Ideas for styling a wedding with lights

Modern Wedding Posted: May 27, 2015

4.firstimage

There are few things more magical than a wedding. The love between between a bride and groom, coming together of family and friends and the happiness of the occasion are what make a wedding so special. The only thing that can top it off is a perfectly styled ceremony and reception setting to add to the enchantment.

Weddings that go from day to night are gifted with the beauty of the sky coloured by the setting sun, then with a canopy of shining stars – the perfect backdrop for any reception. A reception can be be styled for a night of classic sparkling romance, cheery outdoor festivities or a flashy indoor disco and the best way to achieve your desired look is with lights!

We’ve found the most romantic, dazzling and radiant wedding styling looks achieved with lights for all types of weddings. There are indoor, outdoor, classic, rustic, country, urban and many more wedding themes in our inspiration post with looks that are created using anything from lanterns, lamps, fairy lights and candles. We have all the brightest ideas covered!
