20 Ways to Use Neon Signs to Light Up Your Wedding

Neon wedding signs are a colorful, unexpected décor option that can modernize your big-day venue. This details—which have made a major comeback from the '80s—are vibrant and playful, but they can be purposeful, too. Neon signs can be used to direct guests, label stations, tell stories, and even convey important wedding details, like the date, your hashtag, or your new monogram. They can do all of this while lighting up your party, creating a festive ambience that speaks to your event's celebratory mood.

When designing your wedding ceremony or reception, hang your neon sign in a surprising way to create an eye-catching display. Take this "Till Death Do Us Part" fixture by Echo Design Studio, for example: Vanessa Noel Events placed it above these peacock chairs to make a picturesque photo booth. As for other ways to incorporate them into your event's design landscape? Neon wedding signs can indicate a venue's main entrance, lend personality to an altar, or even light up a DJ setup.

Neon signs are customizable, too, and can work for nearly any big-day aesthetic. It's up to you to decide which color, shape, and size complements your event's style. While a white cursive design can energize a classic soirée, a pink rendition can add a feminine touch to an artful, bohemian party. Best of all, these signs make great wedding keepsakes that design-savvy couples can later hang in their homes. So, we suggest going bold and styling your fête's space (and later, your house!) with a neon sign.
