String Lights
This lighting has to be one of the most popular wedding lighting options, especially for those couples looking for a whimsical, fairy-tale vibe. In fact, using string lights, in the multiple ways they can be hung, from above the table settings creating a breathtaking celestial array, to a twinkling canopy that glitters down to the floor, guarantees that your setting truly sparkles.

Wedding Ceiling Lighting
A ceiling of light can create the look of a starry sky (even in daylight) and adds softness, warmth and light to the wedding reception set-up. In addition, the overhead lighting will also come in handy once the sun goes down.
String lights used as ceiling lighting are, in general, an ultra-romantic and affordable wedding décor that can totally transform a space.

Candles
Candles are glowing decorations which can elevate the elegance of any event in the simplest of ways, a classic decor idea that never goes out of style.

Paper lanterns
For a whimsy look to your ceremony backdrop, paper lanterns are simple, yet stunning décor options and also work well as decor for both indoor and outdoor wedding settings.
