Battery operated lights for weddings and receptions are easy to use, versatile, and make everything sparkle on your special day.
Battery operated white Christmas lights are an idea choice for many kinds of space where you are decorating for your wedding ceremony and the reception, especially when you're concerned about having outlets for plugging in the lights.
\"Halloween Decorations\"
Using lights with a battery pack means you will have about 6-24 hours of light available with each pack depending on the style of lights and the quality of your batteries. There are a few varieties of LED battery lights that will last up to 150 hours. It is always best to use the same batteries you are going to use at your wedding and set up a set of lights and time how long they are going to stay on.
Some Brides have asked their guests to turn on their lights all at once at the beginning of the reception or had friends turn them on right before the guests arrive.
Decorating the Wedding Ceremony
Ways you can use these great lights to decorate your church, chapel, or tent:
- Topiaries with lights
- Lights on the altar
- Lights on top of the piano or organ
- Lights on the windowsills next to stain glass windows
- Wrapped around columns or latticework
Decorating the Reception
These lights come in handy for decorating the reception area too. Whether it's inside or outside, you'll find fun and easy ways to bring light into your reception area and make it truly sparkle! Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Glass bricks - put the lights inside the glass bricks and tie a wide bow around the brick for a beautiful centerpiece or decoration for the food table, gift table, guest book table, or cake table.
- Glass vases - nestle some lights inside a glass vase and then add greenery and flowers to match the décor of your wedding - beautiful!
- Cake table - your cake table will simply sparkle with the addition of some battery operated lights surrounding the base of your cake or even nestled inside a large glass hurricane as decoration.
- Topiaries - place topiaries with lights from the ceremony strategically around the reception hall or outside tent for added decoration
- Trellises - trellises are often used for wedding décor and although they look great all on their own, they'll look even better adorned with some ivy and some white lights
- Head table - wrap the battery pack and lights in tulle and decorate the top of the head table beautifully
- Gift table - do the same motif on the gift table as you did the head table to tie them in together
Decorating with battery operated lights for weddings is really very easy and it makes the job of transforming an ordinary looking space into a spectacular one!
