LET THERE BE LIGHT

From neon installations to basket chandeliers, lighting is an essential part of any event. It is crucial to setting the mood and adding a little or a whole lotta personality.
Stay tuned every month for what wedding trends we're currently crushing on. Scroll on for Pinterest-worthy illumination inspiration from our real weddings!
1. Geometric Pendant Lights
We love a statement piece, and geometric details never fail to amp up any wedding with a little modern glamour.
In order to create a stunning focal point over the head table, Fallyn + Aaron worked together with Lauren Marie Atkinson and Infinity's production team to create this chic, custom installation for their reception.

3. Edison Lights
Known for effortlessly amping up the cool-factor, Edison lights are a surefire way to add twinkling style with a little industrial edge.
Intertwined with greenery or simply strung on their own, we love how they add a warm glow to any space.
4. Bohemian Brass Pendants
For an enchanting and free-spirited effect, we're loving these unique brass pendants.
Pair them with earthy elements, vintage rugs, and bright pops of color to add the perfect golden glow to any boho celebration.

5. Marquee Signs
Retro signage is popping up everywhere.
Seen in home decor, weddings and other events, marquee signs are not only a great way to light up your space, but they come in super handy for stylishly labeling certain areas or activities too.

6. Projection Mapping
Undeniably bold and unique, projection mapping makes use of the latest innovative technology to transform any space into, well, just about anything.
How does it work, you ask? High-resolution imagery or video is seamlessly projected onto the walls and sometimes even the ceiling to transport guests to another season, city, or planet, without ever leaving the room.
Need a visual? Peep Lauren + Stephen's fall reception below where they projected golden Aspen trees onto the walls to bring their favorite season inside.

7. Custom Gobos
Whether it's on the floor, on the wall, or on the side of the Pedestrian Bridge, gobos are one of our all-time favorite ways to personalize and commemorate any event.
With endless options including company logos, custom monograms, and even hand-drawn imagery, let your imagination run wild for a truly unforgettable way to illuminate your event that will really wow your guests.
