Marquee Lights Are Not Just Initials*
A Standard Item for Weddings, Marquee Lights ♡
With a strong presence, marquee lights brighten and beautify welcome spaces and head tables, making them a staple for DIY brides*
It's common to combine the initials of the bride and groom with an "&" ♡
But don’t you think you haven’t seen many marquee lights that aren’t initials…?
So this time, we will introduce some unique marquee lights featuring dates, symbols, kanji, and more♩
Unusual Marquee Light ① Kanji of the Couple
A bride who DIYed marquee lights using kanji that represents the couple instead of initials♡ It seems they usually call each other "Inu-san" (Dog) and "Kame-san" (Turtle).
The heart shape for the dot in "犬" (Inu) is so cute!♡ "亀" (Kame) looks quite challenging compared to alphabets, but it definitely makes a statement*
Taking one character from their names might also be a good idea♡
Unusual Marquee Light ② Kotobuki (寿)
The "Kotobuki" marquee light is something I hope brides with traditional wedding attire will imitate. Isn’t it very rare?♡
It could be used for pre-wedding photos in traditional attire or for venue decoration♩
However, since it doesn’t stand on its own, it needs supporting items when displayed at the venue*
Unusual Marquee Light ③ Star☆
This romantic marquee light is used in a wedding photo. At first glance, it seems like a standard design, but…
Upon closer inspection, the middle of the initials is a star-shaped marquee light instead of an "&"☆
Star and heart-shaped marquee lights as symbols also serve as cute accent points♡ It could be great to create them in the shape of your favorite motif.
Unusual Marquee Light ④ Map
A marquee light shaped like the map of the United States♡ It looks like the interior of a stylish shop* The idea of using a map as a marquee light is unique and wonderful!
How about using a map of a memorable country, illuminating the cities the couple has visited together? Isn’t that a lovely idea?♡
Unusual Marquee Light ⑤ Date
Marquee lights featuring dates are surprisingly rare to see even though they seem common♡ Using initial marquee lights for the head table and date marquee lights for the welcome space could be a nice differentiation♩
