3 DIFFERENT WAYS TO DECORATE A TREE WITH LIGHTS FOR A WEDDING

For such a special occasion as a wedding, one needs to choose the type of lights & decoration they'll be using on the trees carefully; as the majority of the time they will be the focus of attention (and photos!) for an outdoor wedding. 

Before choosing a lighting style, you need to visualize what you would like the final product to look like. Additionally, before embarking on this task, you'll need 1) good taste - which is something that may not so easily be found in decorators - 2) ability to use and mobilize on tall ladders and 3) proper amount of time to install the lights. Because of all these factors, sometimes it is a better option to hire a specialist. 

However, if you still choose to go the DIY route, note the decoration should be chosen depending on the size and shape of the tree.
Below we'll call out 3x type of decorative styles:

Option 1:

For a large tree, you can utilize white string lights with big bulbs on the 
exterior. The attached picture shows a wrapping style decoration.

Option 2:

For any canopy shaped tree (like in the example image), you can install warmer toned mini lights on both the interior & exterior in a defined pattern. This technique requires more experience and patience, as well as the knowledge of where to place the lights and have the tree look fully finished.

​Option 3:

If you're decorating multiple trees of the same kind, you can utilize steady lights or a mix of steady and twinkle lights. Like the trees in the picture, wrapping would be used around the entire trunks and main branches.
