LED mood lighting

How do you set the mood for your evening… lighting. You have your venue and you look around and see everything brightly illumimnated. This is perfect for a business seminar not your wedding. Let’s start with how lighting affects your guests. Now think of an evening at the theatre… dimly lit seating with focused lights illuminating the set and actors drawing your attention to the performance on stage. Back to your wedding… as your friends and family enter… a wash of color softens the walls immediately signaling a change… pinspots illuminate your centerpieces drawing their eyes up and away from the multicolored carpet… a custom monogram projected catches their gaze and they know they have arrived… looking forward to an amazing experience celebrating your first evening as husband and wife. This will only be accomplished if done properly… with equipment and placement. Having a few lights here and there is money better spent elsewhere… no one enjoys a watered down drink. Achieving the look is quality of equipment and strategic placement… to be experienced and appreciated during and after in your photos. A properly lit room will glow in your photos.

Linens are the canvas for your tablescape… offering a blank surface to each layer upon layer adding detail and texture. The first brush stoke is your color selection of a base linen… a bold splash of color in which to build upon… draping over your table flowing to the floor. With a firm grasp of your brush… an overlay refines your color and visually enhances the senses as the changing light reveals subtle nuances of texture. Place settings offer another layer to express your individual style. Pick up your brush… this time with a gentle stroke… a napkin crowns the setting… waking up the vibrance of the base color. As you continue to reveal your savoir-faire… the final brush stroke emerges… a chair cover exalts the tablescape and eagerly awaits the floral centerpiece…

First decide on your overall floral décor budget. Sharing this with us helps put your dollars where they will show. This opens up communication between us and ensures we are listening to your needs. Knowing exactly how much you can spend also allows us to tailor a design which offers you the best bang for your buck. To make a bold statement It is best to stick with one or two colors for the floral. Your wedding’s overall design can never go wrong with a clean classic look. Today’s trend is a return to classic elegance. Floral décor wedding trends include glass containers and groups of flowers. Your bridal bouquet will be in most of your pictures… don’t skimp. Ceremony flowers are important… you will notice them in your wedding photo album. Always put your dollars where they show. Floral décor touches will enhance the already beautiful venue.  Candles will add romance to any centerpiece… more to come.
