Luxury weddings are defined by many different elements, from elaborate entrances and sumptuous menus to gorgeous dance floors. One of the most significant aspects of a luxury wedding, however, is the specialty lighting that is used to create the perfect atmosphere to showcase all of the beautiful details of the night.

What better way to make a point than by having a dramatic entrance for your wedding? Whether you want to use votives to spice up the space, or columns adorned with the brightest of lights, lighting has a profound impact on the success of your wedding.

Uplighting is another lighting style that is great for creating a soft flow in a couple’s color (or colors!) of choice. It can be used either to match or to contrast with the event’s color palette. Regardless, up lighting can have a major effect by filling a large space with color and light.

Looking for a little more? Upgrade your optics by incorporating reflective pieces, such as mirrors and crystals. For a more dramatic effect, chandeliers continue to be the top choice for couples thinking on a grander scale. These days, however, they are no longer relegated to ballrooms. As long as you have the right team in place, you can find them anywhere – from the trees lining a property to inside a tent.

For a romantic feel, candles are a timeless touch that will always exude luxury. With glamorous events, you will surely want to go big – lining staircases, pairing with florals and elevating over tables are all fabulous ways to make the most of candles (and lots of them).

Candles are also perfect for creating flow within a space. An open-concept floor plan can easily be created to have different areas with walls constructed to hold candles. In fact, this is a great way to create different and unique scenes for guests to enjoy. You can have candle walls that will guide them to their next “stop,” so that they can enjoy an entirely new scene.
