Wedding Decorating With Lamps
A decorative accessory often overlooked is the lamp. Lighting
can make or break a room. Most brides would never think to use lamps
in their wedding, however lamps can provide interesting wedding
decor ideas. Done effectively, you can create a stylish look for
your wedding using sophisticated lamps.
Lamps can be useful for their lighting as well as for the beauty
they add to a wedding. If you are looking for a wedding decor idea
that is unusual and stylish then try out these fabulous decorative
ideas.
Lamp decorations can be used for both the ceremony and the
reception. Lamps create a warm feeling to a wedding. They are
sophisticated and artsy and guests will love feeling like they are
cozying up on the sofa with their friends to watch a beautiful
ceremony. They certainly work best for evening weddings.
Brides can transform basic lampshades into lovely pieces of art to
use in their wedding. To create an artsy lampshade, simply remove
the shade from the lamp. Use a glue gun to glue ribbon or other
accessories around the outer bottom edge of the shade.
Brides can use whatever they like to decorate the shade. Ribbon with
beading attached to it works beautifully. When attached, the beads
hang down from the shade, glowing in the light. Sequin or gemstones
also work well. This is an easy way for brides to tie the lamps into
their wedding colors or theme.
The best lamps to use for a wedding ceremony are tall lamps with
traditional A-frame shades. A soft yellow bulb will create a
romantic lighting for your wedding ceremony. Other lamps appropriate
for the ceremony include oriental themed lamps.
One style of oriental lamp that is particularly fashionable is the
tall rice paper lamp. The lamps stand about five feet tall and the
shade, made of rice paper, extends for the complete height of the
lamp.
Tall lamps are great for the outside aisles of the seating area.
Brides can place a tall lamp at the end of each aisle. It is best to
keep them away from the center so no one trips over the cords.
Electrical cords should be hidden as much as possible to prevent
accidents. These lamps can also be placed near the front and rear of
the ceremony location.
For a wonderful centerpiece idea, consider using mini lamps. These
small lamps can come in many heights and styles. Victorian style
“reading” lamps work great for weddings. If you do not have the
means to run electrical cords to each table, consider the faux
candle lamps. These faux lamps emit their glow due to tea light
candles. They are adorable and low-cost to use for your reception.
Lamps add a creative flair to your wedding. They are pleasing to the
eye and will make your guests feel completely at home. They offer a
friendly ambience that guests will cherish. Using these wedding
decor ideas, you are sure to create wonderful pieces of art to use
during your wedding.
