A Stargazer, Romantic Midnight Blue and Silver Wedding is incredibly whimsical and romantic. What can beat holding your wedding under the twinkling starry night with the soft glow of the moon? The starlight does not need to come directly from the night sky. It can be artificially created to beautifully replicate the feeling of dining under the stars. I created this simple centerpiece that will bring the magical starry night atmosphere to each of your reception tables!
Begin by creating a starry silver glow on the Grapevine Balls and Adhesive Wooden Gold Stars. Spray paint with a metallic silver followed by a silver glitter spray paint. This combination gives a beautiful glow and twinkle when lit up.
Wrap Silver Glitter Washi Tape around the battery pack of the mini string lights. This will ensure the batteries inside the pack do not distract from your beautiful starlight glow.
Insert the battery pack inside the grapevine ball. You can tape the battery pack in place but its weight will be sufficient for keeping it in place. Then wrap the string of lights around the outside of the grapevine ball. When wrapping move around the ball, spacing the lights out around the ball to give an even glow.
Attach the silver stars to the outside of the ball. There are adhesive patches on the stars, however, the grapevine balls surface is uneven so I added a dab of glue so they were attached firmly in place.
Turn on the lights and there you have it, magic!
Now you are ready to place two of the magical spheres of starlight onto each table. This is both an inexpensive and beautiful way to create a starlight glow onto your tables and a fabulous decorative element that can take the place of floral centerpieces!
