When it comes to your special day, there are so many things to plan for. A lot of the time, it is probably overwhelming to think of all of the preparations for your Wedding. One of the things that people don’t realize is how important lighting is for an event, not only weddings, but any special event that you want your guests to remember. Lighting is so versatile and there are so many different options to choose from. If you are having an outdoor wedding, you may want to think about using string lights or lanterns for a subtle glow to the night. For an indoor reception,uplighting with LED lights is an extremely popular option because it can transform any dull room into a work of art. If you use intelligent LED lighting, you will have the option of changing the color of your lighting throughout your reception. For example, you can have a nice subtle color for dinner, and a more lively color for the dancing portion of the night!

For any event, especially a Wedding, you want to have pictures to remember your special day/night. Having good lighting at your wedding enhances your pictures, making everything look more vibrant and alive! Also, the lighting can be used to direct people to focus on certain areas throughout the night; for instance, when the time comes to cut your cake, you can have a direct pinspot focused on you and your significant other to capture everyone’s attention. There are so many ways that you can implement décor lighting into your event, whether it is inside or outside.
