More and more people are choosing non-traditional weddings, trying to turn their special day into a unique experience for themselves and their wedding guests. There is a unique wedding concept – a wedding in a mystical mood – that suit brave couples who want to stand out.

Concept

There is something mysterious and magical about this wedding theme. Mystical weddings are fabulous and unusual. Guests feel like they have arrived for a secret ceremony or ritual, where the couple's union is written in the stars.

Colour choice

Weddings in a mystical mood most often take place in the evening, so the chosen colours are smoky, grey, bluish, rosy, and darker than usual. Such tones appear in the decorations, the flowers, and the wedding cake. This contrasts beautifully with the bride's white dress, which can be in a smoky shade.

Wedding dress as from another realm

Choose a wedding dress or veil with star embroidery or details to create the mood. Stars and other celestial bodies can also appear in hair accessories, shoe buckles, or other accessories. Smoky pastel shades in a wedding dress or bridesmaid dress also look beautiful.

An artistic touch

Share your idea with the photographer and prepare the photoshoot location according to the wedding theme. An artistic background, such as a painting with a space scene, a starry night, or a magical forest motif, will look great. Even better if you manage to take night photos where the Milky Way shines above your head.

Lights

As with any wedding in the evening, light objects are an especially important element. Candles, lanterns, as well as luminaries in the form of stars and the moon create a slightly mystical mood. Lamps of all sizes and shapes are often attached to the ceiling, while large candles are placed on the floor.

Decors

The atmosphere at this type of wedding is very important. Glittering crystals, large candlesticks, paints, expressive flowers, antique napkin holders, and other decorations are often used. Castles or manors suit mystical theme celebrations, sometimes gardens or forests which enhance the fabulous and magical atmosphere.

Aroma matters

Scents will create an even more magical atmosphere. Choose a subtle fragrance that associates with this particular event. For this purpose, you can use scented candles, incense, or dried sage. The perfume will be more suitable for celebrations outdoors or in semi-enclosed spaces.

Involve guests

Wedding celebrations usually include entertainment and games. Ask guests to write spells in the wedding book to keep the marriage happy, play games and find out what the stars foresee for each guest tonight.

Magical dance

The first dance of the just-married couple should also be complemented by mysticism and magic. Use the music from the soundtracks of your favourite fairy tale movies. It is worth thinking about changing your outfit, wearing a dark evening dress embroidered with shining crystals that will sparkle as you move.
