One of the first photos I saw of our venue had fairy lights strung between the sides of the balcony.

For our venue, I don't like that people on the balcony would be looking into the strung lights. So I'm thinking of instead stringing lights along the railing up the stairs and across the balcony.
While I've been thinking about whether or not to include fairy lights in our venue, I've been noticing how many receptions include them and how magical they can make a location. Here are some of my favorites.

Did you consider stringing fairy lights at your venue?
Yes yes yes! I *love* the way white fairy lights look. One of the venues we considered, the Henry Miller Memorial Library in Big Sur, has them permanently installed: http://www.henrymiller.org/Pictures.html
