To most of my clients, I may seem to be overly obsessed with lighting and color. The truth is, I can’t stress enough about the importance of the right lighting, It is a key ingredient to achieving the perfect display, yet many tend to overlook this simple element. As many of you know, just about 95% of evening events take place in a dim lit setting. It is the typical setting that heralds the beginning of a formal evening affair. It’s also in this dim lit setting that centerpieces either come to life or disappear into the darkness.
Up lighting and pin-spot lighting on centerpieces will help bring those centerpieces to life, but not everyone can afford the additional lighting. If you find yourself with limited lighting, then follow these tips that will help bring visual life to your event:
· Introduce as much candle lighting as possible (votives and pillars candles are our favorites)
· Focus on colors that will “pop” in the darkness.
· Stay away from deep blues, purples, Burgundies and other cool tones that lack vibrancy, as they will disappear into the dark.
· Select colors like whites, creams, lime greens, oranges, fuchsias and other vibrant warm tones.
If you must go with a dark, cool tone, then select highlighting colors to complement and keep your centerpieces alive. A good example would be the combination of purple and fuchsia. These colors paired together complement each other very well. By selecting this combination, you’re able to keep the richness of the dark purple and call attention to the centerpiece with the fuchsia.
I will soon be posting a color chart of some of my favorite color combinations to work with. Stay posted and keep in mind the importance of lighting and color on your next evening affair.
