Four Top Reasons To Hire Our Wedding Lighting & Decor
Enhance Your Wedding Venue - We can add character to a blank canvas, such as a marquee, wedding tipi, studio, warehouse or barn. Likewise, we can help ‘disguise’ areas that don’t suit the vibe, such as patterned hotel walls or unattractive ceilings.
Project Your Wedding Theme - Consistency is key to a wedding theme, so it needs to be woven throughout all details, from stationery to cake to decor. We can assist with our styling eye, attention to detail and epic range with customisable options.
Make It Personal - Above all, the main flavour of a wedding should be you! We can help bring that one-of-a-kind awesomeness to the party with light-up letters spelling out your surname or initials or bespoke neon signs that reflect your personalities.
Add An Element Of Surprise - Nothing makes a wedding more memorable than the bits guests don’t know about or expect. We can wow them with impactful decor, dazzling lights and personal touches that will set your day apart from the rest!
Did you know? We offer discount bundle packages. So the more you book, the more you save! Already booked with us and fancy adding another item - we can offer a discount for that too! Simply email info@lovelightstheway.co.uk.

Rural Romance
Rustic wedding venues tend to feature lush, organic materials such as stone, bare brick and wood, which lend themselves to warm, clear lighting and naturally-inspired elements such as florals and botanics. High ceilings also allow for large-scale lighting and impactful ceiling decor.
LLTW Product Suggestions: Faux Flower Backdrop, White Light-Up Letters, Clear Bespoke Neon Sign or Angel Wings, Metallic Backdrop.
Fitting Venues: Wharfedale Grange, Holford Estate, Bunny Hill, Larkspur Lodge, The Tithe Barn.
Pared-Back Chic
A simple and pared-back wedding setting is perfect for those who prefer the simple things in life. But simple doesn’t have to mean soulless; the space can be brought to life with atmospheric lighting, luxe metallic tones and beautifully on-theme installations.
LLTW Product Suggestions: Fairylight Tunnel, Glitter Backdrop, Slogan Neon, Disco Balls.
Fitting Venues: fourfivestudios, The Castlefield Rooms, The Arches, The Fig House at Middleton Lodge.
Stately Elegance
Country mansions, historical halls and grand hotels often provide the backdrop for classic celebrations. The options here are embracing and enhancing the venue’s timeless elegance with romantic backdrops and soft lighting or juxtaposing cool, modern touches.
LLTW Product Suggestions: Edison Bulb Festoons, White Starlight Backdrop, White Light-Up Letters, A-Frame Backdrop.
Fitting Venues: Rudding Park, Nunsmere Hall, Howsham Hall, Mitton Hall, Capesthorne Hall, Iscoyd Park, Birdsall House.
Modern Maximalist
Cool and contemporary venues tend to go one of two ways - stripped-back or all-out maximalist, with the beauty on the lighting and decor side being that anything goes. Whether bare-brick industrial warehouse or eclectic country house, the trick is to go big and impactful and let that personality really shine through!
LLTW Product Suggestions: Colourful Bangs, Disco Balls, Colourful Neon Signs
Fitting Venues: The Courthouse, fivefourstudios, Victoria Warehouse.
Outdoor Opulence
The desire for weddings in the great outdoors remains high, from classic marquees and on-trend tipis to country gardens, rolling fields and historic ruins. Lighting is key here to emit romantic, fairytale vibes and illuminate areas when dusk falls. If entirely in the open elements, weatherproof decor is wise for that additional impact and theme consistency.
LLTW Product Suggestions: Festoons, Bangs, Fairylights.
Fitting Venues: Gisburne Park, Danby Castle Barn, Camp Katur.
Did you know? We work with balloon decor specialists in the North West and Yorkshire, so can easily incorporate balloons into our lighting installations and decor.
