The most romantic way to add some soft light to an outdoor wedding is candles. Candles in glasses are the best choice for an outdoor wedding, as they will be protected from the wind. You can use candles to light many parts of your wedding, such as dining-tables, entrance, passages, etc.

2. Illuminated signs

3. Twinkling white lights

Twinkling white lights are another amazing addition to an outdoor wedding. They can be scattered throughout tree leaves, wrapped around tree trunks and tent poles, or even made into illuminated centerpieces. A romantic effect of a starry night can be created by tiny white lights over the top of the reception area.

4. Paper lanterns

Overhead paper lanterns can really illuminate your outdoor space and that is very important because adequate light coming from above can make sure your guests see their dinner in the evening. What’s better, soft light is flattering, gently illuminate your stunning wedding gown and make your face look more beautiful.

My last suggestion is that you do a test run on an evening before your wedding to make sure the amount of light is enough, but not too bright which can kill the mood.

That’s today’s introduction of how to illuminate your outdoor wedding. Do you plan to try it on your big day?
