How to Style Festoon Lighting
What is Festoon Lighting
Festoon lights are the traditional, big bulb garland lights, They’re the oversized glass globes that have grown in popularity over recent years. So, now’s the perfect time to brighten up your space.
Originally used to describe wreaths and garlands hung at celebrations and banquets, the word “festoon” (from the Latin festum, meaning “feast”) refers to the shape the lights make when hung loosely in a “swag”, with the style origination in roman times. The Romans did one of two things right and creating this style is one of them.

Festoon lighting is hugely popular at the moment and it’s also incredibly versatile; giving you the perfect atmospheric lighting wherever you need it. Festoon lights are the perfect choice for many a special occasion. Particularly popular for weddings, and outdoor venues. Festoon lights work well alongside more traditional fairy lights in wedding marquees and venues, and fit especially well with vintage or retro wedding themes.
We also love festoon lights for Christmas. Moving away from the traditional icicle lights many people are using festoon lighting to create a more rustic and nostalgic themed Christmas. Our connectable festoon lights mean lighting can be used throughout the whole home, from indoor hallway lights to outdoor tree lights.
