Lighting

Lighting bears a huge importance in the way the entire ambiance is constructed within your special event. And yet, before you make any kind of choice, you will first want to make sure you understand the differences between different types of lighting.

For example, what do you know about the different types of chandeliers? If you are curious to learn more about this, read on and find out more.

• Classic chandeliers are torn out of fairytales, and can definitely add that out-of-this-world appeal you love so much. Elegant, timeless, royal, and really stunning, classic chandeliers will hang from your ballroom ceilings like jewelries – and they will make your décor look truly magnificent. And if you want to use classic chandeliers in a less formal way, you can definitely do that too – but you will have to make sure to balance things out and combine the elegance and luxury of the chandeliers with more informal, casual elements.

• Geometric chandeliers. Inspired by the classic “siblings”, but really more modern, geometric chandeliers are perfect for those of you who want an elegant visual in a contemporary context. Hang them from a museum room, or from an unconventional urban location to add a dash of stylishness and uniqueness to your entire event. Hang them from a vintage ballroom to create an unforgettable Roaring Twenties/ Art Nouveau appeal. And even hang them at your backyard to make things more special, more eclectic, and more non-conformist.

• Edison light bulb chandeliers. Unique and creative, Edison light bulb chandeliers are lighting fixtures that make you think really outside of the box. They are absolutely perfect for an event in another country setting, precisely because they add that “DIY” and “old-school” vibe. Plus, this type of chandeliers will offer a versatility you will absolutely love. Think creatively and you will definitely come up with something genuinely original with these chandeliers!

Of course, these are just some of the types of chandeliers out there. These days, there’s something for just about anyone – and the freedom of creativity you have will definitely stimulate you to create a truly special atmosphere. Don’t be afraid to be different – this is your event and it should reflect you and your personality!

As the bride and groom, you want your wedding to be perfect from all points of view – and the lighting you choose can be extremely important. What are the new lighting technologies you might want to consider for your Big Day’s décor? We have gathered some suggestions right below – so read on and find out more to inspire yourself.

• Video mapping. This is one of the most impressive and magnificent recent additions to the wedding lighting world. Basically, this new and mesmerizing technology will display animations on the elements of your choice. It may be your dress, the walls of your wedding reception venue, or even your wedding cake – as long as it’s plain (and preferably white), your chosen animations will look absolutely breathtaking when “mapped”.
• LED lighting. Not necessarily very new, but more than definitely noteworthy, LED lights have grown to be hugely popular among brides and grooms. There’s something about their versatility, resilience, and affordable price that makes LED lights really stand out and still be one of the most highly-appreciated choices among brides and grooms. Ideal for a modern and elegant wedding and for couples who need just a bit of extra personalization for their wedding venue!
• Gobo lighting. Also very popular, Gobo lights are excellent for those of you who want to add a dash of uniqueness to the wedding décor. Even the simplest venue can be transformed when you project arabesque patterns or even your wedding monogram on the wall!
• Up Lighting. This type of lighting is quite widely spread as well – and not without reason. Up Lighting can instantly transform a space, making it more intimate, more personal and more colorful. Choose it if you want to add accents of color in different parts of the room – it will look magically beautiful!
• Going back to the basics. Definitely not new, basic lighting options that remind people of a non-technological past are in high fashion too. What is not to love about fairy lights, cute paper lanterns, and candlelight? Perfect for outdoor summer weddings where “whimsical”, “playfulness” and “fairytale” meet with the modern event!

No matter what wedding lighting options you may choose, one thing will always be important: only settle on wedding décor elements that truly represent you, not the latest glossy magazine trends. You only get married once, so make this your Big Day in the fullest sense of the word!
