Have You Tried These Innovative Lighting Ideas For Your Reception Night?

Lighting = Boring stuff your dad discusses? Nope!  We figured that the last leg of every wedding, the reception must not be boring and blah - because this is after all, the last image anyone will have on their mind when they leave the wedding. That's where lighting comes in - pretty outdoor/indoor lighting ideas that will make any reception stand out. Candle showcase all night long 

Aura By Gautam Vedi★ 5

Lots of candles, it's always good to go old-school. The idea is to create a charming space that gets all the attention as a central installation. The light from the installation will also give a soft, romantic vibe to the entire banquet.
