Lights under table for reception... Yay or Nay?

Anikia, on August 14, 2016 at 11:10 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 21

So with 18 days left before my wedding I've been feeling little down about my decorations for the reception. I felt like I needed something to really jazz up the place. I happened to be in my Aunt's garage and stumbled across boxes of Christmas lights which she stated we could use! I thought it would really be pretty to put them under under the bridal party table and cake table. Then all of sudden I thought of putting lights underneath all the tables including the guest tables. Since it's so late in the game there no way I can order those light fixtures in have them in time. I thought of maybe getting those tall big led light candles and setting them under the table to give a pretty amber glow. At this point am I pushing it with the idea or should do it? I just need opinions please! Thanks in advance! Pictures of what I'm talking about below.

    I kind of like it! Will there be light anywhere else? What color will they be?

    We were also thinking of adding lights, but I'm not so sure about the cords and stuff

    I like just the amber, off white colored lights. I'm also worried about cords but I think it could work. They're will also be candles on the table.

    I really really like it. If you do it please post a picture, I want to do this also. Maybe you can do a trial one with a table tablecloth at home?

    I think it's pretty. Plus it's unexpected so I think the guests will like it.

    I like the string lights under the bridal party and cake table only. I think doing all the tables is too much money and stress, and I think just doing those tables kinda highlights them and draws special attention, which is nice. But hey, certainly do whatever you think will be best. But don't stress too much. It will be beautiful whether there are 1000 lights or none. :-)

    I love the look. I'd be concerned about legs getting tangled in cords. Try it out ahead of time and sit at the table.
