Wedding Lighting
A wedding is a special occasion in anybody's life. It is up to you to make the best of it. You can make the best out of your wedding by including your own creative ideas in lighting, gifting, dressing, and any other related activities. Wedding lighting is one thing where you can pay more attention. A whole space or a wedding venue can look magical with the right lighting. You can transform the ambience by adding candles, lanterns, colored lights or colored bulbs; all this adds warmth to the ambience.

Hire a professional
It is better to take the help of a lighting designer. A professional will first check the venue and suggest décor ideas that are in sync with the space and the rest of your wedding designs. Your designer will ensure you have a plan and that it includes programs to transition moods over the course of the evening seamlessly. The designer will also work in tandem with others like your florist, photographer to set the best lighting. You can also suggest your own ideas to the designer and see if they can be implemented.

Use combination treatments
Adhering to a single treatment may not be a good idea. Using combination treatments is better. Decide what kind of light you want to light up the venue. Do you want to use pin spot lighting, wherein a single beam of light focuses on an object or a centerpiece. Do you want to use gobos? Gobos are circular stencils used to project a design in light. Do you prefer LED lights as they don't consume much electricity? You also need to consider other factors like accessories. Do you want candles? Where and how should you place them?

Play with color
Color is necessary to make an ambience look awesome. Everybody looks good in soft rose light. Similarly other shades like amber and magenta flatter most skin tones. Avoid green as it will not suit anybody's skin tone. So you use all colors except green.
Include the exterior part of your venue
Does your wedding venue have a courtyard where guests will be walking around? Look around the venue and see what needs to be adorned. Can you hang lights on a winding tree? Can you decorate stairs with streamers? For open spaces, you can use lanterns, glass orbs filled with candles or globe lights. The trick is to make your space look visually appealing without going overboard. It is a good idea to make your venue as cozy as possible so that your guests feel at home even after dark.
