We LOVE to infuse weddings and events with stunning flowers – it’s what we’re about. Coming up with the perfect centerpiece design concept to meet a bride’s vision is part of the whole process that we completely get excited about – and the more flowers involved – the better! However, (hear the brakes screeching), if you walk into a dark barrel room at the most beautiful winery and can’t even see the tabletops – it won’t matter how much design time or how many intricate details are involved – you won’t see it.
Lighting can create ambiance and set the mood for sure, but more important to us, as your floral stylist, is that a great lighting company can pin spot light each table to show off your vision. We love to sit down with the lighting designer and work out a lighting plan with high visual impact that will be an image, etched in your memory for the rest of your life. This is about that WOW moment when you first walk in the room and see how incredible it looks – in the dark, there’s simply nothing to see. Recently, in part due to the state of many wedding budgets, we’ve even noticed that even simple centerpieces vastly benefit from some lighting.
Truly, this element of light can make the biggest visual impact out of anything that you do for your reception. Of course there are, what I consider bonus elements that can really create a fun and upscale feeling to your event. Up lighting, dance floor washes and special effect lighting can each play a part in transforming a room from nice – to ridiculously awesome! In June, we worked with the lighting team over at Kramer Entertainment DJ’s & Event Lighting to enlighten a wedding reception in the Chai Barrel Room at the beautiful Meridian Vineyards. Definitely one of our favorite wedding venues, we coordinated concepts with Zach, the lighting designer at Kramer Entertainment & Lighting and Laura at TOS Events, to create a beautiful and cohesive presentation. Below are some great photos from Jill Hewston at Allyson Magda Photography. These images represent what a great team of professionals can bring to your wedding day.
