Lighting is one of the most overlooked components of wedding décor, but the right light can truly make all the difference when it comes to setting the vibe for your big day! Today we are talking about how to create mood, add powerful emphasis to your design elements, and set the stage for stellar wedding photos by simply playing with light!
The impact of light
You have to find what sparks a light in you so that you, in your own way, can illuminate the world. Oprah Winfrey
Mood
Mood lighting is a simple, yet effective way to create an inviting environment for your guests to enjoy. Vary the intensity, type, and placement of light to accommodate the different phases of your event (think ceremony, dinner, and party lighting). Dim the lights for cocktail hour then brighten them a bit for dinner. Play with color, reflections, and shadows to subtly add warmth and interest to your interior and exterior spaces.
Emphasis
Highlight Design Elements
Use light to strategically focus your guests’ attention on design elements that you want to emphasize. Incorporate soft lighting along the aisle of your ceremony site to enhance the romance. Add candlelight to punctuate the beautiful flowers and glassware of your centerpieces. Illuminate your cake table and specialty stations to create added allure.
Spotlight People and Traditions
Use light to emphasize important people and ceremonial elements. Spotlight your first dance, toasts, bouquet and/or garter toss to visually encourage participation in the sentimental moments of your big day.
Photography
Photographers and videographers are skilled professionals when it comes to playing with light. Premium photo ops are bathed in fabulous lighting. Remember that natural light carries a beauty and temperament of its own. Ask your photographer to help you light your event in a way that will ensure photographic success!
RiverStone is equipped to provide state-of-the-art specialty lighting for your event, and we are excited about partnering with you to do so! Contact us today to discuss how we can personalize the perfect atmosphere for your big day!
