Light-Up “W” Reception Accent

For a personal touch, Rachael's brother-in-law designed a stunning light-up "W" monogram for the couple's reception. "He made a giant marquee “W” in his garage for Steve’s and my last initial," Rachael says. The couple added string lighting above their family-style reception table and tea-light candles to complement the accent. The lighting design also created a welcome glow over their backyard setting.
