I was lucky enough to be asked to design an Edwardian themed wedding invitation suite for a styled shoot at the Ruby Street venue again. It was so lovely- soft and pretty palettes and stunning photography from Peterson Design Photo. From the ceremony backdrop, painted wedding cake, and stunning turn of the century venue; this really was a beautiful step back in time. We were featured in my favorite blog, Chic Vintage Brides and Glamour & Grace.

There is noting more glamorous or heavenly than a celestial wedding theme. It's an omnipresent theme for any decade. Think of the early 1900's when Harry Houdini and mystics were big. Think of the flapper in the 1920's with glitter star headbands. The star shape itself is so geometric it can easily become Art Deco. And think about the 1950s and Elizabeth Taylor in her "new look" gown- it just screams for stars and romance under a glittery moon.

Perhaps it's the adventure and unknown that draws us to celestial themes...or the love of nature and the elements? Maybe that the star is such a nice balanced shape and moons convey romance. And just maybe, the biggest reason is that we all love glitter. The more the better! Whatever the case, celestial-themed weddings will surely have you and your guests starry-eyed! A few ideas to help with your theme:

-- twinkle lights

-- glitter, the more the better!

-- vintage rhinestone bouquet

-- fortune teller, mystics 

-- lake wedding with canoe bar and bistro lights

-- zodiac and astrology imagery

-- indigo and gold

-- navy and copper

-- paper moon photo backdrop from Paper Moon Shoppe

With all of the perfectly styled details from the paper moon ceremony backdrop and chic place settings of the sweetheart table, to the jaw-droppingly opulent florals and stunning wedding cake... this Art Deco styled shoot is sure to please. I was asked to design a set of Art Deco wedding invitations for this lovely shoot by Marisa Peterson, the amazingly talented Photographer based in Southern California. The results landed us with a major feature in Green Wedding Shoes and Chic Vintage Brides. Marisa is my go-to Photographer... she just really gets all things beautiful, vintage and sublime! No vintage wedding is ever complete without a paper moon back drop from the Paper Moon Shoppe either!
