I hate Christmas lights. Said no one, ever. Because seriously, who
doesn’t love a good string o’ lights? I know I do. In fact, the first
time I saw the tree at Rockefeller Centre in New York, I almost passed
out with delight. And the second, and the third. (I liked that tree a
LOT.) Admittedly, actually getting them wound around a tree I am less a
fan of (cue: annual family tree argument) but once they’re up, twinkling
away, there’s nothing quite like it. Maybe that’s why fairy lights/
twinkle lights/potato/potahtoe are always such an exciting component of
wedding decor – maybe they remind us of things magical and childlike. Or
maybe we all just like shiny stuff. Whatever the cause, it’s coming on
Christmas, and I feel like looking at some sparklies, so today’s post is
sheer fairy light indulgence. Some of these babies go big on quantity,
but they’re also big on impact and romance. Lights transform an outdoor
area into an intimate evening space, or warm up a winter wedding, or
create an illusion of height, or just add that extra bit of wow. Hang
them in strings, wind them around trees, hang them vertically from the
ceiling. Create a wall of light, or a curtain, or a path. But whatever
you do, take a few moments to drink them in – the hundred tiny stars
shining just for you.Via
