Event Lighting - Wedding Lighting Ideas - Wedding Reception Lighting

Jan. 21, 2011 - PRLog -- We've all seen "Platinum Weddings" and "My Fair Wedding" with David Tutera.  The wedding receptions that are captured for these TV shows are stunning.   Although you may not have the $300,000 wedding budgets that these shows portray, you can still make your reception amazing with the use of lighting.

There are a few things to consider when lighting your wedding reception venue.    Lighting can be broken down into a couple key elements.   First, you have the uplighting or wall wash.   Think of that as the background of a photo.  Then, you have your monogram gobo projection or "name in lights".  Then there are pin spots to highlight key elements like table centerpieces, your wedding cake or your sweetheart table.  You top it all off with a dance floor or ceiling wash and patterned or "texture" lighting.

By using each of these elements, you keep the room well lit and eliminate dark areas in your reception hall.  With lighting you can choose to keep your lighting static (or unchanged) throughout the event or for a little more money can have your lighting shift over time to different color settings.  Maybe it's teal for dinner, red for dancing and amber for cocktail hour.

You can turn an otherwise boring reception hall into an amazing display of light and color to help accentuate your wedding color scheme.  You can make your wedding color pallet come to life.  Having Red Flowers?  Use the complimentary color – green or light green on the walls to make them pop.  Bridesmaids dresses are eggplant?  Use a lighter lavender on the wall to give them more of a 3rd dimension as the bridal party enters.  Ugly wall in your facility?  You can paint the wall any color you like with up-lighting

There are many wedding reception lighting ideas that we can talk about.  Using a custom gobo light pattern or “your name in lights”, you can personalize your wedding with your initials, name or wedding date.  You can dress up your wedding cake by focusing a wedding gobo on the wall.  You can place your name in lights on the dance floor or wall above your head table

You can highlight architectural features with event lighting using LED up-lighting fixtures or conventional par cans as your uplights.  Using event lighting at your wedding, you can make columns stand out, fireplaces come alive, lounge areas take on a new feel, dead space becomes artwork, your wedding cake is backlit.  Lighting can completely transform your wedding reception.
