You planned the big day with your wedding planner. Together you have tasted the food, hired the wedding entertainment, and visited the location. Perfect, what's next? Did you know that lighting design is one of the most cost-effective ways to accent your important elements? Picture a room that matches with your favourite color or even the colour of your bridesmaid's dresses. You can dance inside a personalized name monogram, have dramatic colour washes on your ceiling, or pin spot your centrepieces. Most couples do not know about the benefits of lightning design when structuring their reception budget. This service can only be provided at a reasonable price by a handful of reputable vendors. You might not prefer a light show at your wedding, which is perfectly normal. It wouldn't be appropriate for your room to change colour every two seconds. That is why most professionals recommend a choice of static colours and patterns. For example, you can even choose to break up patterns.
These are images like tree branches or wispy designs that make for an elegant backdrop in your photos. You have the choice of a primary and secondary colour to highlight. Your guests will remember your wedding day. Most importantly, you will say "wow" when you see your room for the first time. You should be able to openly discuss how you want to light up your event. It is important to take the vendor's recommendations seriously. When you communicate your expectations, they can deliver based on their limitations. Not every venue has the same architectural layout. Some halls have vaulted ceilings, while others have dark wood panelling. These and many other factors will greatly impact the approach your lighting designer takes. There are several kinds of fixtures that accomplish different things. PARs are used for longer concentrated throws, pallets have a wider beam angle, and strips fit somewhere in the middle. If your walls are a darker wood, then pipe and drape with strips might be your only option. Pallets and soft edge intelligent lights help with evenly distributing colour saturation across vaulted ceilings. These lights are made specifically for the guests of honour. You choose several designs and pick the one that you like the best. A custom gobo will then be made to display your name during the reception. You have the choice of having your name monogram projected on the wall or dance floor. How cool would it be to dance inside your name? Name lights give a very personalized feel to your event and they are also very affordable.
Since the gobo is custom fabricated out of steel, you can even take it home at the end of the night as a personal memento. You spent time and money on your centrepieces, how will you ensure guests really take notice of your hard work? Make your centrepieces seem larger than life with table pin spotting. These fixtures are small and hidden along the edges of the walls. A circular beam is aimed at the center of your tables from above, making your centrepieces come alive. Just like a custom name light, table pin spotting can easily be worked into any room lighting package. Lighting design will have a huge impact on the outcome of your wedding reception. Your guests will give you tons of compliments and you will be happy with your decision. Lighting solutions give you the biggest bang for your buck, so it is money well spent. There are only a few reputable vendors that offer lighting service. So you should view sample work from previous events before signing a contract with a company. When talking to a lighting artist realize that their price is based on two main factors a technician fee and fixture fee. You need to ask what is included in the final price since it might not reflect travel expenses or design costs. If you've seen lighting at a wedding reception, you will realize it is a no-brainer.
