Let there be Light...Design.

Brides don't always consider lighting design for their wedding, but it can make a huge difference!    Lighting creates a mood or ambiance and makes everything look better- your cake, floral arrangements, centerpieces, and your venue.

If you do decide to hire a lighting design company or lighting technician here is some lingo you need to know:

Pin-spotting- A focussed beam of light usually placed onto a centerpiece or floral arrangement

Gobo- A stencil fitted over the light that creates shape and effects- you can have these made to project your monogram!

Wash- An even colored light over a space

LED- Stands for light emitting diode.  This type of light uses low power which means they are much better for the environment that traditional lights.  

Uplighting- A blanket of color that is washed up the walls to change the tone of the room.  

Will you consider hiring someone to light up your wedding?  Let us know what you think!
