How to Plan the Ideal Wedding as A Virgo, According to Astrologers

Born between August 23 and September 22, Virgos are recognized by their exacting precision and cut-to-the-chase practicality--not to mention extreme perfectionism. They’re earth signs ruled by Mercury, and they possess earthy, grounded decision-making skills and an impressive ability to let nothing fall through the cracks, all reasons why these people are the ultimate wedding planners.

As with everything, there’s an upside to this: “I think Virgos really get the big picture yet they also handle the tiny moving pieces of it,” says astrologer Leo Raymond. They put on a good (fancy) show, they tell you this much — from spreadsheets to cost breakdowns to guest lists personalized based on, say, whether every attendee is indeed a lemon-fiend, they keep everyone calm and make magic happen as if with a wand.”

Planning Style

Virgos prefer order, and they tend to start planning as soon as the ring hits their finger. “You can expect well-organized timelines, shared documents and calculated budgets,” says Raymond. They’re frugal and purposeful, often asking friends to participate in roles, such as vendors, to help their vestibule and cut down on expenses.

And a Virgo’s perfectionist streak, adds the astrologer Nina Vale, can also make it stressful. “They can be preoccupied with any other little defect or hiccup,” she says. “The key is learning to let go of the little things and to know that not everything has to be perfect.

Best Wedding Dates for Virgos

Virgos don’t need to stick to the well-worn wedding season schedule. Astrologers advise instead aiming for dates during Virgo season (late August to late September), Capricorn season (late December to mid-January), Pisces season (late February to March) or near a full moon in Capricorn (usually between June 21 and July 22). These hours are favored times for Virgo for communicating and harmonizing aspects of your love life.

Décor and Color Palette

Classic earthy colors and elegant textures are what Virgos are drawn to. Their style is best in soft tans, muted greens and rich jewel tones like emerald or sapphire. “Things like crystal details and symmetry are going to draw them in,” says Vale. Whether it’s a minimalist tablescape or perfectly folded linens, no detail is too small.

Venue Vibes

Virgos like to keep it modest, simply chic. “They’re attracted to spaces that feel homey and curated and not flashy,” Raymond says. Imagine a garden estate with gourmet fare or a charming countryside inn with personalized touches.

How a place feels is more important than how a place looks — so places with cozy nooks and personal touches will always win over palatial spaces.

Wedding Attire

Virgo style is classic chic. Vale sees a Virgo bride in a classic, satin dress with organic accents and dainty gloves. The groom? A timeless black tux that is perfect for you. “Virgos have a conservative, sophisticated nature and it’s reflected in their sartorial choices,” she says.

Food and Drinks

Virgos are here to please when it comes to the menu. “Everything from dietary requirements to the thoughtfully selected course of each meal will be taken care of,” Vale says. Look for sleek, health-forward plates to match a classic signature cocktail such as a martini — basic, bold and polished.

The Cake

With cake, clean lines and symmetry matter. Ditch the crazy and opt for a straight, clean design. Cue smooth fondant, fresh flowers or delicate geometric patterns.

Honeymoon Destinations

Virgos adore nature and simplicity. Raymond recommends that they try a glamping vacation in a national park — Yellowstone is a favorite — so that they can rejuvenate, bond and go on meaningful adventures in nature.

Final Thought

Virgos have the personal grooming skills and practical life sense to plan a gorgeous, grounded wedding with meaning. With some openness and good faith in the process, their joyous day will be as smooth as it is memorable.
