A super fun and strikingly beautiful addition to any wedding, reception, or holiday party is a lighted backdrop. These are becoming more and more popular for weddings and events! They are always a great background because they are super easy to customize. You can get really creative in designing your wall of light when planning your event. Even a simple lighted background, consisting of just sheer drapery and twinkle lights can add a huge element to your event that will be sure to wow your guests!
It’s definitely a good idea to discuss your ideas and themes with the lighting specialist or wedding planner. Depending on your theme, you may want to use colored drapery behind your lights. A few popular places to set up a wall of lights are right behind the ceremony space, behind your sweetheart and wedding party table, and behind your sweets table.
Adding other decorative touches to your lighted backdrop is always a great idea. A piece of drapery that matches your table cloth and and some floral touches are a nice incorporation. Besides being a super great addition to your decor, a wall of light is a perfect backdrop for pictures.
If you want to go for a minimalist look, leave out the drapery! Warm twinkle lights or globe lights look so charming against a bare brick or wood beam wall.
