As you may have gathered if you are a regular reader of the blog, I love outdoor weddings! I love everything about them (apart from the British weather) But one of the things I love most is the lighting.
The lighting in an outdoor wedding can not only form a functional aspect to the day but create a beautiful form of decoration. In the summer months it may not get dark till 10pm but as dusk falls it’s time to get out your tea lights, fairy lights……whatever takes your fancy and add another level of atmosphere to your wedding.
As a wedding planner, one fo my jobs is to light the tealights and make sure all the outdoor lighting is set up. It is important to balance out the functionality of the lighting with the prettiness aspect.
I have put together some of my favorite ideas for you to hopefully help and inspire you for your own wedding day.
Paper Lanterns
Hanging Lanterns
Paper Bag Lights
Tea Lights
DIY & Rustic Lanterns
Floating Lanterns
Mason/Jam Jars
Odd and Bods
So I hope you like my selection, do let me know what your favorite is. If you are having any sort of outdoor lighting for your wedding do let me know what you have chosen.

Apple candles! Brilliant for a countryside village wedding. What a great idea.
They are all lovely but I am smitten by the first two images:)
I love the apple candles! I’m doing a fall wedding this year for a client, and will be suggesting this idea with mini pumpkins and gourds!
I am IN LOVE with the blue lanterns in the giant tent. It’s so crisp and clean, yet totally spunky! It makes the atmosphere so playful and fun. I am totally INSPIRED!
Does anyone know what is hanging from the strand lights in the second image?
Although, you have included the photographs of some of finest examples of lights used for celebratory occasions, but would like to add one more idea to this. Many banquet halls and marriage palaces are already laced with paver lights, why not use them as the decorative lighting system in your garden area, where you can arrange the marriage function.
Thanks for sharing! Wonderful pictures!
Amazing light is equal to amazing wedding experience. I love this different lights. It can add the total excitement to the wedding.
Different light, different ideas, and different concepts equals great wedding experience.
I have fallen in love with the blue glowing jars, can someone tell me how that is done..? or isit computer work..? x
