Custom Monogram Lighting

Custom Name Monogram lighting is a great addition to any event you are planning. All the design elements of your event can be pulled together using monogram lighting. A perfect backdrop can be created using a monogram design light creating a high impact focal point to all the decor, cake, and flowers. Company logos, artsy shapes, and initials are a few of the things that can be used at your event. One symbol that consists of two or more letters characters overlapping is a monogram. The initials of a company or individual are normally what the monograms are made of.

The vast majority of personalized wedding monograms are made up of three letters. The initial of the first name to the left with the last name’s initial slightly larger in the center and the initial of the middle name of the right. An example, if the individual’s name is Elizabeth Amanda Smith, then the arrangement of letters would be thus: ESA, the E for Elizabeth to the left with the surname initial S set larger in the center, and the A for Amanda to the right.

Couples sometimes use a monogram comprised of the two letters of their first name on things such as their wedding invitations. They may also choose to use a monogram with three letters; adding in the initial of their shared last name. An example, the monogram CSA might be used for Chris and Amy Smith. The  monogramming etiquette varies based on what item it is being applied to. The woman’s first initial is used first on items such as linens. So for Chris and Amy Smith the monogram would be ASC. In terms of lighting your monogram can be whatever you choose. There are more options for your monogram light than such your initials though. For example, Chris and Amy Smith can have “Amy & Chris” as their monogram light.

A design you already have can be used to create your monogram light, or we can help you create a custom monogram design. An illustration, paper copy, or computer graphic can be used to create a monogram light by using a digital vector illustration. Any font idea or picture can be used in creating your monogram. The monogram you choose will be used for your lighting of course but it can also be used throughout your wedding decor on items such as programs, cake toppers, and invitations.

The location of your monogram light also can be decided on what works best for you and your venue. Your monogram can be used on your dance floor which is especially nice for your first dance. The light can remain off until your first dance and your guests will be wowed by how great you both look dancing in your monogram. Your monogram can also be placed to shine behind your head table. All the photos your guests and photographer take of you while your are in your seats will have an excellent backdrop. The monogram could also be shined upon your cake to bring your guests focus to it. The ceiling or walls can also benefit from having your monogram shining upon them. Everyone dreams of seeing their name in lights, with monogram lighting you can make this dream become a reality.

Add Color To Your Reception With Uplighting

Transform your Reception

One of the most popular trends over the last two years for wedding receptions is Uplighting.

Uplighting is the process where theatrical lighting fixtures such as par cans and color bars are used to add color to a room.  Fixtures are placed on the floor pointing up projecting color on surfaces such as columns, alcoves, corners and any other piece of architecture that you want to stand out.

Walls can be washed with a specific color or colors to transform a rooms existing color or add additional colors.  In the case of a wedding, a bride chooses colors that match her linen colors and those colors are used to enhance the ambiance of the room.

Uplighting a corner or entry way: We place LED Lighting Fixtures also known as par cans on the floor facing up on the walls and other neutral surfaces to add color and brilliance to that area.   A room can also appear taller when uplights are used to accent vertical lines. Multiple LED Par Cans were used in the picture below to create a wall of Pink.  Moving head fixtures were used to flood the dance floor and create additional excitement.

Cake table uplighting is a great example of how the use of colored uplights in a static color or in a strobing pattern can bring focus & attention to that wedding cake you spent hundreds of dollars for.

Todays LED technology offers a lot more advantages over the traditional incandescent lighting fixtures.  LED fixtures are smaller and more discreet, do not get hot, draw little to no power and have the capability of producing all colors versus the older single colored fixtures requiring the use of colored gel film. These fixtures can be programmed to change colors, dim and even strobe at variable speeds.  Another important feature of LED fixtures is safety.  Since they do not heat up or get hot,  if a child or adult for that matter happens to touch one or try and pick it up they will not get burned.
