Nothing affects mood and atmosphere quite like the right lighting. So why shouldn’t you take advantage of lighting to make your 2025 wedding as magical and romantic as possible? In today’s blog we will be providing you with some handy tips when planning the lighting for your 2025 Chilliwack wedding.
Indoor or Outdoor
Do you plan to have an indoor or outdoor wedding? Or will it be partially indoor and partially outdoor? All options will present their own unique lighting challenges. If the wedding is an outdoor affair or has an outdoor portion you will need to consider the power source for your lighting. Are there outlets? How close are they? Can they handle the power needs for your lighting? You should make sure you work with your lighting specialist and the venue to answer these questions.
Venue Considerations
There are multiple considerations to take into account regarding your wedding venue and what kinds of lighting you can use. Some venues will have restrictions, so it is best to make sure your lighting desires are even possible before you get too far along in the planning process. You should also make sure to visit the venue at the times of day when various wedding events are being held so you can determine what needs to be illuminated.
Professional or Do it Yourself
As weddings can be very expensive it is always tempting to save money by putting in the labuor yourself rather than hiring someone to do it for you. While you can arrange the lighting for your wedding yourself or simply rely on the basic venue lights, don’t underestimate what a professional wedding lighting specialist can bring to the table. Professional lighting specialists will be able to create exciting lighting that can draw attention to the hard work you’ve put into decorating your wedding venue as well as make wedding photography easier by ensuring that your photographer has plenty of optimally lit locations to take photos. Many professionals will also set up and take down the lights themselves so it’s one less thing you need to worry about.
