Therefore, keep reading further to know more!
Consult your photographer
Now, photography is all about lighting, and weddings are all about photos clicked in good lighting. You get my point! So it is crucial to involve your photographer while choosing the type of light as he will keep in mind the technical aspect involved in lighting. For example- try to avoid red, green and blue lights as they make the editing of photos very difficult even the Led lights should be avoided as it would be impossible to recover the photos with real colors.
The most favorite lights of any photographer are old school warm yellow lights and this look can be easily achieved by inexpensive candles and yellow string lights. So definitely avoid fluorescent lights that will ruin your photos and also your budget.
Hire professionals
Now when I say that candles and fairy lights are best for the décor, that doesn’t mean it’s easy to put them up. So don’t even consider doing it yourself even If the wedding is just in your backyard. Professionals will keep in mind your expectations and then come up with a proper design so that every part of the décor makes sense.
Budget
I cannot stress this more, but budget is what you will decide first and don’t shy away from discussing the budget with you planner or the events company as they will come up with a good design no matter how high or low is your budget.
Keep in mind the venue
After the budget, your venue is what will decide the quantity of lights you will be requiring to cover the whole place. Also the manner of design changes with the venue. Many places already have a lighting setup of their own so try to match that vibe as well for uniformity.
