One of the things that is easy to forgo when making budget cuts is lighting and uplighting. Here is some advice; don’t. Lighting is such an easy way to add atmosphere and a romantic feel to your wedding. Lighting is what your eyes are initially drawn to, so it’s important not to skimp on it.
The soft glow of a candles flicker can take a dinner table from drab to ethereal. Twinkling lights make a subpar backyard into a wonderland. Strobes and lasers make a wood floor into a rocking dance floor. All it takes is a little know how, a bit of research and access to electricity to up your lighting ante and really create an atmosphere of romance and wonder.
