wow outdoor lighting

on a recent run outdoors, i noticed a pretty amazing home with a large tent being set up out in the backyard, obviously there is about to be a large gathering/party and most likely alot of fun had by all. i hope that once homeowners go to such lengths to entertain, that they keep unusual or exquisite outdoor lighting in mind as well...

there are so many amazing outdoor lighting options, to shy away from ordinary string lights is just fun. lighting that is unexpected, that doesn't appear to fit or belong outdoors is fun. so why not get downright creative with outdoor lighting options? wow your guests, right?! these are a few favorite, recent finds. in case you are planning something just as cool. enjoy!
