Every summer, as the Fourth of July approaches, our obsession with stars begins to skyrocket. When we think of summer, we think of warm, lazy nights spent gazing up at star-encrusted skies high above city parks and mountain campsites. On the Fall 2012 fashion runways, starry styles shone bright, and the trend is now orbiting the wedding world. We love the twinkling, 5-pointed shape as an accent for bridal dresses and accessories or as a pattern for reception decor and paper goods. Be inspired by our round-up of starry finds for sparkling summer soirees!

Wishing you all a star-filled summer and a happy Fourth of July holiday!
