10 Amazing Outdoor Pendant Lighting Ideas That Will Mystify Your Special Party Night

Do you love romantic settings with sparkling crystals and light reflections bouncing off each other, creating almost a wonderland – like atmosphere? This economical, easy to prepare, yet gorgeous wedding reception lighting arrangement is all about playing with light and taking advantage of the surrounding objects to be part of a spectacular natural light performance.

On the tables we have scented candles inside tea light glasses providing soft, animated ambience with the added warmth from the burning flames. Up top, there is illusion that you are surrounded by chandeliers instead of light bulbs and tea lights inside glass spheres that hang from the trees.

The double layer of illumination not only brings out all the beautiful contrasts of flowers and glasses, they also emanate warmth and help to keep the temperature distributed evenly in cold winter nights so that your guests can enjoy the comfort of being indoor all the while indulging in the mesmerizing outdoor setup.

This stunning and brilliant pendant light idea not only looks totally cool and impressive to your guests, it's also water proof so no fear of rain pouring down and ruining your happy party night.

All you need is a good collection of small size umbrellas (works especially well with vintage looking items), hook the wires up and pull them through the umbrella handles to connect to the light bulbs.

When all is assembled, simply hang these umbrella pendant lights into nested wires (they will become invisible in the darkness in the evening).

And there you go, a magical, romantic and amazingly beautiful outdoor pendant lighting set up to turn any outdoor space into a full blown decorative party.

Great for cocktail parties or best for any outdoor social events that you are not sure about the weather, or when it's windy and traditional means of illumination is out of question, such as flame candles.

Great for Halloween, or when you need to add that little touch of spookiness, or just something out of the ordinary, resembling the glowing spider web during the night.

To make this creative cheap pendant lighting decoration, simply use second hand white stockings with glowing in the dark balls, or a hidden lamp inside and hang then to the ceiling or trees. Works spectacular for theaters, prop setups or photo studios to create that magical feeling of being lost in the forest full of light wisps and fairy creatures.

2. hot glue gun
3. pliers

7. lamp with a cable

Wow your friends with these interesting miniature moons floating in the air with very soft glows of light, just enough to illuminate your Halloween costume or Easter holiday parties. These lunar globe lighting fixtures can be hanged indoor as well, but for the best impact, an outdoor layout during calm, dry and not so windy days is recommended.

To make the moon globes you will need:

1. Perfectly round balloons (from party stores)
2. Papyrus Paper (light weight, under 110gsm)
3. Craft Glue

First, blow the balloons to the sizes you want and tighten them. Dip the papyrus paper into glue solution mixed with water at 50/50 ratio. Then tear apart these sheets of paper into narrow strips around 1 inch wide (2.5cm wide). After that lay these wet strips around your blown balloon to cover its surface, leaving only a hole just big enough to push the light bulb through later on, as shown in the picture to the right (which uses hemp strings instead of papyrus paper, but the principle is similar).

Leave your moon globe to dry completely (usually takes about 24 to 48 hrs) and you have the papyrus paper already turned into hard mold in the sphere shape of the balloon. Carefully release the air out the balloon and take it out and there you have a Luna globe ready for your Moon pendant lights show. Just be gentle with handling - these paper globes are very fragile.
