Now, summer is here, and while the sun’s light is always welcome, it can only do so much for your wedding. Sunlight can do little to add to your décor, but up lights don’t have that limitation!

Up lights are a great and budget-friendly way to add some pizzazz to your summer wedding. While they are often associated with nightclubs and other party venues, up lights can be used at weddings too. Here are some reasons you should consider using up lights at your wedding!

 

·      Up Lights Can Transform a Venue

If you’re getting married somewhere plain, up lighting can help transform the space and make it look more inviting and atmospheric. Though we recommend you book a beautiful wedding venue and let the up lights add even more beauty to it!

 

·      Up Lights Can Be Used to Create Different Effects

You can create different effects depending on the color of light you use. For example, blue light can create a calming atmosphere, while yellow light creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.

 

·      Up Lights Can Be Used to Highlight Certain Features of the Venue

If you have a beautiful staircase or a stunning chandelier, then up lighting can help you focus on their features and make them look even more impressive!

 

·      Up Lights Are Relatively Inexpensive

Up lights are inexpensive compared to other forms of wedding lighting, such as string lights or chandeliers. That makes them a great option if you’re working with a tight budget.

 

·      Up Lights Are Easy to Set Up

Unlike some other forms of wedding lighting, up lights are easy to set up and take down. This means you won’t spend hours figuring out how to install them.

Up lights are a great option if you’re looking for a way to add some extra flair to your wedding. Why not give them a try? You might be surprised at how much of a difference they can make!

The only question now is, where do you find and rent them? Better yet, where do you book a lighting company to set everything up for you?

Come to New Mexico Wedding Guides and Expos! You’ll be met with friendly wedding decorators, planners, designers, caters, venues, and other wedding professionals! Every vendor at our wedding shows has a proven track record of being New Mexico’s best!

So, head to our fantastic wedding expos if you want exceptional wedding planning and entertainment services. We’re always happy to do our part in ensuring you have a truly memorable wedding. Contact us here today!
