Happy Tuesday everyone. I am wondering how many of you are reading the blog this week versus how many of you are trapped at the grocery store. Thanksgiving dinner is at my house this year and my refrigerator is already packed with turkeys, and all of the ingredients necessary to create the perfect Thanksgiving dinner. (Yes, I know it’s only Tuesday, but I am a planner after all!) I am cooking for 17 people. This is also the first year that my fiance’s family will be joining my family for dinner. They have never met. It should be interesting!
For now, I am putting my recipes aside to talk to you about using lighting as a part of your overall wedding reception decor. I love when a client decides to add lighting to her reception. See the before and after photos below. They truly say it all.

Lighting isn’t necessarily expensive. As with every other wedding vendor, you need to shop around to find a lighting company that fits your style and budget. Take the time to check reception lighting out. It can make a dramatic difference in the look of your wedding.
Thank you to Erin Schulte, Owner/Producer for Exclusive Events, Inc. located in Maryland Heights, Missouri for sharing her clients’ wedding reception photos. I think that they illustrate the impact of good lighting better than anything I could possibly put into words.
