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.
