TRENDSPOTTER: Light Up Your Wedding

Uplighting is the art of painting with light to create a truly magical background for the most beautiful and well-planned days of your lives together as a couple.

Lighting brings your wedding, dresses, flowers, and emotions to life and creates an inviting entertaining space. Whether over-the top and shockingly glamourous or just simple mood-setting lighting, this important feature of the wedding is not to be overlooked.

The secret lies in the type of lighting, where it is placed, and how it is used to enhance the already gorgeous aspects of your wedding. To transform the energy of the room during the night, one can use intelligent lighting - a customized assortment of lights that oscillate throughout the night. One can use an "exciting" palette of reds, oranges and bright golds to energize the guests throughout the evening, or a serene "in-between-courses" palette of blue and plum shades that soothe and calm the guests and encourage conversation.


























Flattering Hues
Flattering honey and amber tones allow you can your guests to look their best. Warm colors highlight decor beautifully. Shades of pink are also complimentary and can be used to undertone
and create an atmosphere of warmth and comfort.


Pinspotting
To accentuate centerpieces and food displays one may use a technique called pinspotting to tightly focus light and make decorative touches shine. A "Gobo" light can be employed to wash the walls with a favorite poem, inspirational writing, or a pretty pattern.

One rule to always follow: the powder room should be enhanced with pink lights. Every woman - especially the bride - should feel her best.

Lighting can turn a boring room with plain walls into a unique and colorful venue. It can make a room completely colorful and if coordinated well in advance, color schemes can bring out the colors of your party.
