 The most important on the wedding are probably the wedding dress, the cake top, the favors, the flowers, the decorations, and, of course, the lighting. Lighting is a very valuable underlying element in creating the atmosphere for the wedding. If it is organized smart, every component of your wedding will look even more stunning. The lighting is a factor that can turn a location from standard into picturesque.
Work With Your Location
Visit the place of your wedding reception before the day of you wedding. Note the placing of the fixed lighting and its direction (where the light falls). Discover the type of lighting available and the possible variants to make it better. For example, if the only source is fluorescent lighting, think of alternatives. If the luminosity is dominant away from the center of the room think of lighting techniques to make guests focus on the objects you want: the tables, the dance floor, you, and each other. Ask beforehand, if you can use candles or install the portable lighting.
The Color of Light
Lighting always has color. Even though light can look white, it always has a color temperature ranging from yellowish orange to violet blue depending on the source. Warm golden tint are conducted by lamps, candles, or fire. Battery operated lights and electrical lights deliver cool blue tints. Light with magenta and rose tones brings warmth into room atmosphere. Cool lighting seems brighter and directly contributes to a contemporary atmosphere.
Outside Lighting
Decorated entrance can add special mystery into the atmosphere. If real candles or fire are not permitted, consider pseudo tealights placed in sea animal, snowflake, or classic heart glass candle holders to add flair to the walkway or entrance.
Focal Light
Combine transparent mediums with non-traditional lighting for rich looking, lighted centerpieces. Use mystic crystals with miniature diamond lights to create an icy, sparkling base for floral arrangements. For a more traditional and warm focal point, arrange varied sizes of pillar candles and embellish the bases with foliage of your choice. For an updated look try using square pillar candles. Blend transparent tulle with wedding light garlands around your head table to create a dreamy feeling.
A Lighting Professional
If it is acceptably (money allows), you can hire a lighting designer that will advice how it is possible to concentrate attention on one objects and reduce on another and make the atmosphere more lovely, closely, friendly. An interesting idea is to provide your music with dynamic lighting: shining textures, colors, or even your monogram on the dance floor.
