Planning A Galaxy Wedding Theme: Tips For The Perfect Day

For the lovers of the stars, the sky, the Northern Lights — a galaxy wedding theme is an absolute must! Here are a few tips to give your galaxy wedding “out of this world” beauty.

Tip #1: Book a galaxy-themed venue

One of the first decisions to make when planning a wedding is deciding where you would like to celebrate! One of the easiest ways to find a galaxy wedding-themed venue is by doing a quick search on Peerspace.

Peerspace is the largest online marketplace of event spaces and makes finding your dream wedding venue a breeze! Simply go to Peerspace’s dedicated wedding venue page, type in your location, and hit search. Immediately, you’ll be hit with a host of beautiful options in your area, which you can then narrow down by price, guest number, amenities, and more. You can also search by specific galaxy-themed keywords like “star”, “galaxy”, “sky”, and more! With a quick keyword search, you’ll be met with beautiful galaxy-themed spaces.

…Like this cove home in Yucca Valley, California, that offers stunning galaxy views under a massive covered patio with a retractable canopy! You can even end your magical night watching the stars in the “infinity” cowboy tub nestled between the Joshua trees when you book this venue. It’s a perfect spot for a galaxy-themed microwedding!

Tip #2: Send out fun galaxy-themed Save the Dates

After finding your venue, it’s time to jump on getting the “Save the Dates” out — and Peerspace can help with this too! Peerspace offers a variety of gorgeous photography studio spaces as well as event venues.

For example, how about taking some galaxy-themed engagement photos for your save-the-dates in a gorgeous studio like this in Atlanta, Georgia? This fun studio has galaxy wallpaper lining every side of the set — including on the floor!

Tip #3: Hire a photographer who can capture the stars beautifully

While you normally want to look for photographers who specialize in wedding photography for your special day, you may also want to invest in a landscape photographer if you are planning a galaxy wedding theme.

Once the sun sets, a landscape photographer can take beautiful long-exposure shots of your wedding festivities and venue with the stars sparkling in the background. They likely also have the skills needed to get the perfect shot of you and your spouse kissing under the stars!

On Peerspace, you can read through articles that detail the best landscape photographers in your area — like this article with 9 of the best landscape photographers in Denver!

Tip #4: Pick a galaxy-themed color palette

When you start to plan your galaxy wedding-themed color palette, consider decorating with dark blues, sparkling whites, or even the bright greens of the northern lights!

To bring in a galaxy feel before the sun sets at your reception, you can also use gorgeous dark blue lighting, like this beautiful artist loft in Virginia does. This venue is also only a block from the beach, so when the sun does fully set, you and your wedding guests can enjoy galaxy views along the serene beachfront!

Tip #5: Include creative galaxy details

When it comes to a galaxy wedding theme — make every last detail count! Especially when it comes to ceiling decorations. For example, the fun lighting and clouds in this Peerspace studio are a total vibe!

The custom LED lights turn the ceiling into all sorts of fun colors, and the space also includes lasers and a fog machine. We’d love to see a look like this for any indoor time at a galaxy-themed wedding!

Tip #6: Surprise your partner with galaxy-themed boudoir photos

Give your partner the ultimate surprise on your wedding day — photos from a galaxy-themed boudoir shoot! We love the idea of using this California Peerspace’s “Iridescent Room” for your shoot. The iridescent and rainbow theme add a playful and naughty twist to amazing galaxy vibes.

This Peerspace also comes with fun add-ons to really make your theme shine, like LED ring lights, GVM LED lights, and more!

When you book this space for your own wedding, you can also add on photographer services as well as professional audio engineering — saving you time in the search for wedding extras!

Tip #8: Give your guests time to enjoy the stars

A galaxy wedding should come with plenty of time for you and your guests to admire the stars! So why not rent out a venue that lets the stars take the decorative limelight?

This Pioneertown home offers over an acre of land with 360-degree views of the mountains, the stars, and the sky! The exterior also features fun mood lighting, and you and your guests can stay up all night enjoying the stars by the fire pit, Joshua Trees, and hot tub!
