Let the stars help you think outside the box.

All of your wedding décor should undoubtedly mirror and evoke your personality. But your color palette is something you should put extra thought into—it'll be the overarching element that ties everything together, the first thing your guests notice and the one thing that stands out the most in your gorgeous photos. And with so many options out there (literally an entire color wheel) how's a couple to choose? That's why we're turning to the stars for some guidance. Find your your wedding hue-roscope below.
Aries: March 21–April 19
As a bold fire sign and the first one in the zodiac, you love going where no other sign has gone before. Some people might think a crazy, multicolored palette is treacherous territory, but for you, it's just another statement-making look. Your personality is primarily upbeat, and what feels more sanguine than tons of saturated colors?
Taurus: April 20–May 20
You're super dependable and down to earth, and you really don't want anything too extravagant, trendy or out-there at your nuptials. You'll probably want to go for something simple, classic and consistently beautiful—think light, pastel pink with neutral touches like white chairs and natural, green accents.
Gemini: May 21–June 20
You're notoriously unpredictable (in a good way) and a stark black-and-white wedding will feel completely fresh and fitting for your daring style. Gun for gold accents and other unexpected touches so it feels warm (not harsh), rousing and totally unique, just like you.
Cancer: June 21–July 22
You're a strong, but sensitive water sign, and a bold shade of light blue is perfect for you—it's soft but makes a statement, just like your personality. You're visual as well, so incorporating unexpected accents like patterns and contrasting colors will keep things interesting (because that's how you like it).

Leo: July 23–August 22
You always have regal taste and your wedding will obviously be no different. Go for something chic and vibrant that matches your personality and personal style. As a fire sign, you also love to stand out and stray from the norm. We're thinking metallic or gold will be the perfect (Midas) touch atop elegant, mirrored tables.
Virgo: August 23–September 22
You're the discerning, quintessential earth sign with crazy good taste and an even crazier attention to detail. You notice the little things, and a neutral, tasteful palette that matches your element is exactly what you're looking for. Stunning little touches like metallic cutlery and white flower petals will make you the happiest newlywed on earth (no pun intended).

Libra: September 23–October 22
Congratulations, you're the charming sign! But you already knew that. You're also balanced (you're known as "the scales" for a reason), intelligent, and you live to make people happy—especially your family and friends. A bright, burnt orange color palette filled to the brim with blooms and wood accents is your definition of blissful.
Scorpio: October 23–November 21
Passionate, mysterious and deep are three words that describe you. While a dark and moody palette may be too intense for some, it fits your strong personality and definitive style to a tee. Details like embroidered tablecloths and candelabras are just dramatic enough to make everything look as intentional as possible (which is exactly how you like it) without going over the top.
Sagittarius: November 22–December 21
You're adventurous and always the life of the party, and a fresh shade of emerald green is the opposite of boring—because that's one thing you would definitely never want to be. We know you always think big (and sometimes spend big) and whatever color palette you choose, you'll nail it. That's just how you are.
Capricorn: December 22–January 19
Everything you do is precise and intentional, and a pristine all-white palette just speaks to you and your classic, clean style. You execute everything you do flawlessly, and while keeping a white color palette on point throughout your night may seem challenging to other signs, that's exactly why you chose it.
Aquarius: January 20–February 18
You're the ultimate forward thinker, so yes, you absolutely stay on top of trends. Yellow is the color of the moment (if you ask us), and whether it's canary, pineapple or mustard, it's sure to stand out—just like your personality. You're also somewhat of a rebel, and nothing says "revolutionary wedding décor" like a bright lemon hue.
Pisces: February 19–March 20
A sensitive, sensual water sign, your wedding will likely be ethereal and dreamy. You're extremely visual and pay attention to details, and we think a moody but bright maroon or burgundy fits your personality perfectly. Accented with thoughtful touches and flowers that coordinate just so, your wedding will feel as astute as you are.
