We are DIY'ing much of our wedding. Buying booze and food and hiring the DJ etc. were easy, but now we have to figure out decorations!
We have this vision for wall art throughout the venue. The idea is that we take lights (for example, fairy lights) and some kind of grid (for example, chicken wire) and make huge "light murals" of Chicago and New York skylines, where we are both from. So the lights form the outline, using the chicken wire as a grid system so it's uniform -- and also easy to transport, roll up, unroll, and hang.
I made a proof of concept in Illustrator: http://imgur.com/8X3it39. It's about 8 feet by 4 feet and uses 2 inch chicken wire. I measured the length of the path already, and it's about 33 feet. Luckily, they sell fairy lights in 33 foot increments which is perfect.
Don't mind the gaps in the lines in the image. I made a custom brush/pattern in Illustrator and I'm not very good at it. But it would be one continuous string of lights.
We don't know how many we'll have, and if we'll do a separate one for each skyline, or combine skylines on the same grid and distinguish between the two with different colors.
But I wanted to get /r/DIY's thoughts on the general concept first. Do you think that will look nice? Is this doable? Is there a better way that I'm not considering? Maybe different lights, or something other than chicken wire? I haven't really been able to find examples on the Internet.
