Lamont’s Bishop House is one of Perth’s most distinctive wedding venues, and festoon lighting is one of the most effective ways to make use of it after dark. Strung between poles across the open-air courtyard, festoon lines run above the lawn to define the space without enclosing it, the city skyline remains visible beyond the ivy-covered walls, and the heritage stone backdrop holds its own against the light.
For couples who want more layered lighting across the reception, fairy light canopies can be installed to add density overhead, drawing the eye upward while keeping the courtyard feel intact. The combination of festoon and fairy light works particularly well at this venue, the two create distinct visual planes without competing with each other or the surrounding architecture.
The courtyard at Lamont’s Bishop House is compact enough that lighting has real presence, and open enough that it doesn’t feel overdone. Festoon lines photograph well against the stone and greenery, particularly once the sun goes down and the city lights behind the venue come into frame.
