The outdoor space at Ufton Court is simply beautiful day or night, and the chunky oak pergola just outside the Archer's Hall is the perfect place to sit for a bit of shelter while enjoying the view of the gardens.

Here's the fairy light canopy that we showed at the Caswell House Spring Open Day. It's a widthways canopy, meaning that it runs from side to side across the width of the barn, creating a sparkly ceiling of lights.

When it comes to the evening of your wedding day and it's time to hit the dance floor, our mirror ball and disco lights transform the Tithe Barn at Ufton Court at the flick of a switch!

We like a challenge from time to time, and it's always good fun putting together a custom design for one of our lovely clients. One of our recent couples had fallen in love with the idea of a fairy light backdrop for their wedding at the Monks Barn in Hurley, but this was no ordinary fairy light backdrop.

Oh my goodness it's been such a busy year of lovely weddings at Caswell House. We've lost count of how many times we've visited in the past few months, but safe to say it now feels like a second home!

Here's a lovely wedding lighting canopy that incorporates multiple elements for an incredible effect.

The couple for this wedding at Ufton Court chose our fairy light star canopy (so called because of the star shape it makes if you look it from a bird-seye view) with white voile drapes and topped off with an Edison bulb cartwheel chandelier in the centre.

Wow wow wow! Love a chance to try something new - here's a brand new canopy design mixing ribbons and fairy lights.

Still a firm favourite, here's our fairy light star canopy with lit paper lanterns in Ufton Court's Tithe Barn.

Our ever-popular fairy light star canopy was paired with a glittering crystal chandelier at its centre for this wintery wedding in the tithe barn at Ufton Court.

Here's another little video showing off one of our canopies.

This time it's the fairy light star canopy in Wenman's Barn at Caswell House. It's only a few short clips, but hopefully it helps to give an impression of how the canopy fits into the space.

We added this shimmering backdrop of fairy lights to the rear doors behind the top table for a wintery wedding at Ufton Court, alongside a multi-swag fairy light canopy and LED uplighters.

Sometimes it can be hard to visualise how a particular canopy looks in a venue but videos can really help by showing it from multiple angles.

So we've started putting together a few clips of some of our most popular canopies.

What better way is there to add some magical sparkle to your wedding ceremony than by holding it in front of a huge curtain of pretty fairy lights?

(It looks pretty good at night, too!)

This is one of our favourite and most popular lighting designs for Caswell House, a widthways fairy light canopy, shown in this case combined with controllable LED uplighters.

Similar to many other barns, the Black Barn at Rushall Manor Farm has a row of pillars along one of its long sides and in this case that's where the top table was going to be.

What better way to frame the wedding party, light the space, and create a focal point than to wind lots of lovely sparkly fairy lights around and between the beams?

It's so nice to be able to step outside Ufton Court's Tithe Barn for a few minutes in the beautiful courtyard and gardens. To make sure you and your wedding guests can continue to enjoy the outdoor space after dark it's a good idea to add some lighting outside, but how to do that in a way that looks good?

Having posted only recently about our new fairy light canopy with hanging roses design, it's proving popular already. Last week we installed it for three different weddings in the space of a few days!

Here are some more photos showing how it looks both in daylight and at night, in two different barn wedding venues.

We took yet another trip to the wonderful Ufton Court in Berkshire to install some lighting for a large wedding in the gorgeous Tithe Barn!

Our star-shaped canopy of fairy lights sits neatly above the ceremony area in Wenman's Barn at Caswell House.

The lights radiate out from a high point in the middle to lower points around the walls, making a pretty display not only for the wedding ceremony but for the whole day!

Here's something new: a sparkly fairy light canopy adorned with gorgeous hanging silk roses!

Shown here in Ufton Court's large Tithe Barn, the fairy lights look fab on their own and the design really comes to life with the addition of the roses suspended from the lights.
