Lighting ideas for your next Glamorous Occasion
If you're planning an upcoming gala, business event or even a wedding, you might have started to consider the effect lighting may have on your big day.
From sleek minimalism through to rustic charm, take a look at these lighting ideas and discover how you can incorporate them into your event.
Discreet whimsy
Outdoor dinners, weddings, parties and galas are increasingly filled with rustic, whimsical touches to add a beautiful romantic element to the decor. Exposed bulbs and electric cords are out, and hidden star and fairy lights are in.
Take inspiration from a secret garden and weave strings of these subtle twinkling lights through wreaths, bushes, archways and trees for a soft, glimmering effect.
Tealight candles and larger ones in glass motives can be placed on tables to further enhance this intimate look.
Sleek and slick
Event lighting doesn't have to be colourful flashing lights or LED dancefloors. If you're wanting a more subdued and modern effect, consider placing a few simple bulbs in dramatic statement lampshades.
A few giant bare festoon bulbs make a real statement when they hang low over tables and dancefloors, or you could cluster them in groups at different heights to create a more dramatic look.
Glitz and glamour
If pared-back chic isn't for you, consider hiring a chandelier to really spice up your event. These structures hark back to the opulent glamour of days gone by, and these days come in a range of colours and designs to suit any theme. You could even opt for a dramatic black option dripping in sparkling lights and shimmering beads, or keep things bright and colourful with a gold custom design.
Uplighting
Uplighting will always be popular at events, as it quickly and efficiently turns any plain space into something completely different.
Dark corners can be lit up with strategically placed floor lamps, while flowers, beautiful drapes and artwork can all be highlighted with the right bulbs.
