String Light Wedding Decor That Makes Our Hearts Glow Up

Canopies of string lights at weddings are taking over Instagram by storm and it’s no wonder why it’s such a beloved lighting style. We’re so inspired by this wedding lighting trend that we’re convinced everyone should have one of these installations in their patios this summer. I mean, why not, right?

We’ve rounded up our favorite twinkling light canopies from some of our recent weddings and some faves from our Insta friends, starting with this gorgeous tent frame draped in string lights in Santorini:

If you’re after this look for your own home, you can purchase lighting poles or make your own using 4×4 lumber, anchored in cement buckets that can be disguised in planters. We LOVE this welcoming mood for a wedding reception like the below:
