WEDDING MARQUEE LETTERS
oversized wedding marquee signs are an amazing way to customize your event and add an extra pop of light. most couples opt for large marquee letters that they can rent. a quick search of ‘marquee letters rental’ or ‘rent marquee letters near me’, will get you on the right path to finding the perfect wedding marquee sign vendor.
if you’re more of a diy bride and want to make your own marquee letters or buy them for later use, we suggest looking up wedding tutorial videos on youtube. with how-to videos sharing steps on achieving the light-up marquee letters of your dreams, you’ll be creating a custom wedding sign in no time.
in the case of this texas styled wedding, lonestar glow co. was our go-to for these 3ft light-up steel marquee letters. adding exciting event lighting and easy personalization to dfw special events and parties since 2021, owners tyler and polly make renting their letters a breeze. from setting up to taking down, their hands-on approach to marquee letter rentals leaves little work for brides.
TAPER CANDLE RECEPTION
looking for another way to add elegant wedding lighting? candle centerpieces are always a good idea! while there are so many ways to incorporate wedding candles, we think the classic use of simple white candles in the center of the reception table is timeless.
for this styled shoot at the oasis, white taper candles were arranged along the green table runner. baby’s breath surrounded the bottom of brass and clear glass candlestick holders. the mix of candle holders created varying heights, allowing the candle display to have more dimension.
while no photos were taken while the candles were lit, their open flames cast a soft glow on the outdoor reception space. creating a warm golden glow, and other metallic elements like the brass wedding flatware and gold chiavari chairs.
LIGHT CANOPY FOR OUTDOOR WEDDING
covering this candlelit reception table was a string light canopy. while canopies of string lights are always pinned as wedding inspiration, we rarely get to see a canopy of string lights come to life. thanks to the hard work and planning of beauty marked events, this temporary fairy lights tunnel transformed this outdoor reception space.
during texas’ golden hour, the twinkle of this led light canopy was ideal for magical wedding portraits at sunset. if you’re looking for an inventive way to establish an enclosed space for your guests to enjoy an intimate and enchanting wedding dinner, we highly recommend a wedding canopy of string lights.
SPARKLY WEDDING DRESS
from candles to lights, this the oasis styled wedding in red oak, texas was whimsical and full of wonder. another element that added to the dazzling wedding vibe was our made with love ‘river’ wedding dress.
the hand-beaded lace bodice reflected the reception’s light, softly sparkling throughout the shoot. with a plunging neckline and fitted lace underskirt, this unique wedding dress had playful design details. covering the fitted layer underneath was a tiered tulle skirt.
the skirt’s floaty fabric twirled throughout each shot and blended beautifully with the bride’s long tulle veil. with photos of the cathedral veil blowing in the wind and cascading over the intricate sequin bodice, we loved how the minimal wedding accessories enhanced this elegant bridal look.
