lighting DECORATING WITH Lighting Cost Range: $500 to $7,000+ Studio Impressions Photography Wedding lighting is not just about illuminating a room. The lighting design you choose will shape your event and set the right tone like no other element there. No matter what your theme, we’ve come up with an option to light your venue and keep the party going, even after dark. Chandeliers Chandeliers can add an air of class and elegance to any venue. Wrap some fab- ric around the base to cover up any unsightly chains or cords. For a whimsical, romantic feel, drape fabric, greenery, flowers, or crystals from the chandelier. You could also collect chandeliers of different sizes, metals, bulbs, and styles to create a bohemian, eclectic space. Candles Candles are the ultimate “mood lighting.” The flickering flame creates a warm, cozy, romantic ambiance. Combine shapes, sizes, and heights for a centerpiece, use them to light up your cake table, or place them along the aisle of your cer- emony! Use candles that are fragrance-free, so you don’t create an overwhelm- ingly perfumed environment. Lanterns Hang antique lanterns at different levels to create an enchanting ceiling dis- play, or line the path to your venue with vintage or paper lanterns to guide the way. Hang round paper lanterns from a tree or arch behind you while you say your “I Dos.” You can even have a helium paper lantern release at your recep- tion departure!
