A Guide To Wedding Lights

By: Kathryn Dawson Home | Home-and-Family | Home-Appliances


Your wedding is one of the most important and special days of your life. That means everything has got to be perfect. From the food to the clothes to the venue, everything needs to look just right. Wedding lights are often overlooked, but the truth is that the lighting at a venue can affect the overall atmosphere and party feel. If you want to make sure your wedding goes with a bang then you should follow some simple tips and ideas to ensure the lighting is just perfect. Read on to find out how to create the best effect possible with your wedding lights.

If you are getting married in a church, then it is unlikely you will able to decorate with lights such as fairy lights. Traditionally churches are decorated with flowers rather than lights. There may well be an opportunity however to incorporate one or two lights into the flowers if you want to really make them stand out. This works especially well if you are getting married in the later afternoon or early evening when the sky is darkening outside. The best advice is to find out well in advance what you are able to do in terms of decorating the church. If you are getting married at another wedding venue, there may also be guidelines you have to follow in terms of decoration. If you are holding the ceremony in a place where you can decorate, then you can have a lot of fun decorating it with wedding lights.

Imagine fairy lights adorning the chairs or twinkling overhead even. There are endless ways you can decorate the place where you say your wedding wows. Lights in the flower arrangements are beautiful and you could even have the aisle lit with rope lights or other types of fairy lights. Candles look beautiful too, but naked flames can be dangerous especially in places where there are a lot of people, foliage and long flowing dresses!

The venue of the reception can be lit up how you want, undoubtedly. This is the place where you can really have a lot of fun with your lighting. Getting it right with lights can make or break the party so it is vital that considerable thought is given to it. Candles on each table can look lovely, but do you want a naked flame there? A battery operated light would be far better and there are so many to choose from that you can have the exact type to suit you. Lights in the table decorations look beautiful and should definitely be used if possible.

If you are getting married in a marquee then having a starry canopy above the dance floor is an excellent idea. This can really add that extra bit of magic to the evening. The rest of the tent can be lit with soft lighting and lights on each table, but where the dancing takes place, a starry canopy works beautifully. Outside the venue you can enjoy some rope lights wrapped around the trees to add a party feel. There can be flares to light the way and even spotlights and lights in bushes to highlight the features of the outside space. When you really use lights to your advantage, a venue can be totally transformed into a magical and beautiful place. It is well worth spending some time ensuring you get it just right.

Wedding lights are a very important part of the big day so it is a good idea to make a plan in advance as to what you are going to have. Outdoor fairy lights and indoor fairy lights too can both be used to create a beautiful and whimsical ambience. To get the best deals on your wedding lights you should shop online.
