Why Light-Up Letters Are the Hottest Trend for Weddings in 2025

Weddings in 2025 are all about personalization, bold statements, and moments that glow — literally. Enter: light-up marquee letters, the wedding decor trend that’s stealing the spotlight at receptions, ceremonies, and Instagram feeds across the country.

Whether you're a bride, groom, or planner looking for fresh inspiration, here's why illuminated letters are the must-have feature for your big day.

1. They Turn Your Name Into a Statement Piece

Custom light-up letters featuring your last name, initials, or wedding hashtag create a personalized focal point that guests won’t stop talking about. From “MR & MRS SMITH” to “#HAPPILYEVERHAMILTON,” these glowing installations double as decor and photo ops.

Pro Tip: Place them behind the sweetheart table or near the dance floor for maximum visual impact.

2. They Make Every Photo More Magical

In an era where weddings are planned with Instagram and TikTok in mind, backdrops matter. Marquee letters lit with soft white or color-changing bulbs add a cinematic glow that elevates both professional shots and guest selfies.

Whether you're working with a rustic barn, chic rooftop, or glamorous ballroom, light-up letters create instant ambiance — day or night.

3. They’re Versatile for Any Wedding Style

Light-up letters aren’t just for modern weddings. Their customizable size, font, and finish options (think: metallics, matte white, or rustic wood) make them a perfect fit for everything from boho garden ceremonies to black-tie affairs.

Planning a destination wedding? Letter and Light Co. offers portable options that travel beautifully.

4. They Spark Connection and Conversation

Guests love engaging with decor they can interact with. When couples incorporate words like “LOVE,” “DANCE,” or “FOREVER,” it adds a fun, almost theatrical element to the event. Guests gather around them, pose with them, and share them — tagging you and your vendors in the process.

5. They’re One of the Easiest WOW Factors to Book

Unlike elaborate floral arches or custom neon signs, marquee rentals are a plug-and-play upgrade that instantly transforms your venue. Licensed Letter and Light Co. providers handle delivery, setup, and takedown—so all you have to do is show up and shine.
