Tips on Choosing the Right Wedding Lighting

If you’re planning on having a formal wedding, you may be wondering whether you should hire wedding lighting for your reception. This article will give you some ideas on the pros and cons of wedding lighting as well as advice on how to choose the right one for your big day!

So, how exactly do you crack the wedding lighting jargon? Well, so many words have been bandied about that it’s become impossible for someone not familiar with lighting concepts to explain them. Just in case you’re still wondering, let’s start with lighting fixtures. It would be best to start with a basic set and work upwards as your needs and your budget will dictate.

Wedding lighting comes in many forms – chandeliers, spotlights, pendants and many more. Some of them can be very expensive to buy and some of them are so basic that you can even build them yourself! As well as style, they can also be made from many different materials.

One important thing to keep in mind when looking at the different types of wedding lighting is the type of wedding you’re having. If you’re having a beach wedding, which often has a lot of candles, then you’re going to want to go for a type of lighting that’s very romantic but is also safe to use.

On the other hand, if you’re having a formal wedding, then you should go for a more sober look – using more white, with perhaps some decorative lighting fixtures placed strategically around the venue. In terms of your budget, this type of lighting should fit into your budget well as the cost of a wedding is going to be spread over a lot of smaller pieces. You may find it’s difficult to pick out the right lights depending on the style and theme of your reception, so it’s a good idea to ask for help!

In terms of the wedding theme, there are so many different options available. From classical, to floral, to a fairy tale wedding, there’s literally hundreds of options to choose from. The only rule to remember is to make sure that the lighting will compliment the overall look of the wedding venue.

When picking out your wedding lighting, it’s also important to consider other factors such as the budget, the time of year, the season, your personal taste, and the size of your guests. Depending on the amount of light you need, you should always be able to find the perfect match – just make sure that you think about the following before you make your final decision.

For example, it’s very important to choose a light that’s easy to install – a chandelier or table-style light is great if you need a lot of natural light throughout the room. On the other hand, if your reception will be held in a small space, then a smaller, more intimate pendant would be ideal. Or if your reception is more formal, then a chandelier would not be the best choice as you’ll probably be using lots of artificial lighting.
