While planning out the lighting decoration, an approximate estimation should be made as to the requirement of electricity to light up the venue.
Doing this well in advance saves the occasional embarrassment of a burnt up fuse or the tripping of a circuit breaker that needs resetting.
If there's any scope of a shortage, generators should be hired for the extra load.
If the noise emanating from generators sound irritating than battery backup may be considered for certain sections of the lighting do.
Lighting has a tremendous capacity to highlight what people want to highlight and underplay what they want to understate.
For instance a water fountain with a stand alone statue at the centre can be highlighted using a different coloured Pin Spot light with a different degree of illumination than the rest of the décor.
Again a string of LEDs running around it's circumference will simply be breathtakingly beautiful.
In a lighting scheme colour plays a very important fundamental role.
A mildly coloured central lighting arrangement creates a romantic blanket cover over the entire space complementing the skin tones of the guests and objects de art thereby enhancing the beauty of the whole surrounding and adding a feel of uniformity.
Green plants, whether outside or kept indoors can be suitably decorated with strings of twinkle lights that go off and on in a timed sequence giving out a particular pattern at a time.
If there's a water body like a small pool or manmade tub, lit up candles of different colours can be set afloat in metallic trays or platters for an extensive look of the decorated area.
For the reception area, Gobos are a good option to explore.
These are circular stencils cut out of metals like steel, polished tin etc.
which are put over lights of different shapes to cast a patterned shadow on the reception area.
These patterns could be a written text, a floral design or motif or may simply be an auspicious sign.
A huge central crystal chandelier hanging down a high ceiling has a timeless charm and appeal about it.
If the overall theme of the décor allows, then placing one strategically will add class to the entire setting.
To complement it, smaller wall mounted lights can be put up at the corners.
Nowadays LEDs are much in vogue due to their less consumption of electricity and flexibility.
LEDs can even be wireless making them a smart option to be placed on practically on anything.
Small light cubes may be put in transparent flower vases and corner bowls with beautifully shaped coloured stones of different sizes to draw attention to the floral decorations.
Again Rope lights can be used to swirl around fixtures or concrete pillars to make them blend with the entire décor.
For the truly resourceful, Solar lightings could be considered to glow up the terraces and other external spaces without worrying about the rising meter.
All of the above arrangements can be a possibility with professional assistance from experts in the lighting world.
Some of them come from a theatre or cinema background with years of hands-on experience on different products and their usability.
So, for a really wonderful lighting decoration their guidance is a must.
