This shows how mini lights were used for the decorations.
The ceiling had an area of suspended chicken wire, which was
hardly noticable.  This help up a 'roof' of mini lights and ivy.
The effect was magical.  Tea lights and candles throughout echoed

the roof were  covered in white fabric to match the drapes

curtains. A great way to disguise ugly columns.

did much of the decorating themselves.
