Ever feel like your love was written in the stars? Like the planets aligned ever so perfectly to bring you two together? That’s precisely the feeling we wanted to evoke in our celestial styled photoshoot.

Somewhere out there, in the middle of nowhere on a long dirt road, where the city lights couldn’t possibly obstruct the view of the stars, we set our scene. Delicate pale flowers and frosty blue and white accents charmed an intimate setting.

Of course, this wasn’t a real wedding, but the models, Jess and Nico, are a real couple. In fact, they became Graphic-Poetry clients after this shoot and also used Blue Violet Wedding Design (who is responsible for the gorgeous floral design, rentals, and styling in this photoshoot) for their own wedding as well.

There are so many things we love about this styled shoot. What’s not to love about a theme that feels so ancient and purposeful (I mean, stars are incredibly old!) but also so charming, intimate, and modern?

For this shoot, Graphic-Poetry created the invitation set and the menu card, bringing the specs of shimmering gold and silver to dark, moody backgrounds to really mimic the feel of a magical night sky. Fun fact: The menu design you see here was the first round menu we’ve ever created, and it has been a huge hit ever since.

I think, even more than the mystical vibe this photoshoot brings, I love the subtlety of it all. Accessories like the bride’s jacket and hair piece complement the table accents—like the menu details and the crystals in the flowers on the cake—to create an elegant atmosphere. The theme is there, but it isn’t overwhelming.

Many couples may feel that having a themed wedding feels weird. “More like a prom,” I’ve heard said. But unlike those tacky themed school dances we all remember (didn’t everyone have an “under the sea” theme at some point?), a themed wedding can showcase the personalities of the bride and groom in a mature way. Working with professional wedding vendors can help make sure that your theme unveils itself in the most elegant, subtle, and gorgeous ways.
