Searches for “wedding ideas” have seen a 230% increase in the last 12 months.
With this in mind, thortful has teamed up with astrologer, Inbaal Hongiman, to reveal the dream wedding for each star sign in order to provide some inspiration for those planning their big day.
From Leos’ wanting to get married in an opulent castle to Sagittarius’ eloping on a beach, here are the weddings each star sign dreams of having:
Aries
Venue: An active sign like Aries would love the idea of a sports stadium as a venue since sport is a way of life for those born under the sign of the Ram.
Theme: It’s a no-nonsense sign, with no love for frills and messes, so a modern, bold theme would suit.
Cake: Aries make no secret of their love of the colour red so that it might be red velvet under the wedding-y icing.
Colours: There’s only one colour for Aries and it is red. The reddest red. Pillar box red, fire engine red, bold, and powerful.
Size: Aries love a party and have thousands of friends; they’ll invite them all.
Season: Summer, as this fire sign enjoys the heat.
Taurus
Venue: An elegant sign like yours, is likely to pick an old mansion or even a library because you do love knowledge.
Theme: You love tradition, and you’ll pick a traditional theme, to please your own traditional tastes.
Cake: Your joy in all things traditional extends to the cake. If your family is always married with traditional fruit cake, you’ll take great pleasure in following the tradition.
Colours: Ivory is the clear winner for your Earthy, classy nature.
Size: You’re sociable but don’t enjoy being centre stage, so a small collection of your dearest friends and favourite relatives will suffice for you.
Season: Autumn will provide the perfect Earthy backdrop to your pictures. And you don’t want to sweat on the best day of your life.
Gemini
Venue: Freedom is important for you, and if the beach were available, and bare feet were an option, you would take no convincing at all.
Theme: You love to laugh, and you love to entertain. A theme that keeps everyone happy, active, and moving is your vibe. A festival theme would be wonderful, with music, games, and different food options.
Cake: You’re not a big eater and therefore would like the cake to be light and fresh. A zingy lemon cake would be a favourite.
Colours: The palest mint hue, which is lighter than air, will be perfect for your free spirit.
Size: Your ideal scenario is a wide strip of land, with enough room for everyone, and food carts so that numbers are no issue. As big as possible is fine, though you won’t feel hurt if only half the guests turn up.
Season: Springtime is best for you, as you enjoy the outdoors but wilt a bit in direct sunlight.
Cancer
Venue: A traditional sign that loves family above all else, Cancer would rather marry locally, and if possible, at a family property.
Theme: A theme that allows many members of the family to take part will be a favourite, so a romantic theme would be great.
Cake: You aim to please, white chocolate will please all your guests, and it’ll be gluten-free and vegan to ensure no one is left out.
Colours: A water sign loves watery shades; duck egg will be your colour scheme.
Size: You hate leaving everyone out, so you’ll feel like you want to invite everyone.
Season: Winter is your season. You love being indoors, warm and cosy, when the rain does its worst outside.
Leo
Venue: You’d live in a castle if you could, Leo. If that is impossible, you’ll get married in one.
Theme: Opulence is the order of the day. Your theme is luxe.
Cake: Originality matters to you, so a gin-and-tonic wedding cake will be your pick.
Colours: Gold. The colour of the Sun and the colour of luxury.
Size: Small but perfectly formed. Your wedding is an exclusive event.
Season: Summer, as bright and as sunny as possible.
Virgo
Venue: Predictability is important to you, Virgo. If you’re organising something, it’ll be indoors, quiet, and temperature controlled, like a library.
Theme: You like to keep things neat and tidy with a classic vintage feel.
Cake: You won’t take any chances with the look of the icing, a simnel cake makes the perfect foundation.
Colours: Earthy tones like taupe would make you feel calm on your big day.
Size: You won’t be breaking any rules, so you’ll let the venue fire regulations decide the size of your wedding.
Season: Autumn is your time when families aren’t travelling because kids are at school.
Libra
Venue: Librans are creative and elegant. A museum would be an ideal venue.
Theme: An art deco theme would complement Libra’s love for all things stylish.
Cake: Cafe latte is an uncommon flavour for a wedding, and will be both light and decadent, just like you, Libra!
Colours: Blue and silver is a winning combination for chic Librans.

Season: Autumn soft lighting is the perfect backdrop for an elegant do like a Libran wedding.
Scorpio
Venue: Mystical and original, you’d love to tie the knot at a historic site, Scorpio.
Theme: You’re quite fashion-forward, so a style theme, for example, Nautical would suit a water sign like you.

Size: This is an exclusive gathering. Guests should know to be thankful to be invited.
Season: Winter, so you can have at least some of the day in darkness.
Sagittarius
Venue: Travel and freedom are what you live for. Sagittarius would marry abroad, with a big unspoiled view behind.

Capricorn
Venue: A stately home is the perfect combination of luxury and tradition, two concepts that are important to you.
Theme: You’d love to see everyone dressed up in pearls and tails, a Pride-and-Prejudice style vintage is a dream!
Cake: Grand Marnier would be a luxury flavour that doesn’t look too flashy.
