How to Transform Your Wedding Venue with Twinkle Lighting

Twinkle lighting or "sea of lights" ceilings have been one of the most popular lighting elements we’ve seen this summer, and by the looks of couples’ Pinterest boards, the trend isn’t going to go away anytime soon.

It’s a versatile lighting element both indoors and outdoors that can truly transform your wedding venue into the space of your dreams.

Ready to see 6 ways you can transform your wedding venue with twinkle lighting? Let’s do it.

#1
Intimate Head Table

Create an intimate feeling with a twinkle light canopy over your head table, creating a sea of lights all around.

This is especially helpful for more intimate weddings in larger venues. By creating a more intimate space within a larger space.

Guide Guests’ Attention

Have a unique installation you want to guide guests’ attention to? Utilize twinkle lighting to really highlight the installation.

This stunning paper crane installation by some very talented vendor friends was a show stopper - the twinkle lighting complimented the install and brought the twinkle at the later hours.

A Sea of Lights

A sea of lights is one of the most requested and sought after looks of the summer.

One way we create that effect at our venues with tall ceilings is by installing an abundance of twinkle lights, allowing them to freely hang.
