Event Lighting

Are you faced with a bland ballroom? Besides adding flowers to the n'th degree, there aren't many options for jazzing up a ballroom. Here is one of my best suggestions, and usually one of the least expensive: Uplights! You can rent them in the Atlanta area for about $40 a piece, have your coordinator set them up for you, and they can really spice up a room!

Lighting is available in all different colors, above you can see reds, below blue, but they also carry greens, yellows, pinks, oranges, purples, and just white. Hopefully you can find something that will work for you and your event space!

When picking out your lighting, be sure to consider how it will look on the walls. If there is a choice of two color reds, and you have yellow walls, go for the deeper red if you want red, otherwise, you might get orange!

You can also get fun shapes! They add a lot of texture to the ballrooms, and can really make a tent stand out! I suggest borrowing the light for a short period of time to try it out in the room to see if you like it. Also see if you can borrow a few different color screens to see what works for you space!

Tented Weddings

At times, there is a misconception about tented weddings, and I just wanted to show you how great they can be. With the ceiling draped in white fabric, you can rent lights to give it even more texture and it can be absolutely stunning!

Sure, you've got to worry about the weather just a bit, but with sides on the tents that look like large windows, it probably isn't too huge of a deal. And those sides don't have to be down unless it starts raining, otherwise you get a wide open feel that many people look for. What also adds to the open feel is the fact that you have such high ceilings and that you can do so much to tem! Another thing that you can do to the ceilings is have paper lanterns hang. They give it depth and can be truly beautiful while bringing in the colors of your wedding.

A Friday Double Blog Dose!

I just had to share this wonderful vendor with you before the end of the week. Recently, I had the pleaseure of meeting Tamara of I Do Linens. She introduced me to one of her new products and I've fallen in love!

She's got this new concept of making the cake table mirror the design of the bride's dress. Then after the wedding, she will turn it into a baby blanket for the bride and groom. I just had to share this quickly before the weekend begins. I hope you'll have a chance to check out her website and get in touch with her!
