A new 4ft Wooden Heart!

Creating this light up heart was one of those projects that perfectly captures why I love running my event business. I designed and built this custom light-up heart from scratch as a statement décor piece for weddings, engagements, proposals, and branded events. From cutting and shaping the structure to installing each individual LED bulb by hand, the goal was to create a marquee-style heart that feels bold, romantic, and high-end while still being durable enough for repeated event use. This kind of bespoke event décor is what helps transform a venue from ordinary into unforgettable.

For my event styling business, standout visuals are everything. Guests remember moments, and moments are driven by atmosphere. This illuminated heart was created specifically to serve as a show-stopping photo backdrop and focal point for events. Whether it’s a wedding reception, a Valentine’s activation, a surprise proposal, or a luxury birthday party, light-up marquee décor like this heart adds warmth, depth, and instant impact. Search terms like light up heart hire, marquee heart for weddings, and event lighting décor are exactly why I invest time into building unique pieces instead of buying generic props.

What makes this heart special is the craftsmanship behind it. Every angle was carefully measured to keep the shape clean and modern, while the cool white LED bulbs were spaced to give an even glow that photographs beautifully in both low light and daylight settings. As an event professional, I’m always thinking about how décor looks on camera, how it fits into different venue sizes, and how easily it can be transported and installed. This custom heart checks all those boxes, making it a versatile addition to my event hire inventory.

Building custom event décor like this allows my business to stand out in a competitive events market. Clients searching for unique event décor, custom marquee letters, or wedding lighting installations want something they haven’t seen at every other event. This heart represents my commitment to originality, quality, and creating memorable experiences. It’s not just a prop — it’s a statement piece designed to elevate events and give clients something truly special to remember.
