Is your love written in the stars? Then you need a celestial-inspired wedding dress that's out of this world. These star-studded gowns have twinkling embellishments and galaxy-themed motifs, and they are perfect for brides looking to wear something nontraditional on their wedding day.
From shimmering fabrics to sparkly embroidery, celestial gowns come in a myriad of brightly shining styles that will leave you (and your guests!) positively starstruck. If you're a bride-to-be with bold tastes, gowns encrusted with moon motifs or colorful constellations will look dazzling as you walk down the aisle.

What to Look for in a Starry Wedding Dress
Starry wedding dresses are perfect for the whimsical, quirky bride looking for something truly unique. When shopping for a starry wedding dress consider if you want a bold style or something more subtle. If you are opting for a sparkly, bold look, consider delicate jewelry and gold accents. If you go for a soft, celestial look, consider pairing with a statement heel or starry hairpiece to pull the look together.
