How should I hang my neon wedding sign?
First, consider what you want your neon sign to say; neon signage is the type of feature that you can have so much fun and freedom with. Then, decide where to hang it. Display it by your reception bar area, behind your band, or mounted on the Dj booth. Surround it with florals and greenery, or leave it to glow on the wall – making its own statement.
When it comes to hanging your custom sign, your event planner and design team (and maybe even your venue) will work together to create a safe and durable solution.
