Using Fairy lights for weddings has become popular on the East Coast and beyond. The industry saw dozens of beautiful and uniquely creative ways to hang fairy lights emerge. Many lighting companies and wedding planners jumped on the trend.
Now, most lighting rental businesses carry all manner of small-source string lights.
Fairy Lights Are Trendy
But why are they so popular? They are perfect for the job. Their small profile and classic look are decor items themselves. Fairly lights provide lighting for your space and provide a design feature.
The powerful combination of several thousand light sources provides an intimate atmosphere and lends itself to amazing pictures. Some features are caught in a picture here and there. When you have a whole canopy of lights covering the entire event space, it's going to be hard to miss.
The lightweight strings of lights can be set up fairly quickly. Newer string lights are typically warm white LEDs, with a cozy hue of light. These take way less power than their incandescent predecessors. That means a design using fairy lights can be set up practically anywhere. Even remote venues.
Fairy Lights, Twinkle Lights or Christmas Lights?
Although you might see slightly different things referred to as fairy lights, they are all basically the same design element. Lighting rental companies may use smaller profile lights for certain tasks, and larger profile for others. You may also see them called Twinkle Lights.
