I used a combination of small and large globes for a super pretty and unique look!

I started with the small globes, they were super easy to weave in and out of the pergola slats

The larger, heavier bulbs hung a bit too low with this method, so I wrapped the cord around the slats to take away some of the slack, and it worked perfectly!

A zip tie keeps the ugly extension cord in place and out of sight!
