Whimsical Fairy Lighting
Fairy lights are timeless and versatile. Draping them across trees, tents, pergolas, or around your reception area can create a romantic, whimsical atmosphere. They can also be wrapped around pillars and arches to add a touch of sparkle. For an extra magical effect, consider using cascading fairy lights to mimic a starry night sky or to frame a photo booth area, enhancing the charm of your wedding decor.
