Believe it or not, lighting can set the stage for your wedding to be as glamorous or as classy as you desire. When you use uplighting, it gives the effect of making the room appear taller and more dramatic.

With the right kind of lighting, your wedding can take on a more expensive, chic, and romantic look with just the flick of a switch. You can completely change the feel and color of a space with just one light bulb.

This industry secret is starting to become a huge trend with brides, and big portions of wedding budgets are being spent on lighting a wedding. Today we are going to take a look at some of the more unique ways couples are choosing to light up their nights.

Tenting a ceiling either parachute style or with tulle adds a dramatic affect and height to your venue. It could also hide potentially ugly and dirty pipes and exposed beams if it is a loft space.

Lighting an entire wall for your alter or as a backdrop for a dance floor or other space will give you and your guests a perfect space for a photo op!

These lights look like fireworks, which work flawlessly in this loft space.

Hanging bare bulbs or stringing lights over your tables is a great option for outside weddings; especially if there will not be a lot of light provided. The soft glow is a better option than harsh flood lights.

A popular trend right now is to release these lanterns into the sky. Though gorgeous, they rarely will have the desired affect (as pictured above) as the wind often will blow them over and once the flame extinguishes they will fall back to earth, littering and often becoming harmful to animals.

String lights can be arranged in many fashions to create a simple, but effective display of lights. It not only is practical, but beautiful.

Hanging chandeliers from trees is such an ironic trend right now; we love it! The high-low blend of couture and country is classic, and something any bride can pull off!
