Since I chose magenta and gold as my wedding colors I am having a hard time incorporating these to Starry Theme. So I opt for star gazer lilies… any idea how can I make this more lively?
Have you asked if your florist can use Starfighter lillies instead? They are a much darker magenta color. They are gorgeous (They were one of our wedding flowers).
Utilize gold star confetti on the tables spread around perhaps a candle in a hurricane lamp (They sell mosaic glass hurricane lamps or perhaps lanterns that have stars punched into the metal?), so that will add a lot of sparkle to your tables…
and what about using the thin gold wire star ‘garland’ they sell for decorating presents, and using a bit of that to wrap around each napkin at the tables?
You could also incorporate a shooting star as a logo for your wedding-very simple, but if it is quietly placed on your save the dates, programs, invitations, and place cards, it will start to stand out as a symbol for your whole day.
if you did decide to go with a favor, you could use little star-shaped hard candies or little star cookies wrapped in tulle and secured with the star garland too…

you can get those little glass/crystal bowls and fill them with water then place a stargazer lily in it and then surround the bowl and a few candles… preferably tealight candles or if the glass/crystal bowl is wide enough u can do the same thing but instead get floating tea light candles and also put it in the bowl.
you can also have the petals from the flower all over the tables as well
i hope this has helped its 430 am and i am in no way shape or form able to think lol
