Your ultimate zodiac wedding playbook

Lana Del Ray has one. So does Gwyneth Paltrow. In fact, so did Julius Caesar. We’re talking about personal astrologers: the cosmic confidants who have guided everyone from music icons to ancient rulers. Whether you’re a believer or not, astrology has long been linked to human behaviour, personality – and yes, even major life events. And why not? After all, the moon can influence the tides, so who’s to say the stars don’t play a role in our love lives?

From family planning to building an empire, the alignment of the planets have often been consulted. But when it comes to your big day, have you ever wondered what the universe would plan for you? Whether you’re a fiery Aries, a detail-obsessed Virgo, or an indecisive Libra, your zodiac sign might just hold the key to your wedding vibe. From your signature wedding detail to the best month to tie the knot (hint: not on your birthday — that’s bad luck!) and even your dream honeymoon destination, here’s the ultimate wedding playbook to planning your big day based on your planet’s alignment.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Ruled by: Mars, the planet of action

Personality traits:

• Fiery
• Energetic
• Impulsive
• Bold
• Loves to take charge

Aries’ wedding vibe

Bold, fun, and adventurous, Aries thrives on excitement, making a spontaneous elopement or a high-energy celebration the perfect fit. Think destination wedding or an action-packed mountaintop ceremony that keeps the adrenaline flowing.

Signature wedding detail

A grand entrance (or exit). Aries thrives on excitement and being the centre of attention. Whether it’s arriving on a helicopter, a dramatic confetti cannon exit, or a surprise dance, they need something bold and unexpected to mark the moment.

Best time for Aries to get married

September or early October. 

Why? Aries is ruled by Mars, making those born under this sign bold, spontaneous, and high-energy. Early autumn offers cooler weather, but still has Aries’ desired vibrancy and excitement. Plus, Venus (the planet of love) often transits Libra during this time, encouraging romance and harmony—balancing Aries’ fiery energy.

Where to honeymoon

Chile & Argentina. A natural thrill-seeker, Aries thrives on excitement. Trekking through Patagonia’s dramatic landscapes, glaciers, and mountains will satisfy their adrenaline cravings. Bonus points for adding a stop in Buenos Aires for tango and nightlife.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Ruled by: Venus, the planet of love

Personality traits:

• Grounded
• Indulgent
• Stubborn
• Loyal
• Appreciates beauty

Taurus’ wedding vibe

Elegant and sensory-driven, with gourmet dining and lush florals taking centre stage is the Bull’s vibe. Ultimate comfort is a must, making the vibes perfectly suited to a vineyard celebration or a romantic countryside estate.

Signature wedding detail

A decadent grazing table. Make it overflow with artisanal cheeses, cured meats, fresh fruit, and handmade chocolates. Elevate the experience with a signature cocktail to match the indulgence. 

Best time for Taurus to get married

May or late October.

Why? Taurus thrives in nature and loves beauty. Late spring is ideal because the flowers are blooming, the weather is stable, and it offers the slow, luxurious atmosphere Taurus loves. Alternatively, late October (mid-autumn) is also a great choice: Taurus will appreciate the cosy, rich colours of the season, and Venus in Scorpio around this time heightens deep emotional connection.

Where to honeymoon

Chianti or Montalcino, Tuscany. Luxury-loving Taurus will swoon over long vineyard lunches, rolling countryside, and historic villas. A honeymoon in Tuscany means world-class wine, slow mornings, and pure indulgence (just the way Taurus likes it!)

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Ruled by: Mercury, the planet of communication and versatility

Personality traits:

• Curious
• Talkative
• Playful
• Quick-witted
• Easily bored

Gemini’s wedding vibe

A Gemini’s ideal wedding is dynamic and unconventional, with plenty of entertainment and social interaction. Think cocktail-style reception, food trucks, and a fun city venue.

Signature wedding detail

A photo booth. Geminis are dual-natured and love fun, interactive elements. A two-themed photo booth (e.g. classy black-and-white portraits on one side, wild props on the other) lets them—and their guests—embrace both their personalities.

Best time for Gemini to get married

November or early March.

Why? Gemini is social, playful, and needs variety. While spring weddings are the most popular, a late-autumn celebration offers a moody yet vibrant vibe. It’s a great time for destination weddings, too. Early March also offers a fun and lively transition into autumn, perfect for Geminis who love change.

Where to honeymoon

New York City, USA. Sociable and ever-curious, Gemini needs a mix of fast-paced and relaxed. NYC’s endless energy, Broadway shows, and rooftop bars make for the perfect  honeymoon.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Ruled by: The moon, the planet of emotions

Personality traits:

• Emotional
• Family-oriented
• Intuitive
• Protective
• Sentimental

Cancer’s wedding vibe

A cosy, family-focused gathering or a romantic beachside affair, home-loving Cancer prefers a warm, intimate wedding. A charming heritage venue, backyard wedding or waterfront ceremony is where it’s at.

Signature wedding detail

A Polaroid guestbook. Cancer will treasure a Polaroid guestbook, where guests snap pictures and leave handwritten notes to be cherished forever.

Best time for Cancer to get married

Late April or September.

Why? Late April brings soft lighting, mild weather, and a sense of new beginnings without the peak-season chaos. September offers that romantic crispness in the air, perfect for their nostalgic souls.

Where to honeymoon

Santorini, Greece. Cancer wants romance and history wrapped into one. Whitewashed villas, glowing sunsets, and quiet dinners by the Aegean Sea? It’s a honeymoon straight from a Greek myth.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Ruled by: The sun, the centre of energy

Personality traits:

• Charismatic
• Confident
• Loves attention
• Warm-hearted
• Dramatic

Leo’s wedding vibe

A glamorous, dramatic event with all eyes on the couple. Picture a grand ballroom, a lavish destination wedding, or a rooftop celebration with fireworks and a dance floor that never empties.

Signature wedding detail

A show-stopping wedding outfit. Leo needs a statement dress, custom suit, or designer wedding shoes that make them feel like royalty on their big day.

Best time for Leo to get married

June or December.

Why? A winter wedding (June) might seem counterintuitive, but it stands out in a sea of summer ceremonies. Early summer also suits Leo’s social nature, as it’s prime party season. With the sun shining and people in celebration mode, their wedding will feel like the event of the year.

Where to honeymoon

Dubai and The Maldives. Leo craves glamour, and nothing screams luxury like a honeymoon split between the dazzling excess of Dubai and the private, overwater villas of the Maldives. Think infinity pools, yacht days, and a honeymoon that’s pure main-character energy.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Ruled by: Mercury, the planet of logic

Personality traits:

• Detail-oriented
• Practical
• Perfectionist
• Helpful
• Organised

Virgo’s wedding vibe

Ever the perfectionist, a Virgo’s ideal wedding is elegant, timeless, and flawlessly executed. With a well-planned itinerary and impeccable styling, Virgos wouldn’t expect anything less. A beautifully curated garden or vineyard wedding is the perfect backdrop for a wedding that feels effortlessly refined.

Signature wedding detail

Handwritten calligraphy place cards. Virgo’s attention to detail shines through elegant wedding stationery, ensuring every guest feels personally welcomed.

Best time for Virgo to get married

Late February or August.

Why? Virgos love planning and perfection, so they’ll want a date that avoids peak seasons and logistical headaches. Late February is outside the crazy wedding months but still offers beautiful weather before autumn sets in. August is another solid choice: it gives Virgo plenty of time to refine every detail while ensuring perfect conditions.

Where to honeymoon

Kyoto, Japan. Virgo appreciates understated elegance and meaningful experiences. Kyoto’s tranquil gardens, historic temples, and seasonal beauty (hello, cherry blossoms!) create the kind of perfectly curated honeymoon they’ll love.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Ruled by: Venus, the planet of romance

Personality traits:

• Charming
• Romantic
• Aesthetic-driven
• People-pleaser
• Diplomatic

Libra’s wedding vibe

Classic and refined, with a balance of elegance and charm. Think harmonious aesthetics, fairy lights, and a dreamy atmosphere: a castle or luxury hotel wedding  that feels straight out of a fairytale, where every detail exudes romance and sophistication.

Signature wedding detail

A dramatic floral centrepiece. Libra adores beauty, and a lush, sculptural floral centrepiece or floral archway will set the perfect romantic atmosphere.

Best time for Libra to get married

April or early November.

Why? April offers pastel colours, golden-hour lighting, and a soft, dreamy setting. Early November is another great time: the weather is still warm enough for an elegant garden or outdoor wedding.

Where to honeymoon

Paris, France. Romantic, stylish, and a sucker for beauty, Libra belongs in Paris. Add a few days in the French Riviera for beachside glamour, and you have the ultimate honeymoon filled with romance, culture, and effortless charm.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Ruled by: Pluto, the planet of intensity

Personality traits:

• Mysterious
• Complex
• Unforgiving
• Passionate
• Deep thinker

Scorpio’s wedding vibe

Scorpio’s wedding is all about intensity, passion, and a touch of mystery – perfect for a castle venue. An intimate, moody atmosphere sets the stage, with candlelit tables, rich velvet textures, and a darkly romantic aesthetic.

Signature wedding detail

Flickering tapered candles. To create an intimate and mysterious vibe, Scorpio needs a reception table adorned with moody, flickering candles.

Best time for Scorpio to get married

May or late October.

Why? May weddings tap into Scorpio’s sentimental side, with cool evenings and beautiful autumn leaves. Late October, on the other hand, suits their love of moody aesthetics. With the veil between worlds at its thinnest this time of year (it’s little wonder why Halloween falls in this season), the energy mirrors Scorpio’s essence: magnetic, mystical and intoxicating.

Where to honeymoon

Marrakech, Morocco. Mysterious and passionate, Scorpio needs a honeymoon that feels cinematic. Marrakech’s winding souks, lantern-lit riyads, and a private desert glamping experience under the stars? Perfectly seductive and unforgettable.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Ruled by: Jupiter, the planet of adventure

Personality traits:

• Adventurous
• Optimistic
• Independent
• Philosophical
• Restless
  

Sagittarius’ wedding vibe

Relaxed yet full of adventure, a Sagittarius wedding is all about freedom, excitement, and unforgettable experiences. Think beachside vows in Bali, a cliffside ceremony, or a wedding that doubles as a weekend escape. Bonus points for outdoor elements like a fire pit or open-air dining.

Signature wedding detail

A travel-themed cocktail bar. Sagittarius will love a custom cocktail bar featuring drinks inspired by their favourite destinations, like Italian spritzes or Caribbean rum punch.

Best time for Sagittarius to get married

March or August. 

Why? In March, it’s still warm enough for beach ceremonies, but without the summer crowds. August is also ideal: the weather is stabilising in the southern hemisphere, and it’s a good time for those considering elopements or mountain/lake escapes.

Where to honeymoon

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Sagittarius lives for adventure and spontaneity. A South American honeymoon filled with hiking Machu Picchu, exploring Bolivia’s salt flats, and dancing in Rio de Janeiro is exactly the kind of thrill they seek.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Ruled by: Saturn, the planet of ambition

Personality traits:

• Ambitious
• Disciplined
• Patient
• Responsible
• Reserved
  

Capricorn’s wedding vibe

Capricorn values tradition, structure, and timeless elegance. Think a sophisticated black-tie affair, a winter wedding in a historic venue, or a chic city wedding with understated luxury. And naturally, every detail is meticulously curated, culminating in a polished event that stands the test of time.

Signature wedding detail

A tiered wedding cake. Capricorn’s classic style calls for a tall, elegant tiered wedding cake that ticks all the right boxes: minimalist, sophisticated, and expertly crafted (just like them)!

Best time for Capricorn to get married

June or September. 

Why? A June wedding allows for a sophisticated winter celebration: think black-tie, candlelit dinners, and indoor luxury. September is also great, as it’s right before the wedding season explodes (so Capricorn gets the best venues without the competition – just as they like it.)

Where to honeymoon

Swiss Alps, Switzerland. Forever the connoisseur, Capricorn loves a bit of exclusivity. A honeymoon in the Swiss Alps – complete with luxury lodges, scenic train rides, and après-ski indulgence – is the perfect blend of refinement and relaxation.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Ruled by: Uranus, the planet of innovation

Personality traits:

• Innovative
• Free-spirited
• Intellectual
• Unconventional
• Humanitarian

Aquarius’ wedding vibe

A bold, unconventional celebration with a modern or futuristic edge. Think quirky personal touches, an unexpected dress code, and entertainment that breaks the mould. A rooftop or warehouse venue with neon accents, an anti-traditional spin, or a tech-driven experience sets the perfect stage for a wedding that’s anything but ordinary.

Signature wedding detail

A vinyl record guest book. For a non-traditional twist, Aquarius should have a vinyl record guest book, where guests sign a favourite album cover instead of a regular book.

Best time for Aquarius to get married

May or October.

Why? Aquarius is unconventional and doesn’t want a cookie-cutter wedding. In May, the weather is comfortable – and it’s not peak season – so they can experiment with venues. October is another solid choice: it’s quirky enough to stand out while delivering mild weather.

Where to honeymoon

Iceland & The Northern Lights. Unconventional and drawn to nature’s wonders, Aquarius will love Iceland’s dramatic landscapes, geothermal lagoons, and a bucket-list-worthy sighting of the Northern Lights.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Ruled by: Neptune, the planet of dreams and intuition

Personality traits:

• Dreamy
• Creative
• Empathetic
• Spiritual
• Soft-hearted

Pisces’ wedding vibe

Pisces thrives on romance, fantasy, and emotion, desiring a wedding like something out of a dream. A lakeside or garden setting with soft lighting, flowing fabrics, and pastel hues sets the stage for an ethereal, storybook celebration, filled with water-inspired details and dreamy florals. 

Signature wedding detail

A floating candle display. Pisces will love a dreamy floating candle display in a water feature, creating an ethereal, romantic ambiance.

Best time to get married

Late March or July. 

Why?  Dreamy, romantic Pisces needs a wedding that feels like a fairytale and late March is ideal for an ethereal, soft-lit wedding, as the air is still warm but the summer rush is over. July offers a cosy winter wedding: perfect for Pisces, who loves the idea of candlelight, soft music, and intimate, heartfelt moments.

Where to honeymoon

Bora Bora, French Polynesia. Pisces is all about romance and being near the water. Bora Bora’s dreamy overwater bungalows, crystal-clear lagoons, and pure tranquillity make for the ultimate Pisces honeymoon fantasy.

But what if you’re born on the cusp of two signs?

If your birthday falls near the transition between two zodiac signs, you might feel a mix of influences. Short of getting a natal chart analysis, here’s how to approach your wedding vibe if you’re born on the cusp:

• Embrace both energies: If you’re a Taurus-Gemini cusp, for example, you might love a wedding that’s both elegant (Taurus) and lively (Gemini).
• Choose the sign that resonates most: If one of the signs feels way more like you, go with that one for wedding inspiration.
• Use the cusp as a unique twist: A Leo-Virgo cusp could have a wedding that’s both grand and impeccably organised, blending Leo’s love of spectacle with Virgo’s attention to detail.

The stars have spoken: now it’s your turn

Disclaimer: While astrology can be a fun and fascinating way to explore your personality and wedding style, it’s not an exact science. Your wedding should reflect you, whether that means following the stars or your heart. Take what resonates, leave what doesn’t, and most importantly, plan a day that feels right for you and your partner.
