Industrial touches are very popular for home and event decor, they add a bit of edge to any space and look eye-catchy. If you feel like adding a trendy feel to your wedding, if you want to create a bold contrast with your romantic decor and bring vintage flavor, Edison bulbs are your choice. They can be used in tons of ways and can easily fit many themes and styles, from minimalist to fairy-tale. Let me share some gorgeous ideas.

Overhead Decor And Chandeliers

It’s very logical to use Edison bulbs for adding light to your wedding venue. As overhead decor is very popular now, you may go for stylish overhead decorations of greenery and blooms incorporating Edison bulbs hanging down. They will not only add light but will also make your reception edgier. You may cover the whole decoration with greenery and blooms to hide the base for a more elegant feel or hang only bulbs to add an industrial touch. One more idea is turning Edison bulbs into tiny vases, putting flowers inside and hanging them everywhere you want – over the reception, dance floor, altar and so on.
