The stars align for an evening spent under the tapestry of the heavens. Leave behind all your mundane and earthly cares and take in the grandeur and mystery of the constellations and celestial bodies under a ceiling of stars. It will be an evening to remember!

Attire
Cocktail chic preferred. Cosmos-themed headpieces and accessories. Sequins and glitter pulled from the stars. Silks and crushed velvet torn from the Milky Way. For color palettes, look no further than the planets in our solar system.
Black tie optional.
