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?

Here's a small collection of photos showing a really effective, complete lighting scheme at Cogges Manor Farm including ... deep breath ... fairy lights, drapes, Edison bulbs, festoon lights, uplighting, mirror ball, disco lights and bunting. Phew!

The immaculately maintained garden area adjacent to the barn at Stonehill House really adds to the available entertaining space during the daylight hours of a wedding reception.

This was a lovely lighting scheme for a really lovely couple holding their wedding reception at the Monks' Barn in Hurley, Berkshire.

We installed fairy lights, chandelier, paper lanterns, uplighting, outdoor lighting and a full length curtain over the barn doors. The transformation was amazing!

We love a challenge, so when we were asked to supply and install some all-weather, outdoor chandeliers for a summer wedding we were only too pleased to accept!

This was one of our favourite weddings so far this year!

The theme was a mix of Disney and village fete. The couple and their families made so many thoughtful touches, the barn looked absolutely amazing…

Our new wireless outdoor uplighters are fantastic for lighting up an outdoor space.

We spent last Friday getting soaked to the skin!

Despite torrential rain we installed hundreds of metres of outdoor fairy lights for an absolutely beautiful Asian wedding.

This gathered fairy light canopy at the Monks Barn in Hurley covered the full length of the main barn and featured a central 12-arm white chandelier as a focal point.

Here are our top tips for what’s hot this year and how to use lighting to make the most of your style. Whether you’re a rustic, elegant or country bride colour, sparkle and texture are in so be bold and think big!

Festoon lights are a great way to light outdoor areas at your wedding. They can be hung overhead or strung informally between trees and buildings for a fabulous, rustic effect. Festoons give a lovely warm light, and the multiple bulbs spread light evenly to eliminate shadows.
