No matter the theme of your wedding, your decor simply won't be complete without a little light. Read on for unique wedding lighting tips and get inspired!
Spring is here, and that means wedding season is around the corner. Whether you’re planning for a wedding this year or just in your dreams, we’ve got the wedding lights you need to create the perfect setting for your nuptials.
String lights are a classic choice for wedding décor—their dainty, warm glow adds elegance and an ethereal, romantic feeling to any space. A few ways to use them include:
- String up lights over your reception area’s tables layered with tulle or fabric for a dreamy feel
- Use them to line your aisles to act as a beautiful guide for your guests.
- Add a hint of light to your centerpiece by wrapping strands around flower arrangements or candles
- Consider taking inspiration from the Christmas season by wrapping lights around the bases and branches of trees on your ceremony grounds for a look that is truly magical
Candles are another common choice for accenting wedding décor, but we recommend a more modern approach to this idea—flameless LED candles! Candles are one of the easiest ways to create instant romantic ambience whether your wedding is indoors or out, and flameless candles provide the same beautiful effect without the risk of fire or mess of melted wax. Many flameless candles feature a realistic moving flame effect so you don’t have to sacrifice the warm flicker you expect from candles. Just a few ways to use them:
- Use an array of large pillar candles to accent centerpieces or at the altar
- Pair miniature tea lights with mason jars around flower arrangements
- Use candle holders for height around tables for a look that glows
Lighted letters have become a huge trend in home, restaurant and hotel décor in the past few months, so why not apply that trend to your wedding? Lighted letters take your wedding décor to the next level with a beautiful personalized touch—spell out your initials, the word LOVE, and much more!
LED lanterns are commonly used for outdoor decorating in the summertime, but a few strategically placed lanterns at a wedding reception or ceremony can really elevate the feel of the celebration. Hang them high in your reception tent for an airy feel, or string them in trees around the venue for a glowing, magical effect.
