Uplighting Dilemma

I'm even in the debate if I need uplighting at all! I've seen pictures of my venue with and without and they are both gorgeous! What about a gold/champagne color if it is available?

Why are you considering uplighting? Uplighting can be useful in some venues, but it does give a "club" atmosphere. If that's what you want, uplighting doesn't have to match your wedding colors. Choose whatever flatters the architecture of your venue.

I don't like colorful uplighting. It reminds me of high school dances and the like. If we have any, it will just be white lights.

Amber will give warmth without too much color. My colors are pretty much the same--burgundy, pink and gold and I think that will work. My dj is providing the uplighting and he had a room to show us colors.

Wash or "up" lighting on the walls give the room perimeter your pink tone as well as "bulb" lighting that goes across the floor (my beau works in a theater and does lighting). There is also "pin" lighting which would go overhead the tables clipped to ceiling or chandelier. Gobo is having your name in lights on a wall or on the dance floor. Bunch of other options as well, but these are the main ones.

Our colors were burgundy & blush, and we used amber uplighting. It looked like the room was lit up with candles.

I chose not to go with uplighting because I felt it would clash with our colors and take away from the beautiful chandeliers that our venue has. Uplighting is definitely not necessary.

I love uplighting! And will definitely have at our wedding, but just for when the dancing starts after dinner; I think it would be kind of weird to having during because it might give off a club vibe. Anyways our colors are black, white, and magenta and I'm thinking purple uplighting for us...

But I think amber would look awesome for yours!

I love uplighting, if done right. Our hall is not huge and pretty dark already.. we are using a gobo instead on the dancefloor.

Thanks for all of your input! I'm definitely considering the amber color since I wanted that "romantic" candlelit look. I would save a penny not using uplighting at all, however the venue wall color doesn't match out color scheme so we are trying to mask that. Thanks again

Our wedding colors are blue and white, but I feel like blue uplighting will be too "clubby" so if we do it we will go with amber I think. Our venue has an old Eurpoean vibe architecturally and I think colors are too much

I was between a blush pink and amber for uplighting and decided to tell the DJs to do blush pink. I said "not hot pink, a very light, soft pink" - from my photos it almost looks purple. I didn't notice that day though. I noticed 2 months later when the photos came back. My vote is for amber.

I have the similar colors for my wedding, wine, navy, ivory and gold. My DJ recommended amber uplighting so it isn't too intense. He knows my venue, as he's a preferred vendor.

Discuss with your venue and your entertainment company what they think it's best, based on venue style and color scheme.

We did amber uplighting. It was very neutral and didn't give off a club vibe at all. Our vendor had several pictures they showed us so we could get a sense of what it looked like.

We also did amber. It gave more of a candle glow color that complimented our navy/white/gold color scheme.

Colored uplighting makes me think of a club.

I am trying to decide if we will use uplighting at all. I think it looks cool and can help transition from to dinner to dancing, but I hate the way it looks in photos sometimes. I especially hate the bright pink, it looks like Pepto Bismol. I think in a venue that is kind of a blank slate it can add a lot, but we are in a historic hotel ballroom, I'm not sure I want to take away from that. I do like the amber, it is a color we considered, but the amount they charge for that service is kind of ridiculous. Obviously we are still on the fence. lol

We are doing just plain uplighting as well. Our colors are white and gold.
