Tips for Wedding Lighting
Lighting is a huge underlying element in setting the atmosphere for your wedding. When well planned, it will make every component of your wedding look even more stunning. The way a location is illuminated can take the identical site from standard to picturesque. Here are some bright ideas and tips for wedding lighting:
Work With Your Location
Early in the planning stages of your wedding make a point to visit your site during the time of day you will be having your reception. Note where the fixed lighting is located around the room and the direction of where the light falls. Discover the type of lighting your venue uses and see if you can work with it. For example, if the only source is fluorescent lighting, be sure to think of alternatives to remove this type of unflattering lighting. If the lighting is dominant away from the center of the room, think of lighting techniques to make guests focus on the tables, the dance floor, on you, and each other. Inquire about any lighting and power restrictions, such as the lighting of candles or the installation of portable lighting.
Lighting From the Outside
Outside lighting serves many purposes including ensuring guests can see the steps into the reception hall and to decorate the entrance. Wedding luminaries offer a brightened pathway for guests and look breathtaking against a midnight blue sky. If real candles or fire are not permitted, consider tealights placed in sea animal, snowflake, or classic heart glass candle holders to add flair to the walkway or entrance.
Focal Lights
Create rich looking, lighted centerpieces using 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. Blend transparent tulle with wedding light garlands around your head table to create a dreamy feeling.
Light wedding centerpieces from the bottom up for a bold and beautiful display with LED Base Vase Illuminator Up Lights. They are a great way to highlight the beauty of the vases and the flowers and also give you a romantic backlight to your wedding reception. Our 5" LED Chrome Vase Illuminator is perfect for small to medium size centerpieces. You can have all the lights in the room off and just let your vase centerpieces light the way.
Consider A Lighting Professional
If budget allows, consider hiring a lighting designer to install specialty lighting at your location. This will allow you to add special uplighting to focus on your wedding cake or head table. Your disc jockey may also have lighting equipment to shine textures, colors, or even your monogram on the dance floor.
With a little creativity and thinking, you can make your special day and precious accessories truly shine!

PLANNING THE PERFECT BRIDAL SHOWER
There are countless ideas for throwing bridal shower, so how do you decide? Here are a few ideas that just may inspire. Remember to keep the bride’s favorite hobbies and interests in mind - shopping, pampering, dancing, eating, gambling, etc., and you’re sure to create a fun and memorable celebration!
SEX AND THE CITY COCKTAIL PARTY
Celebrate like the sexy, fun and eccentric New York City gals of Sex and the City. Serve colorful drinks like cosmopolitans and chocolate martinis. Guests must of course dress in fashion-forward attire and be prepared for no-holds barred girl talk.
You could even take your Sex and The City cocktail party to a new level and enjoy a getaway to New York City. Or, how about a weekend at a luxurious spa, complete with mud baths, massages and shopping. For something a little less expensive, enjoy a getaway to a friend’s cottage.
Bridal Shower Favor Ideas:
"Cocktails Anyone?" Martini Glass Gel Candle
So Pretty Miniature Purse Bottle Stoppers in Gift Box
"Lets Celebrate" Champagne Flute Gel Candle
PAJAMA PARTY
Relive the excitement of the slumber parties you loved growing up! Watch your favorite movies, paint each other’s toenails and play truth or dare for old time’s sake. Don’t forget the popcorn and smores and be sure to have muffins and fruit on hand for the next morning. Gifts ideas could include pyjamas the groom would appreciate and favorite chick flicks.
Bridal Shower Favor Ideas:
Pink Polka Flip Flop Five Piece Pedicure Set
TIME TO CELEBRATE!
Guests are assigned an hour of the day and asked to bring something the bride would find useful. At 6 in the morning, for instance, she would be getting ready for work and might appreciate a coffee maker or luxurious bathrobe.
Bridal Shower Favor Ideas:
"It's About Time!" Let's Celebrate - Champagne Bucket Timer
"Love is Brewing" Teapot Timer in Classic Retro Gift Box
TEA PARTY
Add a British flavor to this celebration by hosting a High Tea, ideal if your inviting bride-to-be’s mother and grandmother. Serve a variety of teas, scones and finger sandwiches. Scour thrift shops for old teacups, saucers and teapots. Ask your guests to wear outrageously formal hats.
Bridal Shower Favor Ideas:
POTLUCK DINNER
Include a recipe card with invitations and ask each guest to bring a favorite dish, along with it’s recipe and a gift for the kitchen. Ask them to share something about the recipe – perhaps it was handed down from a grandmother.
