The right wedding lighting is one of the most important elements during the wedding ceremony and at the wedding reception. It creates a wonderful atmosphere and the perfect lighting of the ambience.

The wedding lighting underlines the motto and perfectly highlights the loving and detailed wedding decoration. With the right lighting, your big moment from moving in to saying yes to the exuberant party will be a pompous and romantic experience that you will carry in your heart forever.

Our following guide will accompany you on the way to your first-class wedding lighting. 

 

Planning lighting made easy

Many factors play an important role when creating a lighting plan for your wedding. Depending on the entire day of the event, the location, the size of the location, the style and of course the time of day and season influence the flair of the wedding, which the lighting should emphasize. Therefore, first think about how the magic of the big event can best be implemented.

 

The wedding location

The place where you celebrate your love has a big impact on wedding lighting. Before you decide on a final lighting concept, you should arrange the viewing appointment at the same time of day as your celebration and wedding ceremony. This gives you an exact idea of ​​how bright the daylight could be and how much built-in basic lighting is already available in the location.

If you already have a clear idea of ​​your decoration and lighting, you should make sure that your wishes can be implemented. If the room has a lot of lamps, additional lamps such as chandeliers and pendant lights can still help create the atmosphere you want.

Take a close look at the location and determine where the existing lights are aimed and how many additional power outlets you may need.

 

Outdoor wedding

If your wedding reception is to take place outdoors, it is advisable to check the location in advance, even after dark. This way you can determine which corners still need to be illuminated to create a great atmosphere. Identify outdoor sockets and ask the location operator which additional power connections are permitted if, for example, you want to integrate elaborate light displays into your wedding lighting.

Be sure to also think about the DJ you have ordered and the entertainment program. Artists and musicians often bring their own lighting arrangements and also need an additional power connection. Depending on how much power you need in total, including coffee machines, refrigerators, etc., you should definitely check out what is possible beforehand. If you are on site with a professional, they may also advise you to rent an additional power generator so that no fuses blow and the light is reliably available. 

 

Pay attention to the season of the wedding

How much additional light you need for your wedding obviously depends on the time of year when the celebration is planned. If you plan your big moment for the summer months, there is a good chance that the sunlight will provide you with a wonderful natural atmosphere for a long time. Warm summer evenings are definitely suitable for outdoor wedding celebrations and you can not only use artificial lights, but also use torches, reflective lights and solar lights, for example. When dusk falls, this lighting conjures up a wonderfully romantic atmosphere.

For a wedding in winter or in the autumn and spring months, more lighting is often necessary, as daylight disappears quickly or the weather may not cooperate. There are breathtaking lighting displays that let the theme of your wedding shine and transform a simple room into a warm and loving wedding location.

Of course, there are also unique locations such as castles, barns and orangeries, which themselves impress with their spectacular ambience. With the right wedding lighting you can give these rooms the finishing touch. 

 

The theme of the wedding

When choosing your wedding lighting, it is also important to choose the style that should match the wedding theme. You have certainly thought of a theme that should run through your celebration, from the decorations to the entertainment program. This also results in the lighting concept for your wedding. Different styles offer different creative lighting that showcases the theme beautifully. 

 

Classic wedding style

Classic wedding locations are usually equipped with magnificent lights such as chandeliers and beautiful wall lights, which give the room an elegant ambience without additional light sources. You can enhance this atmosphere with candlesticks on the tables because these lights provide a soft light and are very decorative.

Glass lanterns with pillar candles are very suitable for more modern tastes. They conjure up a romantic effect. You can illuminate your dance floor in the colors that match the theme with innovative LED spotlights and the wedding cake looks even more impressive with a chain of lights on the serving table. Small, detailed lights on the candy bar or on the counter create highlights and act as an additional sparkle in the room. 

 

Rustic wedding style

Do you exchange vows in a barn? Don't forget the traditional fairy lights! The spherical lamps add a touch of playfulness to the outdoor area. The bulbs are usually larger than ordinary LED fairy lights, so every single element of the chain creates a charming atmosphere.

You can illuminate all the corridors to the dream age or paths with solar lights with the motif of your wedding. Small chandeliers and lamps with a retro look always look great in this location. A mix of different lamp styles from the past with lots of natural elements in the decoration gives this style the right setting. 

 

Romantic wedding style

Beautify the picturesque property or a castle garden with fairy lights. Hang them vertically to create a ceremony backdrop, or drape the lights from a tent to create a canopy or starry sky effect.

Outside, you can hang lanterns on trees or use them to illuminate paths. Pompous chandeliers and pink light displays immerse the ballroom in a romantic atmosphere and give it a lot of intimacy. At the end of the celebration, you can ask your guests to release lanterns into the night sky. This wedding will definitely be unforgettable for you. 

 

Modern and unusual wedding style

Are you planning to get married in a converted warehouse, barn or historic building? Underline the unique style of this location with your matching wedding lighting! For example, use uplights to draw attention to architectural details or add a pop of color to the room.

For table lighting, there are unusual iron lanterns that serve both as lighting and as table decoration. Illuminated signs, retro-look chandeliers and vertical fairy lights are great eye-catchers and you can make them very personal and individual. 

 

Choose different lamps

Wedding lighting is one of the elements that contributes the most to the atmosphere. This poetry, which runs through the entire day, sets the mood and deepens emotions, is a large part of the wedding theme. Both in the afternoon and at dusk, the lighting supports the theme of your wedding and ensures the well-being of your guests. Therefore, choose the right lamps carefully and use different lights for a successful lighting concept.

 

• Sculptural lights: Artful lighting arrangements are already integrated into the actual decoration. Floating fabric lanterns act like clouds and spread a soft and atmospheric light that invites you to dream. Floral shapes look like bright petals and radiate a magical natural glow. With bowl-shaped lamps and small, loving sculptures, you can transform any room into a mystical and glamorous wedding location.

 

• Glass lamps: Flower-shaped chandeliers and star-shaped glass lights filter and reflect light in a wonderfully delicate and graceful way. Small shimmering crystal lamps on the tables and artfully designed tea lights in small glass lanterns always look magical and support the existing basic lighting. You can design them according to your own taste and complement any color. 

 

• Light structures: Impressive light structures on the ceiling of the room skillfully enhance the room and change its atmosphere according to your wishes. A huge light ring or a light-flooded film that moves like waves looks awesome and is a real eye-catcher. There are no limits to your imagination and creativity and not everyone has that special something at their wedding.

 

• Ceiling lights: Ceiling lights glow softly like stars and give the celebration a relaxed setting. They are discreetly aligned with the tables and buffet and provide a pleasant beam of light. The guests are not blinded and can clearly see the food and drinks and enjoy the wedding to the fullest.

 

• Candlelight: The traditional and indispensable candlelight is part of almost every wedding. It appears lively and almost magical, as it enchants any ambience and provides a warming light for dreaming. The natural light makes people feel calm and blissful and of course happiness cannot be missing on this special day. Simple yet effective wedding lighting is still very popular and is incorporated into many decorations. Candles in numerous variations can serve as dreamy accessories on the tables or can also be placed in generous candle holders. With the end of the celebration, the tender light goes out while love continues to warm hearts. 

 

A mix of different lamps and lights is always a good idea because it provides variety and a varied and complete lighting concept. We would be happy to advise you on your lighting at weddings and other events that you want to remain unforgettable. Get in touch with us!
