Discover Decorating with Wrought Iron Flair!

Wednesday, May 23, 2012


Today, Memorial Day is celebrated as the unofficial opening day of summer. Grills are uncovered, cleaned, fired up and loaded with savory treats. Friends and family cheers icy beverages and recline on patriotically decorated porches all across the country while children splash around in backyard pools.


We dress our yards with miniature flags and light off fireworks at dusk – but in all of the fun and celebration it can be easy to forget the true reason for this patriotic holiday.

Since the early 20th century, Memorial Day has existed as a day of remembrance for the brave men and women who have died during military service. Some celebrate the day by visiting the memorials and cemeteries dedicated to our fallen servicemen and servicewomen.


Here at Iron Accents, we want to extend a special thank you to all of those who have served in the military to protect those at home. We also want to thank the families of servicemen and women who have spent holidays without their loved ones for our freedom.

Please share with us your fondest Memorial Day memories and photos on our Facebook page. The first 25 will receive a coupon good for 10% off your entire Iron Accents purchase now through May 31, 2012.

Have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend!

It’s simply an oversight, for the most part. An outdoor wedding, whether understated or outrageous, counts on the venue to be the star player - be it the beach or the backyard - but what happens after the sun goes down? Some of the best moments of the event can get lost without strategically placed pools of twinkling light. 

Put a healthy glow on the faces of guests with table centerpieces incorporating a few of our ever elegant lighted branches and florals. Each sprig is constructed of heavy duty bendable, shapeable wire and the light tips range from subdued to sensational. Small battery packs power the petals and slip right into a vase or vessel where cords just can’t go. They’re versatile beauties have no rival save that of the stars in the night sky and the bride’s engagement ring!



Candles, the more traditional approach to evening illumination, have clearly stepped into the future with Luminara. This delicately scented wax candle combines LED brilliance with electro- magnetic technology that perfectly replicates a flickering flame. What’s more, two re-chargeable D batteries stoke the fire- free Luminara candles to over 250 hours of safe and beautiful ambiance. And did we mention that they come with a remote control and 24 hour timer? RSVP to the video under Lighting on our website.


Bathe the entire garden in soft light with our collection of lanterns and torches. The delightful lantern designs supply high and low light in standing, hanging, tabletop and staked options with a broad variety of match-the-party-mood styles. Go for baroque…or bear…or burlap. Oil burning torches create efficient parking and perimeter guides as guests arrive and depart.  Outdoor lamps blur the lines between inside and indelible memories in rooms not under roof.



Give the serving tables luminescence with light strings arranged under gossamer fabric. Create a magical path or entry way with lighted branches and strings tucked into an arbor or nearby concentration of trees.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what is known as a game changer. Remember these words: Luminara Flame Replicating Candles.

Why? Because Luminara is an elegant wax candle, infused with a delicate scent, created with a patented technology that combines high intensity LED with an electro-magnetic mechanism that produces a flame movement virtually indistinguishable from the real thing.

No matches required for these safe, carefree and - hold onto your speed dial – indoor and outdoor, take-me-anywhere candles. With two rechargeable D batteries, Luminara provides over 250 hours of impossibly real fireless flame. Wait. We’re not done. It also boasts a 24 hour timer and a convenient on/off remote control. Crazy fabulous!

Line them up on your porch railings, fill that empty summer fireplace, centerpiece the party tables, surround the pool, highlight your seating arrangements at the sunset concert. One click and instant ambiance reigns. Plus, no harm / no foul if bumped by exuberant children, bandana wearing dogs or flamboyant guests.  In fact, they keep on flickering through breezy evenings, rolling waves and light mist.

Forty two years ago today, a small group of forward thinking people organized a movement hoping to educate citizens about environmental dangers – water and air pollution, toxic waste and the loss of forests and natural habitats. Back then it wasn’t easy to convince people that one simple lifestyle change could help save the planet; over the years the symbolic call to “go green” became a common practice. On April 22nd, over a billion people around the world will repeat the pledge to preserve and protect the initiative that began as Earth Day in 1970.

We’ll renew our membership. Anyone who has ever been in the Iron Accents showroom knows that we have a special affinity for those things that have lived another life – items that have been recycled or reclaimed to serve yet another useful purpose. Our One Of A Kind website section features vintage finds having sought renewal and works by local artists using salvaged materials like ceiling tin and barn wood. These rescued treasures never met the landfill and resonate with a certain history as well as charm.


We also value our alliances with companies that manufacture goods that we sell using sustainable practices, recycled iron, aluminum and glass and the greenest form of energy, manpower. And we proudly point to those partners who have been consciously operating that way nearly as long as Earth Day has been in existence.

Join iron Accents in celebrating the monumental momentum of Earth Day by re-focusing your commitment to the cause wherever you live. Reduce your carbon foot print, support enterprises with ecological routines, plant a tree, turn off a light, use a rain barrel, leave a legacy.
