Wedding Decorations: Creative Wedding Lighting Ideas

When it comes to wedding decorations, nothing transforms the space quite like proper lighting. String lights, lanterns, candles, and colored bulbs all have a big influence on the atmosphere of your big day. They help to create the right ambiance and add warmth to the celebration. Given below are some ideas to illuminate your reception in a creative way.

Wedding Lighting: Bring warmth with candles

Candlelight is a great way to bring magical warmth to any occasion. Place colorful votives all over the place for a welcoming glow. Also, line the aisle and vow area with well-made enclosed lanterns. Make sure to avoid low, open flames anywhere where guests may be.

We love these 68 candle centerpiece ideas from Martha Stewart Weddings.

DIY wedding ideas

How about some DIY lighting to give your wedding a custom look? For instance, monogram lighting is an interesting way to personalize your big day. Just put your names and wedding date in the lights and shine it behind the cake or head table for a beautiful backdrop. Alternatively, use uplighting to change the mood of the room and lend your reception a wow factor.

Take a look at these lighting design ideas from DIY Network.

Consider your wedding theme for lighting

Whether you are a rustic, country, or an elegant bride, make sure to choose the lighting that will complement your wedding theme. For instance for a vintage themed wedding, simple white or ivory chandeliers hung low would do the trick. Whereas, if yours is a rustic wedding, ribbons clustered together with festoon lights will help to create an atmosphere of fun and warmth.

Wedding Planning: Use the right color

Colored lighting is a great way to turn a plain venue into a beautiful, picturesque reception. But make sure to think outside your wedding palette when selecting colored lights. If you have used sage throughout the decor, stay away from green lighting or it might get too much of green. Consider colors that complement all skin tones such as soft pink or magenta.

Make lighting a part of your wedding decorations

When selecting the lighting, keep in mind that it not only contributes to the overall atmosphere, but also doubles up as a decor. For instance, a cluster of chic chandeliers apart from brightening the tables, also serve as an elegant overhang. So, there is no need to spend a lot of money on wedding flowers and other decorations when you can kill two birds with one stone!

When it comes to transforming an ordinary space into something extraordinary, illumination is everything. So, make sure to choose the right lighting that will carry out your personal style and create an unforgettable ambiance.
