How to Use Lighting to Transform Your Wedding or Event
Make Lighting Your Statement Piece
Why stop at a chandelier when you can create a moment?
Oversized pendants, glowing floral clouds, or LED arches can double as both décor and drama.
We love designing sculptural lighting installs that instantly become the seasons hottest trend.
Pro tip: Position statement lighting in high-impact areas like the bar, dancefloor, or ceremony altar.
These are the spots your guests will flock to, and lighting ensures they look (and feel) incredible in every snap.
Our pro tips:
Set the Mood With Layers
Lighting is about atmosphere. Think of your event like a story:
Arrival glow: Soft, flattering lighting to welcome guests and set the tone.
Dining vibe: Warm, moody lights to encourage connection.
Party energy: Bold, colourful lighting that screams, let’s dance.
Layering ensures your event flows effortlessly, with each moment feeling intentional and immersive.
Play With Shadows and Drama
Flat lighting = flat experience. Instead, mix it up: spotlight dramatic floral installs, wash textured walls in colour, or create a moody tunnel effect (our fav for entrances). The contrast between light and shadow adds dimension and keeps your space dynamic all night long.
Highlight the Heroes
You’re spending big on florals, styling, and design elements, make sure they shine (literally). From sculptural blooms to custom staging, well-placed lighting transforms your hero pieces into unforgettable features. We’re talking glowing orchids, mirrored plinths that catch the light, and tablescapes that sparkle under candlelit reflections.
Lighting = Luxury Without Limits
The best part? Lighting gives you big wow-factor without necessarily blowing the budget. You can keep your floral focus tight and let lighting build the drama across the room. Done right, it elevates everything: the mood, the photos, AND the guest experience.
