4 gorgeous ways to use lighting to create the perfect wedding reception atmosphere

Up-Cycled Installations

Make use of what you can scrounge to save on total wedding costs by up-cycling. You can often find timber materials or building scraps such as window frames & fixtures for a good price to use as your base material. Work with lighting companies or do a bit of research to make it your own DIY project to get lights installed along your rustic frame. The end result (if done well) should be a beautiful light up piece of art that can be hung behind your bridal table for a glowing backdrop.

White Neon

Forget the classic 1980’s nightclub neons (unless you’re going for that theme) and picture subtle a subtle white glow illuminating your backdrops and styling. This look works perfectly with all-white crisp styling, or against a rustic/natural backdrop such as exposed brick walls, or dark outdoor timber frames.

Bulbed Canopies

It’s a classic look but it classic for a reason. Ageless and warming, creating a canopy with stringed bulb lights is a perfect way to create an ambient atmosphere for any reception, indoor or outdoor. Combine the look with candles for a multileveled and natural look. A perfect addition to anyone looking to pursue the Instagram and Pinterest inspired loose bohemian wedding style.

Entangle Plants

We can’t get enough of plants, no one can. Perfect in the day for a natural greenhouse inspired weddings and can come alive at night with the right lighting. Use small lights surrounding various plants or plant installations to create an illuminated jungle at your reception. The key is to use the lights to highlight the plants, so keep it warm and keep it subtle. Correctly placed lights will create beautiful shadows that bounce off the leaves while still providing you with enough light to create the right atmosphere.
