Set the Mood of Your Wedding Venue through Uplighting

Weddings are special. People spend time and effort in planning the perfect wedding. If you are one of those people who are walking their way into their wedding day, you may want to explore uplighting to make your wedding venue extra special.

Uplighting refers to a technique used in lighting design to enhance the ambiance of any given space. This technique involves placing lighting fixtures on the ground and focusing them upward, hence the term “up”lighting.

This lighting method is very popular these days for a variety of reasons. For one, it is the easiest way to dress up an event space. Other uses of uplighting are the following:

1. Uplighting can add color to a neutral surface like walls or columns.
2. Uplighting can be used to make a room appear taller by creating vertical lines or accenting existing ones.
3. Uplighting can be used to highlight or emphasize any inherent architectural features of a room such as columns and alcoves.

To maximize the effects of uplighting to your wedding venue, we suggest that you make the following choice:

1.       Choose vibrant colors. The whole point in going to the time and expense of uplighting is to enhance the wedding venue. This can only be achieved through the use of vibrant colors. Colors have dramatic impact on mood and energy.

2.       LED the way. Incandescent bulbs may be cheaper but they bring along with them a dozen disadvantages. For one, they consume more electricity than LED ones. They also get hot, which is not good for your guests with young children. And the worst of all, they offer limited color choices.

3.       Hire a pro. There are lighting companies that offer light rental services. Some couple chooses this option to save money. But if you want a hassle-free uplighting service, go and hire a pro instead of doing the thing by yourself. Imagine all the trouble you have to go to set-up and control the lighting fixtures: you will buy all the extension cords needed, installing all the lights, manning them during the event, then tearing it all back down, and returning the fixtures once the wedding is done . IT IS YOUR WEDDING DAY. You should sit back and enjoy the occasion. Let the professionals handle uplighting for your wedding venue.

Preparing Your Wedding Venue for A Rainy Day

The rainy season has arrived but this shouldn’t stop you from having the best day of your life. So what if the weather forecast says that it will rain on your wedding day? It’s not the end of the world. However, you may need to take some action to make sure that your wedding remains amazing despite the downpour.

What wedding venue did you pick? The good news is that if you want to exchange vows outdoors, you can still do so. You can even ask the guests to stand in the rain with their umbrellas just to see you get married. After all, it is your big day! But after that, make sure to move to an indoor wedding venue for the reception. The rain shouldn’t spoil the delicious meals you have prepared for your guests.

In relation to the wedding venue, you must also talk to your vendors about how they will deal with the rainy day. Although these people are professionals and know how to troubleshoot, you should know what they’ll do. In addition, check if the venue can actually accommodate the extra needs of your vendors during the rainy wedding day.

Now, you have to do some extra shopping too. Given that the forecast says it will rain on your wedding day, buy matching umbrellas for everyone. The uniform look when the guests stand up for the ceremony will look great in the photos. You may also want to buy some rain boots for the guests if you have the budget for it. What to do with these things after the wedding? Give them as souvenirs so your guests can remember the unique wedding they were a part of.

The rain shouldn’t make everything ugly. If you take on a more positive perspective, you can use the rain to your advantage. Photographers can play with the light, especially if there’s a little sunshine and some rain drops falling. The wedding venue need not look drenched as well. With the bright colored flowers and decorations, it will still look perfect for your wedding.

The rain makes for a good backdrop especially for that special kiss. It’s actually more dramatic compared to simply kissing under the bright sunshine. Embrace the rain and enjoy the day. It’s not like you can do anything about it anyway. Come to think of it, you’ll have one of the most memorable weddings ever.

Making A Smart Choice with your Tampa Wedding Venue

At last, the proposal was made and a wedding is on the way a year later. While you may be excited to spend the lifetime with the love of your life, you have to do some wedding planning first. One of the most important things in planning is to pick your Tampa wedding venue. What are the factors to consider so you can make the right choice?

Although couples may have a gut feel that a certain venue is perfect, you shouldn’t always go with your gut feel. When it comes to picking a Tampa wedding venue, you have to be more analytical and practical at best. Let’s break this down further and consider the different factors in choosing a venue for your wedding.

• Decorations and add-ons – While the space of the Tampa wedding venue looks spacious enough, you need to get something bigger. This is because you’ll be adding decorations and features that will take up space. You might want to add a photo booth, dance floor, ice sculpture or chocolate fountain but if you have no extra space, the venue will be cramped.

• Location – Guests around the country would want to spend your wedding day with you. So, make sure that you pick a Tampa wedding venue that is close to an affordable yet comfortable place of accommodation. Don’t make it difficult for your out-of-town guests to go to your wedding.

• Beauty- Is the place beautiful? Or more specific, is it photogenic? You’ll be taking close to thousands of photos on your wedding day with the venue as your backdrop. You have to make sure that the venue looks spectacular. Even the guests will want to do a photo-op on their own too.

• Food – When it comes to food catering, you should ask the venue if they provide food catering as part of the package already. This will be more affordable and convenient for you. You need not worry about finding a different caterer as well as the table and room setups anymore. But don’t forget to do a taste test on the menu first. Your food should taste exquisite that day.

Every couple wants to have a perfect wedding day but of course, you must be ready to settle with “close to perfect”. What really matters is that you spend the day with your loved ones and make it a memorable experience for everyone which is why you should pick your venue wisely.

The Perfect Wedding Venue for the Perfect Wedding

Before you say “I do,” make sure that you are in the perfect place! A place that you can see yourself tying the knot with all that magic and grandeur. Weddings in Tampa can be different in style. Although they follow the same routine list of the events and itinerary, the outlandish and/or simple themes incorporated in these weddings make them unique and eye-catching. The first problem that most couples encounter in setting up a memorable event, such as this, is picking the perfect wedding venue. Here are few pointers that might help you brush this problem away off your shoulder:

• Taste and style - in this generation, couples become so creative with their weddings that they think about a lot of surprises and plan on making it more fun compared to the traditional ceremony. Their creativity starts with the wedding venue! As you search for and tour the different venues in Tampa, keep your vision in mind. Imagine the type of ceremony whether it fits the style of the place.

• Catering – some venues have catering services that are exclusive for that venue alone, while some gives you the freedom to pick your own caterers for your wedding event. Caterers can help you in picking the right wedding venue. Some venues limit you to specific catering companies, which is not an advantage for some.  Having the freedom to choose who would be serving your guests is essential.

• Simple venue - keeping everything in one place can be a huge cut with the costs of your wedding. Having one venue for both the ceremony and the reception will save you from the hassle of decorating another venue or reorganizing guests. Another problem with wedding venues is the space for all the decorations and the number of guests. Simplicity is the key to an elegant wedding venue; reduce the number of unnecessary decorations or things to make room for comfort.

• Services - wedding venues are capable of recommending reliable staff and other services to make everything organized and guests satisfied. Wedding venues in Tampa offer packages that include manpower for your wedding including entertainment.

Let your wedding venue be the priority for your special event. Take note of the tips above to help you save time and effort.

Make your wedding special and memorable with us!
