There is no better way to add a little drama to your wedding reception than by incorporating up-lighting. Essentially, up-lighting involves placing special light fixtures on the ground and focusing them upward. This method of lighting is one of the simplest ways to enhance the look of a wedding venue. It is relatively inexpensive and you can cut back on other décor given that lighting can make such an enormous impact.

Lighting really creates a mood, whether is sultry and sexy, sophisticated and elegant, or intimate and warm. The colors you choose and the glow that they project can make the so many aspects appear more glamorous including your linens, your flowers, and even your skin.

For the same price as a few centerpieces, you can transform a basic room into something amazing and unforgettable. Lighting designers have the capabilities of incorporating your monogram or wedding theme, highlighting specific areas, and changing tones throughout the evening to set different atmosphere. Lighting is an easy way (and my favorite!) to achieve a fabulous look for less!
