Why is wedding reception lighting important?

Lighting is one of the most important things you can do to create a gorgeous reception.

- Showcase those stunning floral arrangements
- Warm up a cool room to create flattering skin tones
- Light the center of a table while keeping the guests in candlelight

Think about a favorite restaurant - how is it lit? Look at the lights on the ceiling, the lamps, the candles on the table. Keep this in mind when you are planning your reception. Everyone looks gorgeous in the right light.

A big bonus - your photos will look terrific when you have great light, too. Pick up Vogue or Town & Country Weddings and look at the social pages - the backgrounds look great because somewhere, a terrific lighting designer planned it that way.
