Light up your wedding

• Setting the mood is one of the most important parts of the day.  Lighting will help create this mood.  A soft glow creates a warm environment that literally brightens people.
• Avoid placing lights in spots where they can harshly glare on your guests.  No guest wants to be blinded or put in the wrong light.
• Rose and amber hues are flattering to everyone and should be used around your ceremony and reception venues.  Although, using white lights to accent your floral centerpieces is very important.  This will allow for the true color of the flowers to show.
• Many people put out a lot of candles.  Using too many can make your room overly bright.  Use candles sparingly.
• Have table lamps and overhead lights on dimmers so you can adjust their intensity to your liking.  If the venue is serving as both the ceremony and reception site, dimming the lights for the reception can create a completely different mood.
• Always make the room a bit darker than you think it should be, but allowing yourself to still be able to see your feet!  Low lights create a sexy vibe and allows you to disguise features in the venue that may not fit your theme or style.
