Designing a Custom LED Neon for Howard Smith Wharves
Emma and Daniel tied the knot at the stunning Howard Smith Wharves in Brisbane, they wanted their wedding décor to feel modern, romantic, and personal. One of their must-have details? A glowing custom neon wedding sign that could set the mood during the reception and become a forever keepsake in their new home together.
The Couple’s Inspiration
Emma had been scrolling Pinterest and Instagram for months, saving endless photos of wedding neon signs in Brisbane. She loved the way they created a photo-worthy focal point and added warmth to the reception space. Daniel wanted something timeless — a piece they could bring home after the wedding and hang in their living room as a reminder of their big day.
Together, they came to us at Neon Lanes with a simple but stylish request:
✨ Script their new surname in flowing cursive
✨ A warm white neon glow to complement their neutral styling palette
✨ Sized perfectly to sit behind the bridal table
The Custom Design
We worked closely with the couple to design “The Petersons” in an elegant cursive font mounted on clear acrylic. The sign measured 1.5 metres wide — big enough to make an impact, but still easy to transport and reuse later.
The sign was delivered to the venue a week before the wedding, ready for the styling team to hang behind the bridal table. Against a backdrop of soft draping and greenery, the neon created a romantic glow that tied the entire reception space together.
The Big Day
On the night, the custom neon sign quickly became one of the most photographed details. Guests took selfies in front of it, the bridal party posed underneath it, and it even appeared in the couple’s first dance shots.
The sign gave the reception a modern edge without taking away from the classic elegance of the venue. Many guests commented on how unique it felt compared to traditional décor.
