A dream is a wish your heart makes..
Introducing Rusty Letter Lights
by Clare
The story of Cinderella is a classic fairy tale that has survived in our traditions for several centuries. Many little girls would dream of a wealthy prince to sweep them off their feet and provide comfort, love and wealth. Weddings are also something many young girls dream of, from dressing up in costumes and adding “jewellery” when they are little to play forts in the garden that only a child’s imagination can sustain.
We’ll the day has come and your wedding is a realistic dream you heart has made..
“Be kind, have courage and always believe in a little magic.”

For 2019 – there is a return of a classic and simplistic wedding theme, combined with a modern rough textured backgrounds and bright colours.
Yes, the traditional white wedding where everything was classic, clean and white is being replaced with colour! Be bold and choose bright faux oranges, Rusty Reds, Blazing Blues & Field Greens … use white only where it matters. Choose a simplistic white dress as this looks good when colour is carefully placed throughout the room. Your white dress will stand out, especially with our new Rusty coloured Letter Lights.

At South West Letter Lights we have created a stunning new collection of Letter Lights in a Rusty coloured theme, which is a transformation from the traditional all white wedding and adds a beautiful backdrop to your photos.
These lights look fantastic when paired with our mini white letter lights, and look even better as a backdrop in your photos. Choose lighting like little fairy lights, hanging pendants and classic gowns – watch them illuminate the room as the lights dim for the evening, adding a gentle warmth that fills the room. Now available we have a great selection of Rusty Letter Lights: Rusty Love, Rusty 8 Ft Heart or our Rusty Hastag lights and contact us for your preferred combination of Initials or any combination of letters.
These vintage style letter lights are just the right colour with a rusty style and stand both 4 & 8 feet tall. The plan is to build the full alphabet so any combination of letters or words can be supplied. They look absolutely stunning with our mini white letter lights as well – so make sure you book the mini “Mr & Mrs” and then order your last name for the full effect.
… if you keep on believing, the dream that you wish can come true.”

There’s this thing about weddings…
by Clare
It’s a beautiful spring day, as Britain is treated to the luxury of summer weather in February. There are daffodils and summer flowers making their appearance, the trees are starting to blossom and colour seems to come back to the hills.
As I drive into town in the early morning, traffic has come to a stop. And before I get too annoyed with the drivers in front, I catch a glimpse of a mother lamb and her little babies as they take a brave step across the road. Of course, we don’t mind waiting for such beautiful creatures and wait patiently for nature to make its crossing. As I continue my journey, I can see the green of the countryside and remind myself how beautiful Devon is this time of year.
There’s this thing about spring, that seems to bring a new optimism and hope that makes weddings this time for year ever more special…
You see there’s this thing about the spring that seems to bring a new optimism and hope that makes weddings this time of year ever more special. The celebration of true love is a rare glimpse of something fantastic, something new and a hope that so many long for and few manage to find. A spring wedding has a newness that envelopes everyone who attends – bringing nothing but joy, optimism and a promise that true love is alive and well!
A wedding is not only a formal ceremony and contract that binds you to one another, but it’s a proclamation of love that is definitely worth celebrating! From the wedding ceremony where the fairy lights adorn the isles to the party that you’ll never forget.
South West Letter Lights has been helping couples celebrate their love since 2014 and we are enjoying continued growth. We offer full set up, take down and delivery of our large Letter Lights that come complete with energy efficient bulbs and a few extras just in case.
