Written in the Stars

For couples who would rather be married under the open sky. Guests arrive in the dark, facing a brass sky lens that holds only two initials. One press of Look up and the stars come out one by one, a line of light joins the initials into a constellation, and the lens opens onto the page.

Inside is a round star chart with degree ticks, compass points and the couple’s names across it, beside a photograph seen through a brass porthole. The celebrations follow the moon: a crescent for the sangeet, a full moon for the ceremony and a waning moon for the reception, set along an orbit. The venue is an atlas index entry with directions, a fine-lined dial counts down in T-minus, and a second photograph sits beside the couple’s story. Guests add their name to the sky and appear as small stars.

Midnight indigo, silver-white linework and a little champagne gold, with soft, calm music. The sangeet, the reception, the dress code and the story are optional.
