Whether you prefer your wedding décor to be gently twinkling, brightly sparkling, or shining with over-the-top golds and silvers, we can all agree that fairy lights add that special something to your wedding decor. Whatever your style, wherever the location, there’s a smart light to wrap your special day in magic, you’ll find ideas for the perfect wedding lighting décor right here.
Decorative wedding lighting has the power to dramatically enhance the tone and atmosphere of your setting. It can be subtle but powerful – or the focal point of your décor. They create a timeless feel that also transports you and your guest to a dreamworld, if only just for a night.
They are also magical in the background of your wedding photos, adding a gentle blur in the background for capturing romantic moments and they’re especially effective for evening portraits, highlighting the couple with a magical glow in every shot.
Customize your fairy lights
Twinkly smart LED lights can be positioned anywhere – hedges, columns, trees, even walls and backdrops. Once in place, use the Twinkly App and your smartphone camera to map (locate the position) of your LEDs into a 3D display. The app guides you through the quick process.
This turns your lights into a screen-like display to play the effects that you choose to celebrate your wedding.
Connect & expand lighting decorations
All Twinkly indoor and outdoor lights can be connected to play the same effects using the Twinkly App. And… there are tons of preset effects already loaded in the app for you to play. They can also be customized. For example, you really like an effect but it’s moving too fast? Tap edit and adjust the speed.
Choosing the right type of string lights for your big day
String lights
Fairy lights are the most versatile and classic wedding lights. Twinkly Strings are the smartest version of fairy lights and perfect for indoor and outdoor use. With a smooth, flexible string and small LEDs, they weave through hedges and greenery like plants for natural and even lighting coverage.
Wrap them around trees or overhead at outdoor events. If there are gazebos, pergolas or tents – string lights can be wrapped around the structures to create an ethereal vibe that transports guests into a realm of celebration and love.
They come in various size, from 100 LEDs (8m/26ft) to 750 LEDs (60m/197ft)
Curtain lights
Curtain lights are an amazing and often overlooked type of lighting décor perfect for weddings. These decorative LEDs resemble a cascading curtain with their dangling strands. When mapped using the Twinkly App, they act like screens to play gorgeous wedding effects. The transparent wire makes them perfect for any area of your reception, allowing them to blend in perfectly with existing decor. They are suitable for use outdoors.
The hang-and-play design ensures easy installation onto walls or over doorways. Create a photo-station for your guests to make memories by using Curtain as the background with a shining animation that matches the colors or your bouquet or wedding theme.
Use the app to virtually connect two or more Curtains together or layer them for denser lighting. They will act like one single display! Twinkly Curtain comes in two sizes: 1.5 x 2.1 meters / 5 x 7 feet (210 LEDs) or 3 x 2 meters/ 9.8 x 6.5 feet (400 LEDs).

Accessories: Discover the power of music
Imagine your lights shining in harmony to the beat of your first dance, love ballads and dance music – creating the perfect vibe for the dance floor and washing your guests in dynamic color effects.

Whether you have a live wedding band or a DJ, sync all of your lighting decoration to the music. It works by plugging it into any USB-A outlet and connecting it to the Twinkly mobile app – the same one you are using for your Twinkly lights.
The music dongle features a sound sensor with a smart microphone that listens to and interprets ambient sounds, translating them into movement with your lights. Choose the perfect mood and close the app. You don’t need your phone to keep Twinkly Music working. It functions independently.

If you use lights like Twinkly Strings and Curtain, it will be easy to add the perfect luminous touch without overpowering the other decor. You can also easily adjust brightness using the Twinkly App.
