An Event Planner’s Bright Ideas For Lighting!

Lighting is critical for any event. It can set a mood and really change the whole feel of it. Am I right? This week, we’ve got lightweight paper lanterns in all shapes, colors and sizes. So turn off that standard overhead light and create a lighting masterpiece with these decorative lighting ideas!

If you’ve been one of my loyal blog followers, you know that we publish these image roundups weekly. We feature a particular event for a particular client so you can go deep on the particular theme. If you know what’s up, skip this part, new visitors, take a look below…

In case you missed it, here’s what we’re doing, mentioned in the first blog (and if you already know what’s going on, skip to the first photo!): Every day we’re posting event photos & inspiration to my Instagram page to give you ideas for your own events, and of course, encourage you to hire yours truly, event planner extraordinaire, for your next soiree! In terms of format, we’re trying to capitalize on the whole hashtag calendar world and take advantage of #WeddingWednesday (#WW) and #ThrowbackThursday (#TBT) by posting wedding photos and cool stuff we’ve done on Wednesdays and on Thursdays, harkening back to a past client’s event, be it a celebrity, or just one of us tastemakers.
