Why is wedding reception lighting important?
Lighting is one of the most important things you can do to create a gorgeous reception.
- Showcase those stunning floral arrangements- Warm up a cool room to create flattering skin tones
- Light the center of a table while keeping the guests in candlelight
Think about a favorite restaurant - how is it lit? Look at the lights on the ceiling, the lamps, the candles on the table. Keep this in mind when you are planning your reception. Everyone looks gorgeous in the right light.
A big bonus - your photos will look terrific when you have great light, too. Pick up Vogue or Town & Country Weddings and look at the social pages - the backgrounds look great because somewhere, a terrific lighting designer planned it that way. Keep it beautiful during the cocktail hour and dinner and don’t be afraid to create a great lighting atmosphere on the dance floor later in the evening. Your guests will be impressed with the great look of your whole reception.
Choose a DJ that offers a lightshow with their package and make sure that they do not use cheap, cheesy DJ lighting, keep it sophisticated. The overall look of your reception is imporatnt right from the moment your first guest arrives right up until the end of the night………..make sure it is sophisticated and fun!!
