"Light up" Letters

Looking for something different to light up your wedding?  Predicted to sweep the UK in 2015, light up letters are becoming an increasingly popular "must have" wedding trend - adding glamour and fun to any wedding.

These light up letters come in every letter, enabling you to spell out phrases or words of your choice. Ideas include: 'I do,' 'Love,' 'Just Married,'  or the initials of you and your groom. Weddings with a theme could even use the lights to spell out related words. For example, for a fairy tale wedding, letters could spell out 'Magic' and 'Once upon a Time' to help create the ultimate fairy tale theme.

The letters can be placed anywhere you like - from the ceremony and entrance stairs, to the reception room or venue garden. These portable lights will give your wedding decor the WOW factor that you've been looking for.  They also provide a great photo backdrop for a wedding photo shoot, adding something that little bit different.

What do they cost? Hiring prices range from £235 to £350. The cost is often inclusive of delivery and re-collection of the letters; whilst some companies offer the flexibility of couriers to anywhere, others offer a personal delivery service, including set up and collection.

How do I get them to my venue?  The light up letters are approximately 4 foot by 2 foot, but as several companies design and make their own there is some variation in size, style and weight. They will either be delivered by courier to your venue or delivered and set up by the company you are hiring from.

The popularity of light up letters is increasing rapidly, and most companies have a limited supply of each letter, so make sure you secure yours by booking in advance to avoid disappointment!
