You would want everything perfect, spectacular and trendy for your wedding day. As you get ready to make arrangements and search for wedding vendors, take a look at the top lighting trends that are in vogue this wedding season. These ideas will help you to add an additional charm to your wedding with something as essential and basic as lighting.
LED Lighting
The Light-emitting-diode (LED) is the hottest thing nowadays. They consume less energy and are subtle for lighting up any sort of space. They emit less heat and are available in battery operated form as well that lasts for 10 hours. The battery operated ones can be used to light up tables and corners where you do not want wires hanging loose.
With LED lights you can create some interesting effects and illusions. Having a flower decoration on the centre of the tables with subtle lights flickering through it would not only bring out the beauty of the flowers, but also make the sight so pleasing to the eyes even when looked at from a distance.
Lanterns and Diyas
While lights may be associated more with evening and night time weddings, what goes for both morning and evening set ups are lanterns and diyas.
Although there are lanterns available that have LEDs in them, having real burning lanterns or floating diyas and candles in earthen pots filled with water and flower petals would look absolutely dreamy too! If it is a morning wedding in an open space; hanging fancy lanterns on tree branches or keeping them on tables would add vibrancy and ethnic touch to your setup.
Drapes and Lights
For indoor or outdoor weddings, night or day; some pastel colour drapes of your choice in slightly translucent fabrics with small light-threads wrapped in them would give a mafincient and glowing effect to your wedding decor. If you don’t want lights wrapped in the drapes, then you can use pin spot colour lights that are aimed at the drapes. This would create interesting hues and shades.
You can customise the fabric and light colours to match your wedding theme. Like if you have a pink and cream shade theme, you can use white or yellow lights. You might have to work a little to the get right kind of lights and drapes together, but once you see the synchronised effect, it is all going to be worth it.
Gold and White Combination
Well, when you talk about classic wedding colours then there is nothing more stylish than red, gold and white. These three colours give a traditional feel to your wedding. Gold and white lighting scheme is absolutely perfect to match any wedding theme.
Make it either dim or brighten it up, this lighting combination would always look stunning for anything from simple affair to a royal wedding theme.
Projections and Patterns
What is also in vogue is to use patterned projections on plain drapes that give out enough light to brighten up the place as well as provide you with stunning backgrounds.
You could also have your names or initials projected on one of the central walls attracting everyone’s attention to it in place of the passé boards saying who weds whom. Also, you can project a slideshow of your and your sweetheart’s photos at the venue.
We hope that your wedding becomes an unforgettable and sweet memory for not just you two but for your guests as well. And, your marriage is forever as bright and beautiful as is the sight of beautiful lighting setup at your wedding!
