Upping the ante with uplighting

About Us

I'm a happy-go-lucky do-gooder and owner of Va de Vie Events. Through this blog, I hope to share inspiration, budget ideas and DIY tips on how to pull off a budget wedding. {Savvy shopping, a bit of craftiness, and flexibility is what it takes!} I would love to hear from real brides, vendors, photographers, and more with their budget savvy tips or real weddings. Please email me at vera at vadevie-events.com.

NOTE: In accordance with new FTC regulations, vendors I spotlight on my blog have not sponsored me or their post in any way -- it's strictly editorial and because I admire their work. I also credit photography as best I can and will gladly take it down if necessary. Thank you.

Upping the ante with uplighting

Filed under event design, inspiration, uplighting

Uplighting can make a big difference in creating ambiance for your event. Are you using uplights? If so, are you using a neutral color like amber (which we might go for), or color?

Heather said... 1: We were thinking about using uplights, but now don’t think we will, since our venue features picture windows, and we will have daylight late into the evening on our wedding day. I absolutely love the awesome atmosphere uplights create, though!; April 6, 2010 at 10:24 AM
