The wicker lamps, besides being trendy, radiate a fresh and natural air that enchants. They are ideal for country, rustic, boho-chic weddings, eco-friendly or picnic style, although they can also provide a fascinating contrast in urban or industrial weddings.

You will find hanging wicker lamps to illuminate the skies, but also floor lamps and torches to decorate different spaces. The lamps made of this vegetable fiber, nest type, stand out among the favorites to decorate indoors and outdoors.

On the other hand, you can combine your wicker lighting with wicker underplates, baskets or decorative hearts made of this material.

Regardless of the trends, crystal chandeliers are a style that never goes out of fashion. Classic, elegant and imposing, the so-called chandeliers or teardrop chandeliers are ideal for decorating indoor living rooms, although they also work outdoors.

You can choose to suspend one chandelier per table at the banquet, or opt for a single chandelier in XL format to hang in the center of the venue. Chandeliers are perfect for all types of weddings, from hotel events to vineyard celebrations, and for weddings with a touch of glam.

3. Paper illumination

The colorful Chinese lanterns are still among the most chosen by the bride and groom, and they are not only economical, but also brighten up any space where they are placed. For example, you can hang these paper lanterns in the trees, if the wedding will be outdoors, or extend them inside a tent, if that is the case.

You can also choose between Chinese lamps in white, Chinese lamps in all colors or Chinese lamps in a chromatic palette, such as pink and fuchsia. Paper lamps are perfect for rustic, beach, vintage, bohemian or urban weddings, since they adapt to all styles. Moreover, they are as practical as they are decorative, since you can use them even if you are getting married during the day.

It's a trend that's here to stay, and it's a trend that has become one of the most coveted for weddings. The idea is to spread them on the banquet tables, in the pool, in the garden or in the Candy Bar.

Try wiring light bulbs at different heights and in a variety of colors, for example, gold or orange tones. Garlands with exposed bulbs, although popularized in industrial weddings, are now popular at all types of weddings.

Besides fulfilling its practical function, the lighting resource will allow you to create fascinating atmospheres, as well as highlight certain spaces. For example, if you are getting married in an outdoor location, take advantage of the trees to hang cascades of lights or paper lanterns. This way you will get a beautiful place to take pictures.
