Animal Crossing: New Horizons' Wedding Season event has officially begun, and it centers around helping Reese and Cyrus celebrate their anniversary. This is done by organizing daily photo shoots of the alpacas onHarv’s Island, and Reese will reward players with Heart Crystals for their work. However, not all fans will know exactly what theseACNHHeart Crystals are for, and indeed this guide is written with those players in mind.

To put things simply, Heart Crystals inAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsare a currency that can be given to Cyrus in exchange for Wedding Season items. Initially, players will only be able to use their Heart Crystals to purchase five of these special items, but Cyrus’s inventory will expand as more daily photo shoots are completed. In total, there are 26 Wedding Season items that can be purchased with Heart Crystals inACNH, and here is a list of all of them with their cost and unlock requirements indicated:

Animal Crossing: New Horizons Heart Crystal Items

For players that are curious, it costs a total of 261 Heart Crystals inAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsto buy one of every item listed above. However, 11 of these items can becustomized inACNH, and fans that want to have every variation of the Wedding Season items will need to earn 303 Heart Crystals. This will quite clearly require players to complete a significant number of photo shoots throughout June, and they will also need to be getting high scores to maximize the Heart Crystals that they are earn.

With respect to how to get high scores on photo shoots, it is very important that players strictly adhere to Reese’s color requests. Additionally, fans should use a lot of items when they are decorating, and players that want to be sure that they get maximum Heart Crystals inACNHare advised to simply place one item repeatedly until the room is filled. While this is perhaps not the most fun approach, it will help players get theWedding Season itemsthat they desire.

One final thing to say about Heart Crystals inAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, is that they cannot be used to obtain absolutely every item connected to this seasonal event. Specifically, the Reese & Cyrus Photo Plate, Wedding Fence, andWedding Wandare rewards for completing six or seven daily photo shoots, and players will thus receive them as they work to earn Heart Crystals.
