Adding lighting to your wedding is much more than just adding candles to your tables.
Ambient lighting is about creating a mood, an atmosphere and evoking emotion from your guests.
One of the basic lighting principles ‘uplighting’ is a creative solution to add additional atmosphere to your wedding day decor design.
Uplighting is simply adding light from the floor, splashed ‘up’ a wall around the perimeter of the room. How many lights, what type of lights fixtures, what colors and what electrical requirements you need, make uplighting an element that requires skillful planning and design!
