Wedding Lighting Ideas
Wedding lighting is an excellent way to bring add ambience and a magical atmosphere to a wedding. But let’s not forget, adding string lights is a practical addition too as it adds some much needed task lighting along with instant decor!
All our string lights are connectable, allowing you to create a vast number of hanging styles and patterns. Post wedding and event you can disconnect your sets and use them individually or reconfigure to make smaller displays of light.
To help get you inspired, here are some of our top picks for wedding and event lighting!
Aisle Lighting
Light your wedding aisle from above with strings of icicle lights. Available in either a staggered drop or a one length drop they'll create a mesmerising glow as they drape beautifully from the ceiling.

Or opt for connectable fairy string lights and follow a zig zag weave pattern with a slight drop in the hang for a canopy effect.

Curtain Fairy Lights
Curtain Fairy Lights can really soften a venue space and make it feel ever so romantic. They are an excellent choice for decorating large blank walls and are one of our easiest lights to hang. Simply hang from point to point and watch them drape and fall.

Or create your own wall using Curtain Fairy Lights. They'll help break up and soften what would've been an empty space.
Ceiling Fairy Lights
If you want to focus on a smaller ceiling area, Net Fairy Lights are an excellent choice! You can connect multiple sets together to achieve a web like canopy of fairy lights hanging from the ceiling. This style works well when wanting to highlight certain tables or when you need to break the room up a little and add some decor.
If you have a larger area to light then festoon lights are a great option. There are so many ways to hang these lights from zig zag to rows to X shapes or simply a grid pattern. They provide both functional and ambient light with the added bonus of being dimmable so you can change the mood and vibes throughout the night.

Fairy Lights are a great option when wanting to light up the majority of the seating areas. You can opt for a classic row or zig zag hanging pattern. The ability to connect up to 750m of fairy lights and use just one power source makes this hang so easy to install.

Or choose a maypole, tee pee style effect. For the ulitmate combo, combine fairy lights with sheer drapes. This look will provide elegant decor along with ambient, functional light. You can use 3 way splitters to help create this look.
Suspended Light Swing
If you are planning a suspended flower arrangement, add festoon lights for a show-stopping evening display. For a more dramatic effect, opt for festoon droppers so you can layer your ligths and achieve that little extra wow factor!

Or go with a flush mounted bulb and use a ladder as a decorative hanging feature. We love the combination of a warm white glow among green foliage.
Table Seed Fairy Lights
Seed Fairy Lights are ideal for centrepieces to bring a delicate touch to your dining areas. Who doesn't love a little twinkle of light! Weave through your table for an effortless glow.
Opt for USB Powered or Battery Powered Seed Fairy Lights.
