Classic Wedding Item, Marquee Light ♡
When it comes to marquee lights, they are a staple wedding item used for decorations in areas like the high altar and welcome space, as well as for pre-wedding photos.*
While you can purchase them, many brides also enjoy DIYing them with cardstock and LED lights.♡
The charm of DIY lies in the ability to customize the design to your liking. This time, we’ll introduce some uniquely designed marquee lights created by brides.♩

This arrangement features moss from Daiso attached to the inside of the marquee light made of thick cardboard.* The lights glow softly from behind the green, creating a natural and adorable look.♡
After embedding the lights from the back, the moss is torn and attached to the surface.♩ You could also experiment with flower petals or cotton instead of moss.

While it's common for marquee lights to have the lights exposed from the back, you can cover the surface with a semi-transparent paper (like tracing paper) to create a softly glowing design.♩
This casual marquee light gains an elegant impression.*

It's common to paint marquee lights with gold spray paint before inserting the LED lights at the end.*
However, this one was covered with denim fabric instead of being sprayed. Doesn’t it add a more casual vibe?♡
Remake sheets with wood grain or tile patterns are also available at 100-yen shops, making this an idea worth trying!♡
