Following a 7,200% increase in interest for the search term "zodiac wedding" in the past 12 months¹, event specialists, AYRE Event solutions, delve into how your star sign traits could be used to choose your perfect wedding theme.
Speaking with wedding experts at AYRE Event Solutions, mystic and astrologer Inbaal Honigman says: "People will generally pick a partner whose temperament they match with, and star signs have a significant role to play in that compatibility. Similarly, when it's time to book a wedding, star signs certainly play a part.
"With this in mind, wedding experts at AYRE Event Solutions analyse astrological birth charts to reveal 12 wedding themes inspired by the 12 zodiac signs:

Aquarius - January 20 to February 18 
Ideal wedding flowers: Orchid
Incorporate birthstone into wedding styling: Amethyst  


From aliens and space to advanced technology and sci-fi films, this sign loves everything to do with astronomy. Considering this, an Aquarius would suit an 'In the Stars' themed wedding. Think galaxy-inspired styling, alien accessories and unique special effects and laser lighting. A wedding like this would suit an industrial venue where couples can have creative control of the space.

Mystic and astrologer Inbaal Honigman gives an example of how an Aquarian celebrity used astrology throughout their big day: "The recent wedding of Aquarian Paris Hilton to her Aquarian new husband was a quirky affair, with multiple custom changes and a start time of 11:11 am on 11/11. Why? Because Aquarians do things precisely as they wish and don't adhere to anyone else's expectations."

With a love for anything 'witchy', such as tarot card reading, manifestation and crystals, the Pisces star sign would suit a 'Coven' themed wedding. A haunted-looking historical building in the countryside would make the perfect wedding venue for a Pisces. To contribute to the ethereal feel, adding a dry-ice generator to the venue entrance will guarantee to wow guests.

Think plenty of sand and water features, whether this means having a real beach wedding or incorporating sand and sun into your venue through texture and colour, such as using blue coloured streamers or confetti. In terms of the venue, what better than an actual beach! Or a venue near water, such as a restaurant in Cornwall.

Following this, a minimalist wedding would suit a modern venue with a 'bare bones' aesthetic. Considering the wedding theme is minimalistic, adding background music throughout the day will help the venue come to life.

Incorporating spark effects into your first dance makes for a safe and breathtaking effect, and will add to the fairytale theme. 

Astrology expert, Inbaal, comments on a Libran celebrity wedding: "Last summer, Libran Gwen Stefani married Gemini Blake Shelton in a Country Chic wedding. Carson Daly, who officiated, described the marriage on American Today show: "It was as elegant and refined and cool as Gwen is, and it was as country and down-home and fun as Blake is" Libras are elegant, Geminis are fun. What else could it have been?"

This star sign likes to take control and be a leader in most situations, often loving to receive a 'pat in the back'. Considering this, a 'Sports Day' themed wedding could work well for a Capricorn. A local sports club, like a cricket club with an idyllic setting or a hotel with an onsite golf course, could make for the perfect wedding venue. With sports competitions running throughout the day, a Capricorn could consider adding staging for a host to announce games and scores or even house a big screen to stream any live sport as part of their entertainment.

Managing director of AYRE Event Solutions, Chris Ayre, commented on the insight: "With astrology and star signs gaining more traction during the pandemic, it's interesting to see how this has filtered through into weddings. 

"Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life, and letting your star sign lead the way in terms of the theme, location, venue and dress code could ensure your wedding is completely unique to you. There are so many popular wedding themes out there, and trends come and go every year, but taking into account your zodiac could help narrow down what type of wedding you go for and ensure you have the perfect day."
