New Jersey Wedding Planner - Lighting Your Reception

Lighting is something a lot of couples overlook when planning their wedding. I don’t know if it’s because they aren’t sure that so many great options exist, or if they just don’t want to add something else to think about on their long list of things to do (but what’s one more thing, right?). However, it’s not something you should be overlooking. Lighting is a great way to improve the mood, ambiance, and atmosphere of your weddings. Today I want to show you what great ways pin spotting can transform a room.

No worries if you don't know what pin spotting is, I certainly didn't before I joined the Pure Ambiance team. Pin spotting is a type of lighting that is set up before your reception starts. It is hung from above and you use the light to focus on one main thing. Perhaps you have gorgeous centerpieces that you want people to immediately be drawn to when they walk in; this would be the perfect time to use pin spotting. Generally anything you want to draw attention to is a great thing to use this type of lighting on. The right lighting will totally transform your reception into anything you want it to. Can you see the difference in a table with pin spotting and one without?













Another great thing you can do with pin spotting is change the color. Not all lights are white. If you want a different feeling than the one plain white offers, go for it! Blues and greens create cooler atmospheres, which are great for winter- or nature-themed weddings. On the other hand reds, yellows and oranges create warmer atmospheres; think of themes like a hot summer night or a sunny spring day.




Pin spotting isn't the only type of lighting that will make over your wedding reception, but I wanted to keep it simple to begin with. Now that you have opened your eyes to a whole new variety of options, the possibilities are endless!

New Jersey Wedding Planner - Cake Toppers for Everyone

The Team was in a design meeting one day when we came across cake toppers in one of the bridal books we were browsing through, and let me tell you, I was surprisingly amazed. I know that you can get monogrammed cake toppers, but as for the people cake toppers, I was one of those people who thought they only came in the plastic bride and groom statues with one look and no options -- you know the one I'm talking about. I was so wrong. I had no idea what great toppers were out there. You can customize, personalize, and specialize your very own cake toppers to virtually anything you want. There are humorous cake toppers, elegant cake toppers, themed cake toppers, bobble head cake toppers, character cake toppers, outrageous cake toppers, sporting cake toppers.. and all of them are great! Whether you're short, tall, thin, curvy, blonde, brunette, pregnant or not... you can find YOU.

This is a great way to show off a side of you to the guests that you normally wouldn't get to at your wedding. There are also places where you can send in a picture of yourself and they create you as a couple. If you don't want statues on the top, you can go for custom monograms, animals, beloved characters, flowers, trees, or even have a photo of you two engraved. If you want to go crazy with something at your wedding, but don't know what... this is the perfect solution for you!! I'm attaching some photos so you can see just a glimpse of all the great toppers you can choose from.








































All I did was Google "wedding cake toppers" and found a huge selection. Start personalizing your own today. Good luck and go crazy!
