Giant light-up letters are one of the most photographed things at any wedding or party. A glowing LOVE sign, your initials or a name instantly personalises the room and gives guests the perfect photo spot. Here’s how to choose them and where they look best.
- LOVE is the classic, but initials, names and short words work beautifully.
- Behind the top table, beside the dancefloor or in front of a flower wall are the best spots.
- They need power nearby, so mention it to your venue.
- Mix letters with numbers for milestone birthdays and anniversaries.
What to spell
LOVE is our most requested, and it never dates. Initials (“J & A”) feel personal and fit smaller spaces, while a short name or word can be a real statement. For milestone celebrations, combine letters with numbers.
Where they look best
Behind the top table, they frame every speech photo. Beside the dancefloor, they glow in the evening shots. In front of a flower wall or sequin backdrop, they make a ready-made photo spot. Outside at dusk, they’re magical.
Practical bits
Light-up letters plug in, so they need power nearby. Choose your letters in the quote form and we’ll deliver, set them up and collect them. We’re happy to suggest the best spot when we set up.
Complete the look
Letters are the finishing touch on a well-planned room. Our wedding planning page shows what couples book most, and our room layout planner helps you place the letters, dancefloor and photo spot before the day.
