Hallway markers
Decorate your ceremony hall with candlelit lanterns to evoke a romantic and cozy atmosphere. This is one of our favorite (and easiest) wedding lighting ideas to recreate in almost any type of venue.

Bistro Lights
Whether you’re getting married indoors or out, bistro lights will add instant charm and character to your gathering place. Hang them over your wedding hall area, dance floor, or reception tables to create a flickering canopy of lights.
Norfolk Botanical Gardens
Tent threads
For the ultimate wow factor, accent a reception tent with dozens of draped light cords. It will feel like you are celebrating under a sky full of stars!
Wedding Parade
Edison bulbs
Edison bulbs are a sleek, modern option if you like the modern look. Hang them vertically from the ceiling with long cables to create an industrial-inspired backdrop for your ceremony or reception.

Glam lamps
Crystal chandeliers add a luxurious and dramatic twist to your wedding décor. Accompany them with elegant white ceiling curtains to create a look worthy of a fairy tale.
Silver Cove Resort
Antlers
Romantic with a rustic touch! A horned chandelier looks right at home inside a barn or country wedding venue.
Professionals of Event Light
Altar of Candles
Make your wedding ceremony seem extra-intimate by surrounding the altar with groups of pillar candles and lush green accents. Traditional chandeliers take things up a notch.
OLLI STUDIO
Wall projection
A custom gobo is one of the best wedding lighting ideas if you are looking to add an ultra-personal element to your wedding décor. Project your initials, your wedding date, or a sweet saying, such as “Love Never Fails,” onto an empty wall or on your dance floor.

Mason Jars
A quirky mason jar chandelier is ideal for a vintage or rustic chic wedding. We love seeing this country-style accent with a new purpose (rather than just for wedding centerpieces!).

Luminaires
Floating luminaires create such a magical effect whether the place has a swimming pool, fountain or other water source. You will need paper lanterns, votive candles, and Styrofoam to keep them afloat!
The Event Co.
Dance floor
Gather your guests and dance the night away in front of an illuminated wall of string lights.

Illuminated letters
Show off your last name with an illuminated sign with dotted letters. It’s like Lite-Brite for your wedding, but better!
Lionsgate Center
Chandelier room
Why stop at just one spider when you can have dozens? This magnificent installation reminds us of the famous Hall of Mirrors in Versailles. If your gathering place does not have chandeliers already installed, look into the possibility of renting them from an event stylist or a local decorating company.
A touch of patina
Chandeliers with light brown patina look lovely if you’re looking for a shabby chic aesthetic or a French country aesthetic.
Shore Club Miami Beach
Lanterns
Use flashlights to illuminate the main hallways of your venue and make it easier for your guests to navigate the space after dark.
Goodstone Inn & Restaurant
Gold details
A halo of gold leaf surrounding a classic chandelier is one of the simplest and most elegant wedding lighting ideas. This opulent space is giving us Greek goddess vibes!
LVL Weddings and Events
Pendant lights
If your venue has high ceilings, accent it with an eye-catching pendant light installation. Add ghost chairs and gold metallic accents, and you’ve got the contemporary wedding space of our dreams.
Riverland Studios
Spanish moss
Spanish moss adds a southern touch to a brass spider, but a similar look can be recreated with other plants such as eucalyptus or olive leaves.

Carp heart
How cute is this heart shaped sign? It is a perfect accent if you are looking for something simple but sweet. Place a marquee heart anywhere you need a decorative boost – above your loved one’s table, dessert bar, or your hallway.
