Lighting is an amazing way and cost effective way to transform an entire space. Planners and designers are going that extra mile to find the most unique chandeliers and lamps to incorporate into table décor. In addition to that, they are pulling out all of the stops searching for new ways to use traditional uplighting and pinspots to achieve dramatic results. Designers are creating custom gels to add texture to the events and projecting images on drape or wall to assist in pushing event themes to the forefront.

If used correctly, good lighting can take a very average venue and fill it with magic. Keep your eyes peeled this season. With event budgets being cut due to this economic slump, I guarantee that you will see less expensive collateral and more cutting edge uses of light. Isn’t it nice when something that really sucks forces us to get creative?
