Planning Your Perfect Wedding at The Aster in St. George, Utah

Choosing Florals, Food, Fashion, and your Finale!

At The Aster Event Venue in St. George, Utah, we know the magic is in the details. With stunning desert backdrops and modern indoor elegance, our venue offers the perfect canvas for your dream wedding. Once the venue is booked, it’s time to make the creative choices that reflect your style—from flowers and food to bridal party fashion and send-off celebrations.

Below, we’re breaking down four popular wedding planning decisions to help you make the day truly yours.

1. Pastel Flowers vs. Bright Flowers

Pastel Flowers: Romantic & Timeless

Soft tones like blush, lavender, and sage offer a romantic, vintage feel. They pair beautifully with St. George’s natural desert tones and our venue’s light-filled spaces.

Best for:

  • Spring weddings

  • Elegant or vintage themes

  • Garden-inspired palettes

Bright Flowers: Bold & Joyful

Coral, fuchsia, tangerine, and turquoise bring energy and vibrance. They pop against The Aster’s neutral palette and the surrounding red rock views.

Best for:

  • Summer or fall weddings

  • Boho or tropical vibes

  • Couples who love a festive flair

2. Buffet-Style Meal vs. Seated Dinner

Buffet: Casual & Crowd-Friendly

A buffet lets your guests choose what they love and encourages mingling. Great for large groups and serving without a staff.

Why couples love it:

  • More flexible for dietary needs

  • Budget-friendly

  • Laid-back, social atmosphere

Seated Dinner: Elegant & Structured

A plated meal offers a more formal experience with timed courses and personalized service, ideal for weddings inside The Aster’s large gathering space.

Perfect for:

  • Intimate guest counts

  • Formal or black-tie events

  • Couples who want a refined feel

3. Matching Bridesmaids Dresses vs. Mismatched Styles

Matching Dresses: Classic & Cohesive

Choosing the same dress color and style for all bridesmaids creates a clean, elegant look—especially striking in formal portraits taken in front of our modern venue design.

Best for:

  • Traditional or minimal weddings

  • Smaller bridal parties

Mismatched Dresses: Stylish & Personalized

Letting bridesmaids choose different shades within a palette (like muted pastels or vibrant tones) brings texture and individuality to your wedding photos.

Ideal for:

  • Modern, boho, or casual weddings

  • Large bridal parties

  • Personal expression and comfort

4. Sparkler Exit vs. Bubble Send-Off

Sparkler Exit: Magical & Photogenic

A sparkler send-off outside The Aster creates a glowing, unforgettable finish. It’s a dreamy way to end the night—and looks amazing on camera.

Bubble Send-Off: Playful & Venue-Friendly

Perfect for earlier ceremonies or venues with fire restrictions. Bubbles are fun, safe, and add a whimsical touch to your final walk.

Great for:

  • Daytime or kid-friendly weddings

  • Spring or indoor ceremonies

  • Light-hearted vibes
