Weddings do a remarkable job of making what is usually just a grassy lawn or porch feel like an enchanted fairytale – mostly thanks to the lighting. At one I attended recently, I found myself wondering: how on earth are little chandeliers hanging from those trees? Wires through… wood? I don’t think so.
I asked around and, to my surprise, discovered they’re an elegant Amazon hack: a $38 antique-style crystal solar chandelier that’s essentially a scaled-down version of something you’d expect sparkling overhead at the Ritz Paris. Powered by the sun, this outdoor lighting needs no wiring and, thanks to a simple S-hook, can hang pretty much anywhere – from patios and pergolas to tree branches in need of a little summertime swank.
