Lights, Camera, Wedding!
Gorgeous lighting helps to establish the perfect atmosphere for your wedding events. Here are four unique ideas for illuminating your wedding.
MAKE THE PARTY GLOW UNDER A CANOPY OF TWINKLING STRING LIGHTING
Whether you have a rustic chic theme or a sophisticated ballroom as the backdrop, draping the ceiling in market lights will create a delicate and chic ambiance. Friends and family members will feel as if they are dancing beneath the stars.
USE EDISON LIGHT BULBS TO ADD AN UNEXPECTED TWIST ON A CLASSIC DESIGN
This trend popped up in the last few years and remains a favorite among couples. The old-fashioned bulbs can be strung from the ceiling for a modern, urban feel or woven within lush, natural tablescapes for an ethereal look. Want a more subdued, minimalist design? Simply place bulbs on small tables throughout your cocktail hour to create a soft glow. Due to their sleek design, these bulbs can complement almost any decor.
ADD SOME ELEGANT CHANDELIERS THROUGHOUT THE SPACE TO SET THE MOOD
Nothing says romance like dancing under an ornate chandelier. Imagine having a garden reception at the Ritz Carlton. Decorating the outdoor space with a classic crystal chandelier (or two!) above the dance floor will create an elegant touch without appearing over-the-top.
SEND EVERYONE HOME WITH A SPARKLING MEMORY VIA TASTEFUL FIREWORKS
Since it’s your celebration, you control all the details - including color and whether a celebratory message lights up the sky (also ensuring that the display is chic and modern and does not resemble a Fourth of July Celebration). Your planner can help with the specifics such as getting the right permits and technicians on hand. Handheld sparklers for guests to send off the couple are another option that will create stunning images as the newlyweds make an elegant exit!
The hemline has risen—intentionally.
The modern bridal mini has shifted from an after-party alternative to a ceremony-ready statement--the Little White Dress redefined. It has become city-hall appropriate, rehearsal-dinner definitive, and wedding-reception essential. Structured, abbreviated, and deliberate, it signals confidence rather than compromise. The short wedding dress was once a radical departure; today it is simply a sophisticated choice for a white rehearsal dinner dress, a wedding reception second look, and an after party wedding dress. The bridal mini dress honors the heritage of 1960s couture and makes an equally compelling case as the second look.
Minimal design meets architectural intention in the Josette, a white strapless rehearsal dress and minimal wedding dress designed for modern brides. This style guide explores how to style a civil ceremony dress with purpose — transforming clean structure into a refined statement for rehearsal dinners, wedding receptions, and intimate wedding receptions.
Who says the magic has to begin at “I do”? For today’s modern bride, every event leading up to the wedding is a moment worthy of sartorial celebration. From the engagement party to the rehearsal dinner and every toast in between, creating a beautiful and unique assortment of little white dresses is an opportunity for each bride to showcase her personal style. One of our favorite options is to choose a little white dress with a subtle amount of sparkle.
