Show-Stopping Lighting Designs to Wow Your Wedding Guests
There are many different types of wedding decor to consider during the planning process, whether it’s centerpieces, flowers, table linens, signage, the wedding arch, etc. But, there is one design component that has the power to completely transform the look and feel of any venue, and in honor of World Design Day, we wanted to highlight this often overlooked design element: lighting.
Lighting can set the mood for the reception or add a unique touch to your ceremony. It can even be functional by helping to highlight key elements such as the bar or by lining walkways for your guests’ safety. When properly designed and set up by the experts, lighting can add a touch of magic to your wedding and makes for exquisite photographs.
Santa Barbara Wedding Style’s event lighting vendors help to do just that and provide you with all the options you need to create the wedding you’ve been envisioning. Ambient Event Design, SPARK Creative Events, Islay Events, and Bella Vista Designs all work with you to create a truly personalized event and have extensive experience in both design and technical services.
Here are a couple different ways these talented vendors can help you add a special touch to your wedding day through lighting:
String Lighting and Twinkle Lights - Light up your entire ceremony or reception with draped string lights. Or, include twinkling lights around trees, your reception tent, or other venue elements.
Highlight Or Accent Lighting - Add pinspot lights to highlight your centerpieces or use accent lighting to call attention to areas such as buffet stations, the bar, or exits.
Stage and Dance Floor Lighting - If your wedding will include a live band or DJ, stage and dance floor lighting is essential and lighting such as beams can even give it your event a concert-like feel.
Uplighting - Add a touch of color to your event with uplighting on a blank wall, or foliage for an outdoor reception.
Special Effect or Pattern Lighting - Pattern projections, LED lights, custom monograms, or even a lit up disco ball all create a fun and unique surprise.
Lanterns or Chandeliers - These can be added to either the reception or ceremony for a romantic and elegant ambiance. Lanterns can be hung or can even be set on tables or on the ground for your event - to light up a pathway for example.
