Why it fits the first year

The first anniversary is traditionally paper: something new, light, made to be kept. A Galaxy Origins print is printed on fine art paper, so it honours the tradition exactly, without being a card or a book.

It starts from your wedding: the date, the time of the ceremony or the first dance, and the place. We compute the point directly overhead and find the real galaxy nearest to it that is still unassigned. That galaxy, photographed by a telescope, is the artwork.

What to write on it

Black wood frame and printed artwork detail
Product visualisation. Your print carries your own galaxy and words.

You have up to sixty characters beneath the galaxy. The ones that work best are short:

  • Your names and the date: Anna & James · 14 June 2025
  • A line from your vows: Every day, the same answer.
  • The place, said your way: The night it rained in Charleston.

The studio shows you a proof with your words before you order, so you can see the spacing and check every letter.
