Highlight Fabric Curtains and Drapings
A lovely way to add a sparkle to any wedding or events venue is by hanging lights up on the ceiling space, such as on curtains or drapings. You can choose as many or as little lights as you like, and choose colors to match your scheme. Curtain lights are the best for this, as they take up a lot more space and light up a bigger area.
