We are all about the wedding details—cakes, flowers, monogrammed invites, and more. But we have to admit this understated fact: Lighting is the single most important décor element at your wedding. And while, at first, that thought sounds more functional than fun, hear us out: The bulbs and candles you select are what will ultimately light your perfect venue, make your photos just right, and keep the party going—even after the sun sets. So, yeah, lighting is important, and it’s an essential element of both your budget and wedding-day décor. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with it—in fact, you should have fun with it. As with any other design detail, treat choosing, planning, and installing the night’s illumination as yet another opportunity to carry out your design vision—whatever style that is.
When it comes to wedding décor, you surely have a long-running list at hand. Flowers, cards, draperies, candles—you name it. Everything has to be included, or you’ll miss out on a lot!
Aside from these, there’s one crucial element that you should never forget: wedding lighting. Whether you’re opting for traditional table lamps or luxurious chandeliers, they will illuminate the whole venue, make you appear better in photos, and set the perfect mood for a celebration.
Some couples just let their wedding organisers and event planners take care of it, and there’s nothing wrong with that. But for some, choosing the right lighting is part of their to-do list. It builds excitement and also brings them closer to creating a picture-perfect wedding.
But seriously, as you start to think about your lighting plan, remember that the options are endless and can be easily catered to any venue, budget, and style.
