There is also going to be the opportunity to further decorate the venue for your monochrome theme. This can include Love Letter lighting. These are free-standing letters that spell out the word ‘love’ and they are white in colour. We love them because there are many LED bulbs featured that can light up your venue. They are great as décor and for lighting. Of course, they are amazing for a monochrome theme too. When they are positioned near other black and white decorations, they will look great and complement each other.
