Before you start looking for lighting ideas or reaching out to vendors for quotes, you’ll want to know these key wedding lighting terms so you’ll know what you (and the pros) are talking about:

Uplighting – lights that are placed on the floor and shine up the walls in various colors

Gobo light – a template that light shines through to create a pattern, monogram, or motif on the floor, ceiling, or wall

Texture lighting – the same as a Gobo light but with a preset pattern, such as leaves or a starry night sky

Spotlight – a lamp that projects a narrow beam of light on one particular area or object

Pinspot – a tiny light used to illuminate a small area, such as a centerpiece on a table

String lights – also referred to as twinkle, fairy, bistro, or cafe lights, these strands of lights are the most versatile and cost-effective way to light up any space

Pendants – also known as drop or suspender lights, these are single fixtures that hang from the ceiling

LED light – type of bulb that is cost-effective, long-lasting, and provides more vibrant color than a traditional bulb

Color wash – a general fill of color used throughout an entire room that doesn’t highlight any particular area

Romantic – If your style is romantic and classic, you can’t go wrong with tons of candlelight, string lights, and crystal chandeliers. Keep the glow soft and warm to create a cozy ambiance that makes guests feel welcome and relaxed.

Rustic – If your style is more rustic, antique lanterns, paper lanterns, Edison bulb pendant lights, and marquee lights can help you bring a raw, natural feel to your wedding design. Your mood should have an at-home feel, which requires simple lighting with a hint of charm.

Modern – If your style is modern and minimal, hurricane vases with floating candles, spotlights, and color washing can provide drama without too much fuss. You’ll probably want to opt for LED lights because they provide more vibrant colors than traditional bulbs.

Glamorous – If you love a glamorous style, you’ll want to go for more dramatic lighting sources, such as crystal chandeliers, candelabras, lit topiaries, and curtains of lights. Since nothing says glam like a little glitz, make sure to add sparkly details near the lighting sources so they reflect and add a glow to the room.

In addition to your wedding style, you should also think about what elements of your wedding are most important to you. If you invested a large portion of your budget into the flowers, you’ll want to be sure they’re sufficiently lit with pin spots or candles so your guests can see every detail. If you’re more interested in getting everyone on the dance floor, consider disco balls and gobo or texture lights to keep the party vibe up all night long.

For an indoor wedding, you’ll need to know what lighting is already in the venue so that you can simply add to it or work around it. Uplighting is great for accentuating architectural features or changing wall colors to match your palette, and color washing can help create different moods in different rooms throughout the venue. This is where a lighting design pro will be your best friend! They can help figure out what existing fixture will work and what to add to get the look you want.

For an outdoor wedding, power sources will likely be your biggest roadblock. If you’re getting married at night, you’ll also want to make sure all pathways to the venue, to the parking lot, and to the bathrooms are lit. For a small backyard wedding, you will likely be good with simple string lights in and between trees and votive candles on every table. But, if you’re having a big outdoor celebration in a courtyard or tent, you’ll want to call in the professionals! They might need to bring in generators for more power and will save you the hassle of trying to hang lights in high places.

Lighting tips

The main lighting source should be bright. You can use LED lights of relevant wattage, to give a comfortable feeling.
Consider the ceiling height, before hanging a chandelier. It should be mounted at least seven to eight ft above the floor.

 
On a workstation, place the lamp at a correct angle, to ensure that no shadow falls on the working area.
A side table with a lamp, not only has its own charm but is also useful as a reading light.
Lamps in the bedroom need to be at a convenient distance from the bed, making it easy to operate.
While selecting light fixtures, ensure that it complements the overall theme of the house and furniture design.
Choose fixtures that are easy to maintain – spares and accessories should be easily available in future, for replacement.
Ensure that the children’s rooms are bright. Avoid floor lamps and glass lamps for safety.
Always have extra plug points for lights (like fairy lights and lamps) that you can use during festivals and special occasions.
