Jewelry has long been a way to express personality, style, and even aspirations. Among the myriad designs available, celestial-themed jewelry—particularly moon star rings—has captured the imaginations of wearers for centuries. These enchanting pieces combine cosmic symbolism with artistic craftsmanship, creating jewelry that is both visually stunning and meaningful. Whether you’re drawn to astrology, astronomy, or simply appreciate the romance of the night sky, a moon star ring adds a touch of celestial elegance to any collection.
Celestial motifs have been celebrated in art and fashion for millennia. From ancient civilizations that revered the moon and stars as divine symbols to modern designers who incorporate cosmic elements into fine jewelry, these themes continue to inspire. The moon star ring embodies mystery, beauty, and the infinite possibilities of the universe, making it a versatile accessory that transcends trends.
Wearing a moon and star ring is more than a fashion statement—it’s a personal symbol. The moon often represents femininity, intuition, and transformation, while stars symbolize guidance, hope, and ambition. Together in a ring design, they create a meaningful accessory that can resonate with wearers of all ages.
Selecting the ideal moon star ring involves considering both style and symbolism. Rings are available in a wide range of metals, including sterling silver, gold, rose gold, and platinum. Each metal enhances the cosmic design differently: silver offers a cool, ethereal glow reminiscent of moonlight, while gold adds warmth and elegance, evoking the brilliance of distant stars.
The type of moon and star incorporated into the ring also matters. Some designs feature a crescent moon paired with a single star, while others include multiple stars, full moons, or even gemstone accents. Popular stones such as diamonds, sapphires, or cubic zirconia can mimic the twinkle of stars, adding sparkle and sophistication to the ring. Additionally, some moon star rings are crafted with enamel or inlaid gemstones to create colorful, eye-catching effects that capture the imagination.
One of the remarkable qualities of a moon star ring is its versatility. Its celestial design can complement both casual outfits and formal ensembles. For daytime wear, a delicate moon and star ring can subtly enhance a minimalist look, adding charm without overpowering an outfit. For evening events or special occasions, a bolder design with sparkling accents can serve as a statement piece, drawing attention and admiration.
Celestial rings are also perfect for layering. Stackable moon star rings can be combined with other celestial jewelry, such as sun-themed rings or constellation-inspired bands, to create a personalized cosmic style. This layering trend allows wearers to showcase their creativity and fashion-forward sensibilities while maintaining an elegant, cohesive look.

Happy Friday everyone and how are you all? Feeling festive at all? This weekend is a strange one as it’s our family’s Christmas day. Nik, Dexter and I are going to Thailand for Christmas, so we are having a fake Christmas day on Sunday, so Dexter still gets a day opening presents and eating Christmas dinner with his cousins and Nana before we go. The presents are all wrapped, the food is ordered, we are good to go, just two and half weeks early! Then next week it is operation shop and pack for our holiday, as I still have loads to do! speaking of holiday destinations, I am taking you off to Costa Roca today for the gorgeous elopement wedding of Monique and Austin who were married on 17th August 2024 at Sueño del Mar Beachfront Hotel. The whole day was simple, elegant, relaxed and romantic, with white flowers keeping the overall look modern and understated. Monique and Austin look effortlessly cool and blissfully happy. Big thanks to Bacalao Films and Mil Besos Costa Rica for this delightful wedding.

Planning a wedding in Italy can feel exciting and daunting at the same time, especially when the plan includes children, grandparents and friends with different travel habits. Many couples start with scenery in mind, but soon realise the best spots also make day-to-day things simple.
Regions with small towns nearby tend to strike that balance, giving guests beauty but also places to wander for a coffee or quick errands. Families usually appreciate clear layouts, relaxed staff and food that doesn’t confuse anyone. The trick is choosing a place where the pace feels relaxed enough that no one’s stressed before the ceremony even starts. Once that part’s sorted, everything else falls into place on its own.
Different corners of Italy offer different moods, and couples often discover their families have stronger preferences than expected. One group might be set on countryside quiet, while another wants a short walk to a café so grandparents don’t feel stranded.
Areas near smaller towns work well because they give a sense of space without sending guests too far from the basics. Places in Tuscany or Umbria usually hit that middle ground, with farmhouses tucked into landscapes that feel open but still lived-in. Conversations about venues often drift into stories about past trips, especially those tied to memorable family vacations to Italy, which nudges people toward spots where they felt comfortable before.
Kids usually care more about having room to run around and a pool that isn’t freezing. Adults tend to ask about shade and whether the drive from the airport is reasonable. It’s practical things like that that shape the decision.

Now we are into December it’s safe to say that Christmas is just round the corner, so what better way to celebrate than with a brand new Christmas DIY project. As you are probably aware, I absolute adore Christmas, so when I got chatting with Tracey from Campbell’s flowers and we reminisced about the last DIY project we did together we both agreed that we needed to do a new one! I was so excited for a day full of floristry, talking flowers, wedding trends and all things Christmas. We invited Meg from Fox Moon Photography to join us and she did an amazing job of documenting the process. Tracey came up with this stunning Scandi Inspired design which would be perfect for any Christmas table, I am absolutely delighted with the finished outcome! It was pretty simple to do, so I highly recommend you get your craft on and get inspired by Tracey’s beautiful creations.
What a wonderful day we had together. A huge thank you to my lovely friend Kelly for inviting me to collaborate on this festive project, and to the amazing Meg from Fox Moon Photography for capturing it all so beautifully. It was such a joy spending the day with two inspiring women, supporting one another, sharing creativity and experiences.
We all hope this post inspires you to create something personal, unique and full of festive joy and hopefully a Christmas table arrangement that becomes part of your family memories for years to come.
For this collaboration we created a Scandi inspired, sustainable, foam free and long lasting Christmas centrepiece that brings fragrance, texture and a relaxed sense of luxury to your home. All the materials are super accessible and easy to access through your local florist or even back garden, if you’re lucky enough to have a few bits and pieces you can cut.
During the workshop session. I guided Kelly step by step through the process as we worked together to design a nature inspired table arrangement using the best of what’s fresh and seasonal, along with carefully chosen dried materials.
To complete the look, I styled a Christmas table with glowing candles, ribbon tied napkins and natural accents, to help inspire how to elevate completed designs. Once we added our arrangements, the table came alive with that Boho Luxe wedding styling we both love, the epitome of relaxed, elegant and perfectly festive vibes.

Choosing your wedding colours is a bit like choosing the heartbeat of your celebration. It sets the tone, shapes the mood, and quietly influences every design detail from start to finish.
And as we look ahead to 2026, couples are getting bolder and more intentional with their colour choices than before. This year’s palettes are all about expressing who you are while creating an atmosphere your guests won’t soon forget.
Here’s how colour is taking centre stage in the year ahead, and how these trends are weaving their way into every detail.
2026 is shaping up to be the year of brave color choices. Couples are stepping away from the “safe” tones of years past and leaning into hues that make a real impact.
Sarah Blessinger of Kindred Weddings and Events shares, “For 2026, I think we will start seeing more bold colors and combinations. Couples are becoming more comfortable with bright pops of color used as foundational colors and fewer neutral colors.”
Many find that bolder palettes help set the mood from the very first touchpoint. A punchy tone on your invitation suite, for example, gives guests an immediate sense of the personality behind the day. And when those vivid colors carry through to table decor, florals, and even fashion choices? You end up with a celebration that feels cohesive and full of character.
