When it comes to your destination wedding décor, one of the most important elements that’s often overlooked is lighting. Whether you’re hosting a sunset ceremony or are looking to light up the night at your reception, we put together some of our favourite unique lighting options for your big day in paradise.

Paper lanterns

Classic and simple paper lanterns look especially gorgeous for outdoor wedding receptions. The soft glow they cast will create ideal lighting for your wedding photos and will look picture-perfect against the twinkling stars in the night sky.

Tiki torches

Looking for a unique way to light up your ceremony aisle? Tiki torches will provide a dramatic touch to your sunset or dusk nuptials. They also add more of a tropical ambiance than typical candles or votives that you may see back home.

String light canopies

Host your reception under a magical canopy of fairy lights! We love string lights for weddings, as they brighten the space while also providing an ethereal and romantic ambiance. While it’s common to string them over top of your reception, we love completely blanketing the space in a ceiling of lights.

Elegant chandeliers

If you’re going for a more glamorous and sophisticated style, incorporate chandeliers into your wedding décor. The elegant light fixtures aren’t just for indoor celebrations – you can incorporate them into your outdoor ceremony or reception by hanging them from a gazebo, trellis or even tree branches.

Abstract fixtures

Add a touch of whimsy to your wedding venue with abstract lighting fixtures. You can play with different textures and styles to create a unique and memorable lighting moment. Your destination wedding consultant can help you source different options that might be available at your resort or venue.

Romantic candlelight

Nothing says romance like a venue lit by candlelight. For your nighttime reception, decorate your space with hundreds of candles in votives, lanterns and more. We love placing larger pillar candles together in glass lanterns and individual votive candles at each place setting.
