Submerged Floral Centerpieces

To dress up table settings and decorations, consider choosing submerged floral centerpieces for your reception. By submerging flowers or leaves in clear glass vases, the flowers are accentuated and magnified as the light refracts through the water. These trendy centerpieces brighten any room and help bring out the natural hues of the flowers, creating incredibly vibrant color schemes – and since this floral option is new to the scene, adding another up-and-coming element to your reception will be sure to impress your guests, ensuring your wedding will be talked about for years to come.

Upward Trends in Lighting

Make your reception pop, and wow your guests with up-lighting, a technique used to dress up your reception, creating mood and atmospheres within your space by focusing light from the floor upward.

This new trend in lighting is prefect for adding dimension, color, and unique alcoves to your wedding. Shining light upward from the floor brings neutral colored surfaces to life and creates vertical streams of light and shadow that add height to your environment, accentuating support columns and brightening otherwise dark corners in the room.

By adding color to up-lighting, often referred to as ambient lighting, you can easily heighten the mood, tying the room together by matching wedding colors and floral arrangement, providing the allusion that everything in the room is glowing with your wedding colors.

Because of the recent spike in up-lighting’s popularity, there is no shortage of vendors in the area waiting to light your big day.
