WATER SIGNS
CANCER – SCORPIO – PISCES
You, sweet water signs, are seeking a down-to-earth shebang that prioritizes effortless flow and movement from scene to scene. When it comes to your colors, you’re drawn to contrast (what better way to embody flow?)—gradients of pastels or moodier palettes that are ombré and create dimension. Same goes for your décor; we’re talking mismatched dinnerware and eclectic centerpieces, like veggies mixed with fresh flowers or sentimental knick-knacks acting as a table runner. For your wedding day attire, you’re (surprisingly) going for daring, contrasting the familiar atmosphere with a stunning ensemble. You’ll love the low-back trend or the high-slit look and opt for more simple styles accented with unexpected accessories like beads woven into your hairstyle creating a “wave” effect or a gorgeous cape. Focus on the comforting things and let the noise fall away—you’ll be left with a beautifully paced celebration.

EARTH SIGNS
TAURUS – VIRGO – CAPRICORN
For earth darlings, you’ll want to center your wedding day around comfort and structure. Sensual and traditional, earth signs will need a setting that appeals to the senses. A historic venue or an outdoor courtyard may suit your sensibilities. For wedding attire, you’ll feel your best donning structured boning, natural fabric and a tried-and-true silhouette. When choosing a palette for your big day, you wouldn’t dare risk two bridesmaid gowns clashing! Subdue your perfectionism by choosing a monochromatic color scheme (don’t lie—you know your color of choice). Embodying your earthy essence, an abundance of blooms will be your décor focal point. Lush, meticulously crafted installations in your designated hue framing your “I do’s” will ground you while your head is in the clouds.

AIR SIGNS
AQUARIUS – GEMINI – LIBRA
You’re nothing if not a consummate planner, air sign babe. You’re all about organized uniqueness: a curated aesthetic that revolves around one or two big statement pieces. Your big day is going to be all about you, niches and all. You’ll create a memorable color palette, perhaps showcasing your love of duality with tones on the opposite side of the color wheel, like sweet lavenders with yellows or bold burnt orange with a deep cobalt blue. Special interests will make their appearances one way or another, whether it’s through your venue (a local haunt, your first-date spot or a location with deep meaning), hand-written notes at each guest’s place setting or even a super-themed seating chart (word search, anyone?)—you’re determined to wow your guests with personalization, and that’s exactly what you’ll do.

FIRE SIGNS
ARIES – LEO – SAGGITARIUS
It’s no surprise that for fire signs we recommend incorporating as much drama into your wedding day as possible. You may have already impulsively eloped, but for the celebration you’ll want a performance-oriented venue—a skyscraper with incredible views or a repurposed theater—to entice your guests. The color palette for your nuptials must be bold, featuring romantic florals and flashy metallics. For attire, you’ll be drawn to something authentically unique and daring—perhaps the drama of a corset or a showstopping mini dress. Most important is the entertainment for the evening. Employing live music will foster an engaging environment, the bigger the band, the better! Full of frivolities, from a custom tattoo artist to drag performers, your wedding day is meant to be an electrifying experience for your guests to revel in for years to come.
