The image of the newlyweds

Bride's look: dress in space style
The bride and her image on this day should reflect the theme of the celebration. A shiny wedding dress, rhinestones and sequins will help add a cosmic touch. The color of the outfit can be classic white, purple and blue, like the starry sky, or even gold, like the star itself.
You can complement the look with accessories: a shiny handbag, star-shaped jewelry, a veil strewn with glitter and a bouquet in blue tones. In makeup, the bride can afford a lot of glitter and golden shades.
Groom image
The groom can complement his suit with various accessories: a blue tie, a purple bow tie, socks with stars, a bright boutonniere. The bravest girls can add glitter to their hairstyle.
Intergalactic photozone
The photo zone was also decorated in a cosmic style - a planet in the background, “stone” blocks, blue-violet lighting.
Space cake
The cake and its presentation are one of the main decorations of any wedding. Something for which guests stay until the end and don’t run away, even if they’re bored. By choosing a cosmic style, you have every chance to impress guests with the design of the main treat and its enchanting presentation at the wedding.
Let the cake be in the same shades as the holiday decor. With or without flowers, with stars or sparkles, in the shape of a big planet or the Moon - a space cake will definitely not go unnoticed and will fantastically complete your holiday.
But, in addition to the cake, it is worth organizing a candy bar at the holiday. Gingerbread stars and planets, shiny cupcakes, fruits and berries in blue and purple shades, cake pops and many different sweets made in a space theme. Candy bars always become an additional photo zone for guests and a wonderful addition to the overall decor.
Wedding in space
In Houston (USA), at the Mission Control Center, 17 years ago the first wedding in history was held in outer space. But there was one nuance: the bride was on Earth, and the groom was in space. We can say that the wedding was held in absentia - Yuri gave his consent over the phone with the ISS. It’s good that the legislation of the state of Texas, where Catherine lives, allows marriage in the absence of one of the newlyweds.
The earthly part of the ceremony was held in a restaurant near Houston. Relatives and friends of the bride and groom arrived there. In orbit, the wedding witnesses were Alexander Kaleri, who replaced Malenchenko on the ISS, and American cosmonaut Edward Lu. It is known that Lou even played the wedding march on a synthesizer.
Dress code for guests
Bridesmaid dresses can be made to match the color of your wedding: purple, blue or light blue. Dresses in gold shades are also suitable for a space theme. You can complement your looks with accessories in the form of flower bracelets or hairpins. You can add space bowties or ties to your groomsmen's look.
Invitations
More than 200 people were invited to the wedding. All of them received invitations in the form of cosmic spheres with images of the zodiac constellations of the bride and groom and an abigram monogram. Inside were information discs with a description of the three-day wedding program, dress code and directions.
Completion of the celebration
The finishing touch to your space wedding will be fireworks, which will fit perfectly into the concept of the holiday. Guests can be offered sparklers. They will help create a magical atmosphere for the final photos.
Remember, your wedding is a day that will remain in your memory forever. Choose the style that reflects you. And don't be afraid to dream. And the portal www.svadbagolik.ru will always help you think through how to make your dream come true!
Details
After a couple of months of bureaucratic confusion, the two lovers overcame all obstacles and played a cosmic wedding. 17 years ago, 26-year-old Ekaterina Dmitrieva walked down the aisle in the main hall of the Space Center. Johnson in Houston. Then the space station, carrying 42-year-old cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko, emerged from the shadow of the Earth south of New Zealand and found itself on its sunny side.

Malenchenko, contrary to expectations, put on an official flight uniform, rather than a tuxedo. He and his best man, fellow spacecraft member Edward Lu, appeared in an online broadcast that was officially classified as a "private family conference" and was not broadcast publicly on NASA television.
Star stories
Nine years ago, on August 10, 2003, for the first time in the history of the planet, a wedding took place in space. Strictly speaking, the wedding was only half “cosmic”. At the time of the marriage, Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malanchenko was in orbit, and his bride, an American of Russian origin, Ekaterina Dmitrieva, was on Earth. But it looks like their wedding will remain one of a kind.
This event went down in history as the first wedding recorded during a space mission. True, organizing the wedding ceremony cost the newlyweds themselves a lot of effort. The engagement took place in Houston, long before the flight, in December 2002. The celebration was scheduled for August, the month the flight was completed. Malenchenko, having received an order to extend the space flight, decided not to postpone the wedding.
The newlyweds thought through the legal part of the issue quite cleverly. In Russian law, a wedding in the absence of any of the “weds” is impossible, but marriages concluded in the United States are recognized without problems. And in the state of Texas, in turn, marriage is possible in the presence of only one of the newlyweds. So Ekaterina Dmitrieva received a marriage license almost unhindered. NASA even accommodated the couple and provided the Mission Control Center for a teleconference so that the lovers could see each other during the ceremony. Although initially the management was outraged by the idea of “using the station’s resources for personal purposes.”
Catherine already dreamed of how her husband would return to Earth and they would spend their honeymoon. The newlyweds planned to go to Russia and get married, and then go on a honeymoon to Australia. But unforeseen complications arose with the Russian side.

Air Force Commander Vladimir Mikhailov said that an active officer in the Russian army is obliged to inform the command that his fiancee is a foreigner, and permission must be obtained for such a marriage. The idea of holding a ceremony in space didn’t appeal to him either. “An astronaut should behave like a proper person, not like a movie star,” he said.
The astronaut’s superiors claimed that he did not inform his colleagues and management about his plans at all. “Unfortunately, Yura put us in a very uncomfortable position. He didn’t warn us about this at all,” said Rosaviakosmos press secretary Sergei Gorbunov. — If his fiancee asked permission from the authorities and officially contacted NASA, then Yuri did it differently. He didn’t say anything before the flight, but called from orbit and presented it with a fact.”
Having learned about all the legal difficulties associated with this idea, Malanchenko even wanted to postpone the wedding, which almost cost him his career. But the command took pity on him and allowed him to hold the wedding on board the station.
The Progress M1-10 transport ship delivered a wedding tailcoat and a wedding ring for the groom aboard the International Space Station. Yuri’s colleague, American Edward Lu, did an excellent job as a witness. He even specially learned a wedding march on a synthesizer. On August 10, the bride and the “space” groom took vows of fidelity and put on wedding rings.
True, they had to carry out this procedure themselves. Instead of the groom, the lawyer signed the marriage certificate. However, the space authorities decided to protect themselves from such shocks in the future. Now, in the contract that crews sign before launch, there is a special clause prohibiting marriage during an expedition in space. It seems that Yuri Malanchenko will remain the first and only cosmonaut who got married right in orbit.
General concept of the celebration
Before proceeding directly to preparing the celebration, the newlyweds need to decide on the general concept of the celebration. This will make it much easier to look for decorations and select images. Based on the theme of space, you can organize a wedding in the style of “Star Wars” or another favorite movie. You don’t have to rely on ready-made plots at all and take the stars, moon, and planets as a basis. Just trust your imagination and find your original idea around which your ideal celebration will be built.
How to create a space wedding
Celebrations in space style are not new for 2021. But it was this year that “galactic” weddings became especially relevant. It's about the trendy color of the year according to the Pantone Institute - ultraviolet - and the versatility of cosmic stylistics. Decor on a “universal” scale
The design of a cosmic celebration can be different: from large-scale decorations recreating the solar system to laconic minimalism in clear lines. The only limitations here are imagination and budget.
If you have settled on a cosmic style, decide on a palette: galactic blue-violet, blue-gray shades of the night sky or the cold metallic of a spaceship. The chosen palette should be traced in all the details of the celebration, from invitations to the design of the main areas of the wedding banquet site.
Metal and glass furniture, vases and candlesticks of strict geometric shapes will help create a cosmic atmosphere. In general, glass finishing in any form is the preferred decor option. Details made of concrete, crystal and monochrome plastic are also acceptable. For napkins, tablecloths and other wedding textiles, any shiny one-color fabric is suitable. It is important not to overdo it with glitter; combine glitter with matte textures.
Attention to detail
Space weddings should follow a single theme in every detail. Don’t forget that a misplaced pen, which the couple will use to sign the certificate at the exit registration, or an unaesthetic knife for cutting the cake can spoil the perfect picture.
Particular attention should be paid to printing. Here we will also roughly divide space cards into two types, based on the design: monochrome (concise products combining silver letters and a white-gray background) and galaxy (make an invitation into a piece of the starry sky in blue-violet tones, adding shimmer to them).
It is also advisable to generously decorate the wedding cake and other desserts with sparkles, while maintaining the minimalist shape of the sweets. For those who are afraid of food glitter, there are nifty toppers in the shape of stars, the moon and other extraterrestrial objects.
The image of the newlyweds
The bride's dress should be moderately strict, but not primitive. A model with a long train and a minimalist corset without elaborate decoration is the optimal solution. In makeup, a bright accent on the eyes or lips is acceptable. Don't skimp when applying a cool-toned highlighter. Brave brides can afford to temporarily dye individual strands in blue tones.
Space styling allows for braiding and glossy smoothness of straight, flowing hair. Brides use tiaras made of transparent plastic or glass to decorate their hairstyles. The groom will fit into the galactic style with just a silver or galactic blue-violet tie or bow tie.
