The Magical World of Fairy Lights

One way many couples have added a soft romantic feeling to their evening reception or ceremony is by using fairy lights. Not your run of the mill Christmas decoration, fairy lights are a safer alternative to candlelight and come in a wide range of sizes and configurations that can turn an ordinary wedding venue into a fairyland of delight.

Intertwined with tulle and draped in a tent-like fashion that envelopes guests in a warm soft light, cascading as a backdrop behind the head table, laced through nearby trees in an outdoor setting or wound around centerpieces for a lifting dramatic effect, the number of ideas for uses of fairy lights is only as limited as the imagination that wields them.

Whether you are a do-it-yourselfer or you leave it in the hands of professionals who specialize in creating their own spectacular effects, fairy lights are an easy fix that can turn even the drabbest location into the location of your dreams.

The size and length of bulbs vary, from small petite whispers to long and bold statements, as do the types of strands the bulbs are arranged on. They can be single strands, many strands rolled together in a rope-like fashion, or the hanging icicle-like variety. To match your wedding theme, they can even come in a variety of colors.

For the addition of color, the better choice would be to go with the latest in fairy light design, the fairy flower. Usually handmade, these delicate creations consist of a floral or leaf theme that surrounds each light, casting its own color on the light for a truly remarkable sight. Roses, carnations, or the delicate frangipani for a more tropical look, they offer a visual effect perfect for your guestbook, cake or head table.

For the ultimate fairytale setting that will leave you feeling Happily Ever After, look no further than the magical and wondrous effects of fairy lights.
