Romantic Tea Lights
Sometimes, less is more. Flickering tea lights are seriously romantic and will match almost any theme. These are a great option for couples on a budget.
Twinkling Fairy Lights
A fairy light backdrop can add instant glamour to a ballroom or suite when placed behind the top table.
But, we think they look pretty epic for an outdoor festival themed celebration and add a much-needed touch of warmth to rustic barn venues during those colder winter months.
Industrial Chic – Naked Bulbs
Large industrial spaces and blank canvasses are becoming hugely popular across the pond – no doubt we will see this filtering to the UK and Ireland over the coming year.
This trend is all about pared back chic and metallic elements. Naked bulbs are the cherry on top when it comes to your super modern and trend-setting wedding.
Vintage Lanterns
Vintage lanterns are totally versatile in terms of decor and placement. They make gorgeous center pieces or alternatively, they can transform a simple civil ceremony suite by placing along the aisle. Many venues now include vintage lanterns or birdcages as decor in their wedding packages, meaning the expense of sourcing these won’t fall on you.
Glamorous Chandeliers
Okay, maybe we’re being a bit ambitious… We’ve mainly seen this trend on American soil, and we can only imagine the cost! But hey, a girl can dream!
Colourful Paper Lanterns
Colour is back for the 2016/2017 wedding season. Bright and bold paper lanterns exude exotic summer vibes, perfect if you want to bring abroad to your celebration at home.
Check out Glenview Hotel & Leisure Club for some inspiration. The team are total bosses when it comes to outdoor ceremonies and fun decor ideas!
Old World Elements
Bring a sprinkle of Shakespeare to your own love story. Elegant candlebras and vintage bottles with flickering taper candles will set your whimsical and romantic atmosphere beautifully.
Hanging Candles
Many bespoke decor companies create stunning visual features for church ceremonies and wedding receptions alike. Cherry blossom trees with hanging tealight baubles have been hugely popular in recent years. So, if you’re worried about the unreliable Irish weather, this lighting idea can be adjusted easily to suit your indoor space.
