Styling Favourites
Wedding Styling
Create striking, romantic, and camera-ready atmospheres for your next show or celebration. Whether you're designing a wedding catwalk for a trade show, curating an editorial shoot, or styling a reception venue, our handmade paper stars are the perfect backdrop for moments that matter.
Crafted for visual depth and effortless elegance, Paper Starlights can be suspended from ceiling rigs, styled with festoon lighting, or clustered for dramatic displays.
Decor for Hospitality & Food Spaces
Create immersive, low-effort atmosphere for restaurants, bars, cafés, and food halls.
Our stars are ideal for styling:
- High ceilings in market halls
- Beams and rafters in converted industrial spaces
- Around existing pendant lighting (without blocking light)
- Over communal tables or seasonal feature zones
- Year-round or seasonal display changes (Christmas, Valentine’s, summer)
Suspend stars in between fittings or cluster them above feature areas for an ambient, “Instagrammable” glow.
On Set & On Screen
From major film productions to intimate stage sets, Paper Starlights have become a trusted design element for creating atmospheric, camera-friendly backdrops that shine on screen — literally.
Our stars have featured in a growing list of film, TV, and theatre productions, including:
- The Hustle
- Saltburn
- Cliff Richard’s Christmas Special
…and numerous independent films, music videos, and theatre productions across the UK and beyond.
