! This can be a beautiful keepsake!

Magical night ceremony

While day weddings are usually the norm, there is something about a night ceremony that really brings the theme together. With the dark and moody play of aesthetic lighting, the cosmic sparkle, and an evening reminiscence of the night sky, there is something about a night ceremony that is quite a sensory experience, unusual and exciting! Also, this offers tremendous opportunities for some amazing photography! Whether it is you and your partner or the whole wedding party, the pictures captured as the sun sinks on the horizon and the moon has just come up are just magical!

Galactic decor

The decor is one of the most important parts of the wedding experience, especially when the wedding leans to a particular theme. For a celestial wedding, there is so much that can be done for decoration, be it creating the wooden lunar cutouts for a more authentic experience, creating a dreamy ceremony backdrop that makes the couple look like they are really floating in the cosmos, and dancing with the stars as they say “I do,” or various hanging star installations. And that’s just the start of it! Seek inspiration from the great unknown and let your creativity take you places you never dreamed of! The devil is in the details, so let the details spill out on the wedding reception tables, the welcome table, the aisle, the cake, and everything else! There is a lot to be said, so put out those dreamy signs so that quotes like “love you to the moon and back” can be put out in all their glory! It is the stardust here and the moody grays of the moon there all tie in the theme together to be truly out of the world!

A dreamy dress

With a wedding theme as magical as this, you know you have to dress the part, right? For a truly outer-worldly experience, go for floaty dresses with lots of starry details, translucent layers, shimmers, and embellishments! Also, don’t shy away from glitter! The movement of the dress should be easy, yet the presence should be impactful, and going for a long dramatic train might be a great idea! While you can make even a white and cream dress sufficiently celestial, if you are feeling bold, you can also go for a silver or gold sequinned dress, icy blues, or deep midnight blues for the maximum impact! If you want to keep your dress more or less classic, you can play around with celestial details in your wedding veil! A long cascading veil with pearl details, starburst, fluid shimmers, and luminous and iridescent glow flowing after you gracefully can really make a statement! Your bridesmaids can work together to bring your celestial bridal party to life with glimmering celestial bridesmaid dresses.

Starry accessories

While the outfit provides a ubiquitous ode to the theme, it is the little details of the accessories which make the theme seem intentional and well-thought-out! Whether it is a Game of Thrones-inspired headgear with rhinestones and precious gems, or whether it is a whimsical sprinkling of stunning hair accessories, there is a lot that you can do to add to your outfit and amplify it. A set of beautiful galaxy-inspired hairpins, a charm bracelet with the moon phases, or a set of more magical starry earrings, all are little details that leave behind a memorable image in the mind of the guests. You can also go bold and hold a galaxy-inspired hoop instead of a bouquet as you walk down the aisle. There are so many celestial-inspired hair accessory options out there, and accessories like brooches and rings, that you are sure to have all kinds of options for you to choose from!

Best face forward

One word when it comes to celestial wedding makeup– shimmer! Your celestial-themed wedding allows you to play with glitter, shimmer, and face stickers, and allows you to live your best celestial goddess dreams! While there is still the option to wear a more minimal face of makeup and go for classy golden or silver accents on the eyes, you can have fun with midnight blue lashes and smokey eyes for a more intense look, or go ethereal and fairy-like with golden freckles, highlighter with shimmer and tiny star-shaped face stickers. The theme provides you all reigns to have fun, so go ahead and let your lunar goddess or medieval celestial goddess come through!

Stardust Hair

Just like makeup, there is a lot of fun to be had while creating the perfect hairstyle for your celestial wedding! You can go for updos with celestial hair accessories, forehead bands, or crowns for a more formal look, so go for airy bohemian vibes with constellation-inspired barrettes, or tiny stars speckled throughout your flowy lengths. You can team your sparkly hair accessories with a bare-there veil embellished for a peek-a-boo effect if you are wearing a veil at all! On the other hand, you can go basic with the hairstyle and let your veil do the talking with enchanting embellishments!

Light it up

The lighting of the celestial wedding is something that should be paid close attention to! One of the gorgeous ways to run the celestial wedding theme is by adding abundant string lights overhead for a starry night feeling. You can also add star-shaped glass tealight holders for the effect of floating stars! Also, oversized sequins in shimmery drapery can reflect light and add a magical starry effect. You can also hang metallic stars and crescent moons so that the light can reflect off them as well, creating a beautiful ambiance! In addition to that, candles never go out of style! However, you can try incorporating candle holders with star cut-outs so that there can be stars dancing all over. Strategically placed disco balls, starry night projectors, and moon-shaped neon lights are some other stunning ways to light up the wedding day with the brilliance of all the stars in the sky!

Stars in your plate

Another fun way to add magic to your celestial wedding theme is by introducing it to the food and drinks, especially the part of the reception dinner which is set out for display, like the sweet table or the bar area! This is a really fun way to bring the theme into your plate! There are so many celestial wedding cakes out there for one to take their pick from. From crystal-inspired cakes to dark and moody constellation cakes to simple white and gold ones, there is a lot to choose from. You can top it off with a cute cake topper! While the wedding cake is the perfect way to tie a theme together, you can also do so with celestial-themed cupcakes, moon pies, gemstone truffles, moon-shaped macarons, and more! There are also many creative celestial drinks to take your pick from, and you can accessorize it all with cute stirrers that fit the theme perfectly!

Soon, it will be time for your guests to leave, so let this magical dreamy wedding of yours stay on longer in their minds by sending them off with the most fitting wedding favors! Think along the lines of a small customized bottle of moonshine, a small telescope or binocular for stargazing, a pack of tarot cards, or a small bottle of “stardust” which can be a bottle of honey mixed with edible glitter! There are so many wedding favor options for you to get creative with!

The world is full of wonders and miracles, and sometimes we just need a reminder! After all, we are walking on a tiny blue planet circling around a ball of fire and are just a speck of dust compared to the massiveness of the universe! That is a miracle enough in the fact that we exist, and we should thank our stars for the same. And then there is love, another wonder that exists in this universe! Whether you are looking inward or outward at the unknown, there is a lot of magic strewn in the most random and seemingly normal functions of life. If you and your partner are awed by the beauty and the grace of this universe every day and want that to be a part of your special day, a celestial wedding theme brings in that sense of wonder to your special day quite beautifully and aesthetically! A celestial wedding is sure to provide a couple a slice of wonder, mystery, and magic smack dab in the middle of the ordinary!

Over the Top Wedding Ideas We Can’t Help But Love

Check out this wedding blog featuring ideas that are slightly over-the-top but absolutely beautiful for weddings!

 

They say cats have 9 lives and hyenas have 7! Really? You might ask. Well, we don’t know, but we do know that humans get just one life! YOLO! We only fall in love once, and we only want to tie the knot once! So it only makes sense if we want to go over the top on our most special day! But we also understand that not everyone can hang the cost to make their dream of a lavish fairytale wedding come true! While some couples just want to ensure that their wedding is unique within their pre-set wedding budget there are others who want their wedding to be a flamboyant show-stopping affair that their guests talk about for decades to come as if they don’t have a care in the world. Regardless of your wedding theme or location, picking the perfect wedding decorations out for your reception can feel like a never-ending task. From an aisle running through the pool to a walk down the aisle with a unicorn to a one-of-a-kind ceremony backdrop that’ll make you feel like a celebrity, it’s our pleasure to enlighten you with the luxurious wedding ideas we can’t stop talking about. With very few installations and little furnishings, we have come up with some of the most celebrated wedding details that can transform any average wedding day into an epic celebration of extravagance and royalty.

Your sliding door moments with the love of your life have put you both on a lifelong adventure. And the wedding day that would seem light-years away until a few months ago is now coming towards you at the speed of light! We are sure you already have kick-started your wedding planning. Financially, weddings were a challenge but after 2020, aesthetically too, weddings have become a task. This year we saw drastic changes in wedding trends than ever before like large extravagant wedding venues being replaced by small simple backyards and courthouses, magnificent sweeping designer wedding gowns by low-key short wedding dresses, large wedding guest lists of about 500-1000 people by a list of 10-25 nearest and dearest, and grand gala affairs by small intimate weddings like micro weddings, minimonies, elopements, and virtual weddings to name a few. From microgreens to mini cupcakes and even tiny houses, everything seems to be getting smaller. But small doesn’t mean less important or gruey. It’s not the size of the detail that makes it special it’s the aesthetics it is able to exude. Ahead we have rounded up a few unique glamorous #weddingideas that will bring unlimited extravagance to your big event! But before we take a plunge into the sea of our favorite extravagant and clever wedding ideas, allow us to tell a little about the last over-the-top wedding that I personally attended as a guest.

Story Time!

About two years ago when everything was fine and dandy I attended a wedding of my close friend – it was a summer wedding and the venue she chose was a huge banquet hall and almost all the arrangements including the ceremony set-up, which was looking like nothing but a page from a fairytale storybook with a cherry blossom backdrop, were done outdoors. The entrance was decked up with huge beautifully framed couple portraits as far as the eyes could see which were later given away to the family and friends as wedding favors (I also received one which is hanging on the wall of my room). The guest count was huge, around 2000 (give or take) and food and beverage options were endless. I (and I am sure everyone who was present there) couldn’t even taste half of my favorite items as it was a never-ending buffet-style table with mouth-watering food. The wedding photographers and videographers were on their toes with their equipment. Drones were hovering over our heads making sure every single detail was covered from every angle. From entrance to guest tables to aisle, every nook and corner was screaming elegance and extravagance. With romantic flowers and golden uplighting everywhere I looked, I am sure the bride was feeling like walking into a fairy tale while walking down that aisle and the groom was like her prince charming while dancing with her Cinderella under the over-sized cosmic chandelier on the heavenly dance floor full of artificial fog. The day was everything magical, and I am sure it got etched in the memories of everyone present there. I could talk about the wedding till the cows come home! Here’s the catch, I remember the wedding because of those over-the-top details! Couples incorporate these luxe wedding ideas not only for guests to remember the day but also to live the happiest once-in-a-lifetime moment of their lives in an unforgettable way! Brownie points: swoon-worthy wedding photography.

Let floral centerpieces defy the gravity

This one is for those who are madly in love with orchids! And as Susan Orlean (the author of “The Orchid Thief”) said in her book “Orchids seem to drive people crazy,” bazillions of white orchids standing high on the guest tables not only promise tons of aesthetics and elegance but also allow your loved ones to mingle and witness the festivities far and wide through the space provided by tall elevated stands holding the hanging blooms. The joy of joys is that these tall sumptuous floral centerpieces are practical to arrange and only add to the grandeur of your reception. If flirty florals don’t make it to your wedding budget or your eco-conscious heart then let baby’s breath take your guests’ breath away! The baby’s breath adds softness and has romantic, ethereal characteristics. DIY your tall baby’s breath centerpieces and amp them up with seasonal blooms of your choice. A little sprinkling of your favorite ones here and there amidst the tons of baby’s breath in glass vases will do the trick! We don’t see any no-fuss, budget-friendly option that fits practically into any wedding decor more than baby’s breath when it comes to tablescapes’ centerpieces to feel extravagant. You may order your flowers from Sam’s Club or from Costco who sells bulk flowers including Baby’s Breath. You might also want to deck up the guest tables with something that screams luxurious like nothing else and that’s lace. All the more appropriate!

Tons of flowers in the backdrop can upgrade the ‘I do’ moment dramatically

The bride is dressed to the nines and the groom is looking like no less than a movie star. But if the backdrop is run-of-the-mill, don’t you think all their efforts can go down the drain? Don’t let the middle-of-the-road stuff make your extra-ordinary moment a dull ordinary one. Think flower walls! Not as photo booth backdrops but as your ceremony backdrop! No, I am not away with the fairies! Turn your mundane ceremony tent into an enchanted garden with a dramatic, gigantic floral display. You’ll have your guests swooned by this next-level extravagance! For the ultimate over-the-top look, flank the aisle with rustic candles! You may also use creating lighting to project an image onto the outside.

Let the stars light up your tented reception

When you think about it, nature really does offer some of the best décors! Case in point: A starry night sky. You might also opt for an open tent decked up with some drapes here and there to invite the twinkling stars to your celebration. Give your guests a dazzling view of fireworks at the end of the night (only if it made it to your budget). You might want to create an intimate feel by draping the walls or a romantic tent-like atmosphere or choose to deliver an element of luxurious experience by handing your guests out petal poppers or floral cannons, so they can enjoy showering you and your spouse with fresh petals as you walk the aisle as newlyweds.

Nothing can frame your best ever moment as the blooming frame does

The GOAT dream of your life comes true beneath a lush array of your favorite flowers, no wonder it’s a focal point of the ceremony space reflecting the mood of your special day. Whether you’re exchanging nuptials in a Jewish way under a standout chuppah covered in flowers on all four sides making a soft, but major statement, or simply want to kiss as newlyweds beneath a cascading cluster of your favorite roses, ceremony structures are a prime element to wedding planning. Take your “I do” moment notches above with an arbor that is all dolled up like a bride with pastel-colored roses and fronds in abundance. This 14-foot arch was decorated with fresh ferns, gardenias, and spray roses to create an ethereal woodland vibe that complimented the intimate outdoor setting. What we imagine – it would be a little like exchanging nuptials above the clouds below the rainbow. Remember the place where you become husband and wife lies under the shade of the wedding arch, so it must shower the good wishes in all colors straight from Mother Nature!

Let your wedding cake take the cake!

A wedding cake has become more than just a dessert not to mention! Think massive geometric cakes or multiple tiers with intricate details, like fondant appliqués, edible metallic foil, cascading florals, and buttercream frosting featuring ruffles or intricate texturing. Whether it’s a monet-inspired wedding or bohemian-inspired wedding, transform your cake into decor with careful designs and hand-painted accents to take your cake-cutting moment to the next level. These art deco over-the-top multi-tiered wedding cakes are almost insanely beautiful to eat but somehow, we think we’d manage! Make sure your wedding cake table is as opulent as your sweet masterpiece. Look at the larger-than-life cake (quite literally!) in the image above – how beautifully this oh-so-gorgeous six-story wedding cake from Haydel’s Bakery and the classy glass table surrounded with millions of lovely garden rose vases and romantic candles floating in the cute cylinder glass vases where it is placed are looking like MMIH! We can’t our eyes off of this full of out-of-the-world whimsy wedding cake table arrangement! We love how each hand-applied ruffle along with the delicate lace patterns on alternating tiers is matching the color palette and rustic theme. From the moment your loved ones will walk into the reception space until you and your brand-new spouse will cut the first piece together, it promises to serve as a decoration that they will talk about for the rest of their lives!

Nothing stands higher than a castle-like wedding venue in the world of luxury

No doubt your over-the-top nuptials can take place just about anywhere, but nothing can house a gala storybook-inspired wedding quite like a palace can! In fact, a castle-like wedding venue boasting lofty ceilings, gilded elements, intricate architecture, old-world pillars, enticing wall paintings, dramatic staircases, antique chandeliers, and interesting props like a piano is the most relevant venue to flaunt the royalty in your personality and the princess-inspired designer ballgown that you ran to earth! Here, we are not encouraging you to opt for a wedding venue that costs you the earth but to choose one that really highlights your very own and hand-selected aesthetics. There is a cartload of castle-like wedding venues out there that can bring your wedding visions to life without you breaking the bank! Or you could simply find a reception room that is as regal as this one at Oberoi Udaivilas, Udaipur, India that won’t need tons of flowers and expensive table linens. Also, there’s something truly special about venues with mountain views, and this historic castle wedding venue at Windham in New Hampshire provides some truly awe-inspiring scenery. For your own version of a royal (or Game of Thrones-inspired) wedding, you could also opt for a magnificent venue with great outdoors so that you can enjoy alone-time with sweetheart overlooking the striking natural beauty in the surroundings in the middle of the festivities to charge up for the remainder of the wedding day celebration and your wedding photographers can capture breathtaking sunset shots while you two are sharing sweet nothings at the golden hour.

Not to mention, a bewitching palace-like venue calls for an over-the-top bridal look

Nothing says glamorous quite like a ball gown! So, channel your inner princess out by walking down the aisle in a stunning designer number with a full skirt. Don’t forget to pair your sparkly princess-y gown with a tiara – an appropriate accessory to make you feel like what you are, and you are going to be – your dad’s princess and your sweetheart’s queen! There are myriad ways to bring elegance to your wedding day look, but we’re obsessed with accessorizing the dress with a wispy long dramatic veil, a crown or headpiece, gold or pearl accessories, and an elegant bridal bouquet! Do not forget to outfit your mother like a queen and ‘maids in glamorous dresses as you will shine like a moon only if they will twinkle like a star! For an instance, choose long solid pink bridesmaids’ dresses made of chiffon for your gals to keep the collective look sophisticated if you are donning a crisp white designer Cinderella-like bridal gown complete with a dreamy sweeping veil and tons of frou-frou.

A bottle full of thanks can elevate the wedding by manifolds

Even your wedding guest favors can get a glamorous upgrade. Add perfect endings to your new beginnings, with the perfect amount of liquid love and enthusiasm! Giving away a bottle of wine or mini bottles of champagne as wedding favors to the guests ensures the celebrating (and luxury) doesn’t stop even after the party is over. Adorn the guest favors with cute ribbons calligraphed with each guest’s name for a sweet gesture. You can personalize the labels using the colors, fonts, and designs for your special day. Consider incorporating the colors and themes from your wedding into a custom label for coordinated champagne or wine wedding favors. For now or later – serve these bottles straight from the wedding reception bar, or include them in a goodie bag as a keepsake. Add your wedding date to the label to have it etched in their memories forever. The 187-ml single serving size makes this a fantastic wine wedding favor that your guests can take home in a bag or enjoy at the wedding.

Dream big!

Brides and grooms on a budget often have to get extra thoughtful when planning their king-size ceremony and reception. But skimping on costs doesn’t mean you have to do away with your dream of having a picture-perfect big day. Every wedding has almost similar rituals and revolves around the same details. It’s only the extravagant decor or details that make it an amazing and unforgettable affair. Let’s face it! It might take a king’s ransom to pull off something different and amazing. And we can’t deny the fact that over-the-top weddings can cost you an arm and a leg but let us tell you that it’s not something that is achievable with a generous budget. You only need to forgo a few elements that are less important to you, or that you could do without! With that stubborn C-virus still breathing down our necks, intimate weddings are de rigueur and the large weddings don’t seem to be back any time soon and whatever savings the small weddings bring with them can be put towards the dream of your larger-than-life, over-the-top wedding. Where there is a will, there is a way!

Some of our favorite wedding details that can transform any wedding:

 

Visionary wedding venue

Your selection of wedding venue can make or break the deal. In the case of hosting a luxurious and extravagant wedding, no wedding venue is off-limits, and you can truly host a fairytale wedding. From renting entire islands to getting married in an airplane, we have seen couples get married in a wide range of luxurious and visionary wedding venues. Ranging from private islands and castles to vineyards and countrysides, your selection of wedding venue should be sophisticated and elaborate and it should not need to fit the mold. Choosing a luxurious wedding venue is the first step for extravagant beginnings and transforming these event spaces becomes easily doable as such wedding venues speak grandeur and uniqueness for themselves.

 

Top-notch service

Setting the tone for a luxurious wedding celebration begins with personalized and instinctive services. There should be a single point of contact, ideally a dedicated wedding specialist, who can ensure the wedding details come together effortlessly. The dedicated wedding specialist of your luxurious wedding venue can be the resource to help and select top-notch wedding vendors. Your selection of wedding vendors is the key to creating a flawless and sophisticated experience. Proximity to upscale vendors is also paramount. When researching venues, inquire about staff ratios so guests do not encounter hiccups like unnecessary long lines.

 

Creating an experience

Making people feel welcome aboard, entertaining them with excellently artistic options, treating them with wholesome details, and sending them back home with an unforgettable experience sums up the key details of a luxury wedding. To begin this, put yourself in the guests’ shoes and look at every element of the day from their perspectives. Look at the details and organizations and make sure you understand the entire process and every point they are going to have interactions with, and how do you want that to be. From extravagant activities like creating a customized gourmet cuisine experience and a private yacht tour to simple wedding details like a little note or sign or a special guest book, the thoughtfulness behind these details can elevate the entire wedding experience in a different way.

 

Customized feast experience

For creating a memorable experience for your guests, your wedding should be a series of gourmet culinary indulgences with personalization of every detail right from cocktail selections and hors d’oeuvre to main course and desserts. For instance, you can pick up any popular signature cocktail and add your dash of culinary creativity by including ingredients like foreign liquor, cordials, and a selection of herbs. The refined dining experience that will be presented to your guests will stay with them forever. Your wedding guests might not remember the exact floral details or what song played when you walk down the aisle, but they will definitely remember what they ate, especially if it was particularly bespoke and delicious. Customize your wedding menu and accommodate tons of tasty options by keeping common food allergies and dietary restrictions in mind. Bring in food experiences like a cocktail hour with petite Beef Wellingtons and bacon-wrapped scallops served with ‘Beet Martini’, and the list of epicure creativity can go on and on. You can also set aside time for a private tasting- it’s a good sign if the venue offers a relaxed and intimate space to taste and sample the food.

 

Upscale wedding décor

Whether you want something classically elegant with clean lines and a good old white and gold-themed wedding, or you want to bring in something bold like black and gold, your wedding is a series of opportunities to treat your guests to fabulous sights, smells, and sounds. It should be a feast of the senses in everything that touches the aesthetics- look, sound, smell, feel, and everything else that comes into a big play. From including custom neon signs that showcase the initial of your last name or the popular wedding hashtags, to working with your florist for bringing in small trees to break up the dinner tables, or wrap a pergola with vines and greenery to make your head table stand out, your timeless wedding décor should embody understated luxury and tasteful simplicity. Considered the entire wedding venue as a blank canvas where you can start crafting your luxury occasion with the expertise and intuition of a wedding specialist. You might want to create an intimate feel by draping the walls or a romantic tent-like atmosphere or choose to deliver an element of luxurious experience by handing your guests floral cannons, which they can shower the bride and groom with fresh petals as they walk the aisle.

 

Statement-making aisle designs

All eyes will be on you as you walk down the aisle on your wedding day and upscaling your aisle aesthetics is the best way to ensure that your ceremony entrance is extra grand. From setting the tone with some amazing wedding music and unique lighting to wearing a statement-making wedding dress and decorating the aisle with something meaningful are some of the best ways to make a statement with your wedding aisle designs. Ranging from decorating your aisle with loose greenery, white florals, and pampas grass for creating a modern eclectic boho feel to walking down the aisle with your mother or with both parents, there are many modern ways to make a statement on your wedding day as you walk down the aisle.

 

Personalized details

From the choice of wedding flowers to the choice of the cocktail menu, every wedding decision should be personal for the couple that is exclusively their own. Personalizing the wedding details according to the unique personalities of couples that differ from one another, and bringing them to the wedding detail palette is a great way to add sentiments and emotions to your wedding planning process. Creating wedding moments that will stay with your guests forever will start with great designs that lie in the details– the table linens, the wedding signs, the little jokes you sprinkle throughout your different wedding reception spaces, and so on. Bring your own story and personality into the mix and host a wedding that is fully yours. For instance, the wedding table numbers can be named after your favorite places in the world or you can place handwritten notes to each of your guests in envelopes that serve as their escort cards.

 

Splurge on incredible lighting

Your wedding lighting is one of the most important parts of the party especially because good lighting is inevitable for incredible wedding photography. Hanging extra lights- the dreamy cafe lights, glowing lanterns, and grand chandeliers is a great way to transform your wedding space. Whether it’s for your ceremony or reception, it’s worth the investment to upgrade to unique or romantic lighting that will add tons of interest to your photos. The warm glow of amber and pink uplights make even the simplest event space feel chic and stylish along with being super flattering for memorable wedding photos. You can also highlight a few spots within your reception space with smaller lights to bring in more drama. For instance, aim pin spots at the cake table and escort card table or shine a monogram gobo light on the wall behind your sweetheart table, which will instantly transform the space into a cozy and ambient atmosphere.

 

Creative reception options

If your wedding venue spacious and airy, you can divvy up the reception space from the typical round table and dance floor arrangements. As an alternative to the traditional reception seating arrangement, you can set up a lounge area, a zone of cocktail tables, and outdoor seating spaces which will add a sense of relaxation and laid-back vibe to the entire reception party. Long banquet-style tables look aesthetically beautiful and make it easy for conversations and mingling. You can also skip the traditional white linen and go for funky runners, tablecloths, and napkins in quirky and fun colors to create eye-catching reception settings. If you are a fan of understated sophistication, then opt for bold wedding color palettes for your linens, and go for the metallic route, and deck out the tables with sequin table runners with bold centerpieces and dangling focus lights.

 

Amazing entertainment options

Paying special attention to entertainment amenities is an inevitable part of hosting a luxurious wedding. Invest in a great music band or a popular DJ if you want your guests to remember having a blast at your reception. The pro-entertainers are known to be crowd pullers as they are known for playing a selection of wedding tunes that can pull your friends and family out of their seats to the dance floor. From hiring your celebrity favorite to famous artists for performing during receptions, the idea behind these extravagant entertainment options is to make the wedding event memorable and treat your guests to a special performance they will remember forever. Apart from dance and music, alternative wedding entertainments can be anything from hiring illusionists and exotic dancers to arranging for broadway shows, circus acts, and bespoke shows.

 

Host an after party

Just the sound of an after-party sounds fun and memorable! But if you are planning for an extravagant send-off, you can extend your reception hours and move to a smaller venue or even a bar to give your guests the option of partying till dawn. Who could pass up an invitation to a wedding like that? Hosting an after-party is the best way to say thank you to all your friends and family without even saying it, as they have traveled so far to be with you on the biggest day of your life. Fantastic after-party ideas can be anything from an outdoor bbq and pizza party with your favorite Spotify list on to heading off to an outdoor excursion the next day.
