Some couples choose their wedding date based on the weather. Others pick a location based on capacity. But have you ever thought about planning your wedding in alignment with your zodiac sign?
Whether you’re a grounded Taurus or a fiery Leo, your astrological sign can reveal more than personality traits—it can offer creative insight into your ideal wedding aesthetic. From colour palettes and florals to venues and vibes, the stars might just have a few opinions about your big day.
That’s the idea behind Starry Eyed Brides—a zodiac-inspired wedding style series created by Ray Photography + Design. Each sign is brought to life through poetic mood boards, dreamy photography advice, and imaginative style interpretations rooted in astrological archetypes.
Below, we’ve outlined what your zodiac sign says about your ideal wedding—plus a few “do’s and don’ts” to help guide your planning. Follow your sun sign, moon sign, or whatever resonates. Let the stars be inspiration, not instruction.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Timeless, grounded, and elegantly composed
Capricorn brides don’t follow trends—they create legacies. Ruled by Saturn, this sign gravitates toward structure, meaning, and quiet luxury. Think stately venues, sculptural florals, and a wedding that feels like it was designed to last forever (because it was).
Do:
- Embrace tradition—but elevate it. Antique gold, structured satin gowns, and calligraphed vow books belong here.
- Focus on timeless details: a cathedral-length veil, lush greenery, and candlelit symmetry will never go out of style.
- Choose an architecture-forward venue or a reception space with rich, grounding textures.
Don’t:
- Overdecorate. Less is more when each detail is intentional.
- Let Pinterest trends override your instincts for refinement and structure.
- Skip the lighting plan—Capricorns need that golden hour glow.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Unconventional, imaginative, and just a little cosmic
Aquarius brides don’t just plan a wedding—they stage an artistic event. Ruled by Uranus, they’re all about originality, surprise elements, and a free-spirited vibe. This is where holographic glassware meets moonlit ceremonies and starburst earrings.
Do:
- Incorporate celestial symbols and surreal design elements—think moons, stars, and dreamy lighting.
- Wear something bold and unique: a cape, asymmetrical sleeves, or a dress with cosmic shimmer.
- Add an unexpected twist—a surprise performance or poetic reading is on-brand.
Don’t:
- Play it safe. Aquarius thrives on reinvention and surprise.
- Over-coordinate. Let the aesthetic evolve organically.
- Ignore the importance of personal meaning—this bride needs her why.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Romantic, emotional, and ethereally soft
Pisces brides wear their hearts—and their vows—on their sleeves. Ruled by Neptune, they dream in pastels, poetry, and candlelight. Their wedding is less of an event and more of an emotional experience, beautifully blurry at the edges.
Do:
- Embrace softness. Chiffon, lace, and delicate florals belong everywhere.
- Plan a ceremony that feels sacred—think barefoot vows, string quartets, and handwritten poetry.
- Choose a venue that reflects your connection to water or nature.
Don’t:
- Over-plan. Your intuition will guide you better than any checklist.
- Skimp on lighting. Soft, ambient light makes everything feel like a dream.
- Hide your emotions—your tears are part of the magic.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Bold, fiery, and unapologetically herself
Aries brides don’t blend in—they burst onto the scene. Ruled by Mars, they gravitate toward bold silhouettes, striking colours, and dramatic entrances. Their wedding is high-impact, high-energy, and totally unforgettable.
Do:
- Go bold with your dress—high slits, statement sleeves, or even a jumpsuit.
- Choose a sleek modern venue or a rooftop with a killer view.
- Add dramatic lighting and unexpected entertainment.
Don’t:
- Try to please everyone. Aries weddings shine brightest when they’re authentic.
- Be afraid to show passion—your fire is the main event.
- Play small with your florals—go sculptural, rich, and intense.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
Sensual, romantic, and luxuriously grounded
Taurus brides are ruled by Venus, goddess of beauty—and it shows. Their weddings are tactile, comforting, and full of earthly pleasures. From velvet textures to overflowing florals, everything is designed to be felt.
Do:
- Prioritize comfort and beauty. Soft fabrics, good food, and candlelight are musts.
- Choose a garden, vineyard, or heritage venue with natural textures.
- Opt for soft, indulgent florals and rich, romantic hues.
Don’t:
- Rush. Taurus brides shine when they move slowly and soak in the moment.
- Over-complicate the palette—earth tones and blush will never steer you wrong.
- Skip the sensory details—this day should feel as good as it looks.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 20)
Playful, curious, and full of surprises
Gemini brides bring the party and the poetry. Ruled by Mercury, they’re dynamic, social, and always up for a twist. Their weddings are eclectic, expressive, and rarely predictable—think mix-and-match decor, bold colours, and surprise games mid-reception.
Do:
- Add a few unexpected elements—quirky signage, games, or a spoken-word toast.
- Go non-traditional with your outfit: jumpsuits, two-pieces, or anything with movement.
- Embrace a bright, fun colour palette that reflects your energy.
Don’t:
- Over-coordinate. Chaos is part of the charm.
- Skip your speech—you’ve got things to say.
- Worry about doing it “right.” You’re here to do it your way.
Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)
Sentimental, nurturing, and emotionally rich
Cancer brides are ruled by the Moon, and their weddings reflect it—glowing, cozy, and full of heart. Home and family matter deeply, and every detail holds meaning. Expect heirlooms, tearful vows, and a guest list that feels like a hug.
Do:
- Incorporate personal touches—lockets, letters, or meaningful heirlooms.
- Choose an intimate venue that feels like home.
- Let emotion take the lead. This day is about connection, not perfection.
Don’t:
- Rush the timeline. Cancers thrive in softness and slowness.
- Skimp on the florals—lush and fragrant is the move.
- Downplay your feelings—they’re your superpower.
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Glamorous, magnetic, and born to shine
Leo brides don’t need a spotlight—they are the spotlight. Ruled by the Sun, their weddings are bold, elegant, and full of grandeur. Think dramatic gowns, golden lighting, and statement everything.
Do:
- Make an entrance—and then another one.
- Go for luxe textures: satin, velvet, and metallics.
- Choose a venue that feels regal and expansive.
Don’t:
- Tone it down. This is your moment to dazzle.
- Forget the extras—draping, chandeliers, and dramatic florals are your domain.
- Shy away from bold colours—gold, red, and jewel tones will serve you well.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sept 22)
Graceful, intentional, and quietly radiant
Virgo brides are the editors of the zodiac. Ruled by Mercury, they plan with precision and love with depth. Their weddings are elegant, serene, and beautifully refined—with no detail left unconsidered.
Do:
- Choose a minimal, classic dress with exquisite tailoring.
- Incorporate soft textures and natural elements—linen, greenery, glass.
- Create a serene flow through thoughtful pacing and layout.
Don’t:
- Obsess over perfection. Simplicity is its own kind of magic.
- Overwhelm your palette—Virgos glow in ivory, sage, and blush.
- Forget to pause and be present—your calm energy grounds the whole day.
Libra (Sept 23 – Oct 22)
Romantic, balanced, and impossibly stylish
Libra brides, ruled by Venus, are all about aesthetics and harmony. Their weddings are soft, romantic, and beautifully curated—equal parts celebration and art installation.
Do:
- Choose a classic venue with beautiful architecture and symmetry.
- Lean into soft palettes: blush, ivory, sage, and gold.
- Add artistic flourishes—fine china, floral arches, or a harpist in the garden.
Don’t:
- Crowd the visual space. Libra weddings shine in restraint.
- Skip symmetry. You’ll notice if something feels “off.”
- Settle for just any dress—your eye for design is unmatched.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Mysterious, passionate, and emotionally magnetic
Scorpio brides bring the heat—and the depth. Ruled by Pluto and Mars, they favour moody palettes, dramatic silhouettes, and rituals that feel sacred. Their weddings are emotionally charged, luxuriously dark, and unforgettable.
Do:
- Play with rich, dark tones—oxblood, plum, midnight, black.
- Choose a candlelit venue full of character and shadow.
- Incorporate symbolism and private moments of intimacy.
Don’t:
- Try to make it “light.” You shine in depth and mystery.
- Skip the personal touches—Scorpio weddings are emotional journeys.
- Follow trends over truth. Authenticity is your aesthetic.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Adventurous, radiant, and joyfully unbound
Sagittarius brides are ruled by Jupiter—the planet of expansion—and it shows. Their weddings are vibrant, free-spirited, and infused with meaning. Think open-air venues, global details, and spontaneous dance circles under the stars.
Do:
- Go big on colour—sunset tones, eclectic florals, and bold design moments.
- Choose a destination or outdoor venue that lets you breathe.
- Incorporate travel-inspired or heritage elements into the decor.
Don’t:
- Over-script the day. Sagittarius thrives on movement and freedom.
- Aim for formality over fun.
- Forget the firepit, acoustic guitar, or barefoot dancing.
