Does your idea of the perfect wedding aesthetic involve the glamour of starry skies, the moon’s soft glow, or the unparalleled romance of the crisp, evening breeze? Need we say more about how gorgeously dramatic nature is at this time of night? Surrounded by sparkling candlelight, moody color palettes, and a canopy of the night sky—who wouldn’t want to say “I do” after the sun goes down? Starry night weddings have been one of the most quaint, exquisite, and utterly swoon-worthy wedding themes we have ever laid our eyes on. Turn out the lights and turn up the magic to take note of these stunning ideas from TikTok that we found are exclusive to nighttime affairs.
Be Strategic With String Lights For a Magnificent Backdrop
String lights are a classic and simple way to add a warm ambiance to your outdoor wedding. Not to mention that they’re oh-so versatile. Drape them over trees, wrap them around columns or beams, or hang them from the ceiling of a tent. The warm glow of string lights will add a cozy and intimate feeling to your wedding. Opt for fairy lights for a little offbeat lighting. Once it starts to get dark, fairy lights will offer an ethereal glow that your guests will not easily forget.
Say Yes to Chandeliers For an Elegant Atmosphere
Who says chandeliers should stay inside? Trust us, chic chandeliers are what you need to set your entire outdoor reception ablaze. Chandeliers are a charming way to add light to your nighttime wedding and they never go out of style. Chandeliers sparkling overhead the guest tables create, you guessed it, a perfect starry night theme that we are all about. Talk about taking things from “hey, nice wedding” to “whoa, now that was a wedding.”
Emphasize Candlelight For a Warm and Cozy Ambiance
If there’s one decor item that screams love and romance, it’s candles. They are versatile décor elements that work with various other ornamental accessories to form breathtaking arrangements. Get creative and place them in lanterns or even float them in water. Have candles of differing heights in various types of containers such as pillar candles, tea lights, or votive candles to adorn creative tablescapes. Whether you mix them with flowers or another fancy décor, the plethora of candle options is sure to dramatize an already impressive venue.
Set the Mood For a Perfect Toast With Champagne Popping
Don’t forget the champagne bottle for a mesmerizing and unforgettable toast! Did we mention how amazing the pictures turn out? That’s right, adding some champagne illumination to your wedding is a great way to brighten up the evening with some dramatic and impressive photos. A win-win if you ask us. We fall short of words when we try to describe the enchantment of champagne popping to wrap up an intimate affair.
Add the Glow of Floating Lanterns for a Dream-Scape
How many weddings have you been to that incorporate floating lanterns? Exactly. If you truly want to light up the skies at your wedding ceremony, you simply must add floating lanterns to the list. As you and your guests light the lanterns, make a wish for the bride and groom, and cast them into the air to elevate (heh) your wedding night. The dreamy view is unmatchable and the symbolism is quite special, bringing a unique magic to your entire wedding. Count us in!
Don’t Underestimate the Deadly Combination of Sparklers and Fireworks
Just Imagine how dramatic your exit will be when the aisle is softly illuminated with the beautiful glow of the sparklers with fireworks shooting in the background. Not convinced yet? Well, picture this. You and your better half are the centers of attention as you walk down the earthy aisle and enter into bright light as the sparklers from your loved ones ignite the dark sky. You share a romantic kiss as a newly married couple as the fireworks go off (omg though, imagine the pictures if the timing works out!). The glow of the sparkling lights adds a feeling of wonder to both the moment and your final wedding night photos. Admit it, there’s nothing like capturing a couple’s grand send-off at night!
With the stars shining, stunning mood lighting, and an intimate vibe that instantly goes up a notch as soon as the sun goes down, nighttime weddings have all the elements for an unforgettable wedding atmosphere that transform your ceremony into a venue for ethereal experiences, especially with these TikTok-inspired ideas. The serenity and peace of the night combined with the warmth of the lighting create an unbelievably magical setting for an alfresco wedding ceremony held beneath the stars all night long.
