Nashville wedding & special event lighting.

Hosting special events to acknowledge and celebrate the important people and milestones of your life brings abundant personal joy. You work hard planning out all the details for the big events and the small ones, like weddings, graduations, birthdays, family reunions, job promotions and even fundraising events for your favorite charity, club or organization. You pick the when and where, the food, the music, the photographer, the color scheme and decorations…but what about the lighting? Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville provides temporary lighting for all your outdoor (and indoor) events you have planned.

Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville used special event festoon lighting to add romance to this wedding held inside Huston Station in downtown Nashville.

For an outdoor party you can extend your “party” space with our special event lighting. With the right lighting your guests can spread out into more of your back yard beyond the deck or patio. Our temporary special event lighting (as well as our permanent landscape and garden lighting designs) provide ambiance and make your back yard come to life after nightfall. It opens up plenty of additional space for your guests to circulate more easily and feel more comfortable. Lighting extended areas will encourage guests to use the areas beyond your primary location adding space to your event location.

Temporary LED lighting fixtures in Nashville

We have a variety of outdoor lighting fixtures available for temporary use or permanent installation. Our fixtures are also available in LED.

When hosting an outdoor event, safety is always an important consideration especially in the evening. Backyard terrains are grassy and often uneven, which can sometimes make sure footing uncertain. Without the proper lighting, your nighttime event mixed with high heel shoes and guests engaged in conversation as they stroll, opportunities for disaster are sure to arise. Make these areas safe for all guests (even those in heels) with ambient light for your grassy areas, gravel paths and cobbled surfaces. Proper illumination of the entry path and the party will not only enhance the safety of your event, but it will set the mood as well, making it an enjoyable evening for all.

What is a special event without pictures? How many times have you been heartbroken over candid photos of your family gathering or birthday party that weren’t taken in a properly lit area? Those are missed moments that you can’t get back. Whether you’re hiring a professional photographer, or have everyone using their cell phone cameras to snap lots of candid shots throughout the party, the right lighting is essential for getting it all on film with good color and clear faces full of expression.

Memorial Day is right around the corner!

No matter how elaborate or simple your gathering, be it a fully catered cocktail party for your best friend’s engagement or a family reunion barbeque with relatives you haven’t seen in years, our special event lighting will ensure your party venue is awash in excellent photo-op spots. You’ll have plenty of light to capture the vignettes of love and laughter in memory rich photos that you and your family can enjoy well after the party remnants are all cleaned up.

Don’t let the lack of proper lighting throughout your event venue limit your party space, reduce your guest’s safety or prevent you from getting all the special memories of the occasion on film. Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville specializes in special event lighting and residential and commercial outdoor lighting. Whether you choose an indoor or outdoor venue, our custom designed special event lighting will ensure your social gathering is memorable. Our large selection of fixtures, including festival lighting and LED lighting combined with our experience in utilizing unique lighting techniques enable us to create an atmosphere that enriches the overall experience for you and your guests during your perfectly planned milestone event.

How saying “I Do” takes on a whole new light: Nashville special event lighting for the June bride

Posted on May 29, 2014 by outdoorlightingnashville

Say “I Do” to our special event lighting for your special day!

Outdoor Lighting Perspectives lights Houston Station

Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville used special event festoon lighting to add romance to this wedding held at Huston Station in downtown Nashville.

A crucial part of creating romance and a memorable atmosphere to look back on and cherish for years to come is the manner in which you design your wedding venue. In order to convey a theme, or personal style of the bride and groom every facet of your nuptials takes planning. This can be to the color of the paper goods used at your reception, to the blooms you choose for you floral arrangements, bouquets and centerpieces and even the band you book to play your reception. As part of this planning, never overlook the role proper lighting can play in the enjoyment and success of your wedding.

Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville provides temporary lighting for events and special occasions such as weddings, outdoor proms, graduation and birthday celebrations, family reunions and other outdoor (and indoor) events you have planned.

You’ve probably considered the benefits proper lighting for your event will provide, as well as the downfall of not having lighting. With this in mind, here is some food for thought:

Lighting extended areas will allow guests to use the areas beyond your primary event location.

The right lighting can add space: That’s right — One thing our customers tell us time and time again is how much more they and their guests use their back yards once they add permanent outdoor lighting. “It’s like that part of my yard didn’t existing at night because it’s not lit up at night”. For an outdoor party, this is even more important consideration. You don’t want your guests on top of each other when there’s plenty of room just begging for illumination. Proper lighting can really open up that area for use and allow guests to “spread out in the space” comfortably. Consider an outdoor event under a tent. If only the tented area is illuminated, everyone will stay under the tent. But, perhaps there’s an adjacent gazebo or patio which could double as a dance floor. Lighting extended areas will encourage guests to use the areas beyond your primary location adding space to your event location.

The right lighting can enhance safety: Safety is always an important consideration when hosting an outdoor event, especially in the evening. Grassy areas can hold numerous pitfalls that can make sure footing difficult. Then,add the darkness of night, and high heel shoes to the equation and without proper lighting you have a recipe for disaster! With proper lighting, traversing grass, gravel paths and bumpy surfaces such as a cobbled walkway (even in heels) can be made safe. Proper illumination of the entry path and the party will enhance the safety and ultimate enjoyment of all your guests in the evening. Lighting will ensure your event goes off without a hitch!

Romance is in the air – have you thought about the lighting for your special day yet?

The right lighting enhances evening photography: Maybe you haven’t considered the impact a darkened venue or landscape will have on the quality of your wedding photography. But the lighting can impact the quality of those pictures you will hold dear for an entire lifetime. Good outdoor lighting renders colors and images in a way similar to how they are seen during the day. If it’s a wedding, imagine the difference between outdoor evening photos with good illumination and without. The same applies if you’re hosting a graduation party or family reunion and likely won’t see those relatives in attendance again for many years, you want to capture all of the moments that will turn into memories. Good lighting will help make this possible!

Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville specializes in special event lighting, including wedding lighting, and permanent landscape and festival lighting. Whether you choose an indoor venue, or an outdoor wedding our special event lighting will ensure your wedding day is memorable. Our large selection of fixtures, including festival lighting and LED lighting combine with our experience in utilizing unique lighting techniques enable us to create an atmosphere that embraces beautiful beginnings and happily-ever-after’s.

Learn how our Nashville festival lighting can transfrom your backyard into pure enchantment every night!

Festival Orb lighting used at Arrington Vineyards in Arrington, TN.

You have probably seen festival lighting the last time you flipped through the pages of an upscale home & garden magazine. Festival lighting is all the rage for homeowners wanting to add ambiance in their outdoor settings. This style of lighting is one of the most unique and versatile lighting trends customers are requesting. Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville embraces emerging outdoor lighting ideas and new ways to introduce not only illumination into an area, but also as a way to convey a feeling of a mood within a space.

Festoon Lighting by Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville.

Festival lighting originated as a way to light outdoor areas in honor of outdoor celebrations. Street festivals and fairs filled with music and merriment were often draped in lights for an evening or two to commemorate a significant local event and removed at festivals end. Permanent festival lighting takes this dramatic lighting effect to a new level because the lighting is permanent which allows you to indulge in its appeal every night. Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville has completed permanent festival lighting installations here in the Nashville area in residential and commercial settings for many happy customers. Calls continue to pour in as more business owners and homeowners are requesting this unique lighting for their backyards, outdoor living spaces and commercial storefronts.

Festival lighting in this courtyard turned it from a dark, plain space into something magical.

Keep in mind, though similar in nature, all festival lighting is not the same. Generally festival lighting falls into two categories, orb or pendant lighting and festoon lighting. Each genre of permanent festival lighting has its own distinct beauty and style and we offer our customers the choice of either LED or incandescent permanent festival lighting. This is also available in white (clear), and multiple colors. In addition the bulbs can be changed out to honor a special occasion or as a way to change the mood of the area you are illuminating. The creative options are endless with festival outdoor lighting.

Festival lighting creates the perfect place for gathering and entertaining.

Festoon Lighting

Festoon lighting is a great way to illuminate a difficult or overlooked outdoor area in your landscape, or transform a courtyard or patio at your business into a spot begging the attention of patrons Festoon lighting is also a romantic and imaginative lighting technique that works well in covered patios, porches, outdoor living structures or draped in waves within a designated spot in your landscape.

Here is a picture of the same courtyard during the day.

We use multiple strands of low-voltage LED or incandescent festoon lights and string them over the span of the area we are illuminating. We use cable to support the weight of the electrical wiring when we install permanent festival lighting over an area with a large span; this ensures the safety and the integrity of the system. We use commercial-grade lighting products and professional installation to achieve this hypnotic lighting effect. Festoon lighting comes in both clear (white), and multiple colors to choose from.

Orb Lighting

Permanent festival lighting, such as orb lighting, also comes in a host of colors.

Permanent festival lighting, such as orb lighting, comes in a host of lively colors.

Orb lighting lends an ethereal quality to any outdoor area where it is installed. Orbs give the appearance of being “free-floating”. These lights come in 10″, 12″ and 16″ and are available in white, colored as well as clear acrylic. The effect these lights add to an outdoor setting is enchanting. Though these lights are contemporary in design they look great in both rural and urban themed settings. Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville has installed orb festival lighting in both residential and commercial settings. One memorable installation of orb lighting took us to the beautiful Arrington Vineyards in Arrington, TN. The addition of orb lighting made this already magical property even more so in the evening with this unique lighting technique. Can’t you just imagine enjoying a glass of wine under the Nashville night sky lit by the ambiance of orb lighting — priceless.

Romance is in the air – have you thought about the lighting for your special day yet?

Nothing is more memorable than your wedding day. It signifies the beginning to a new chapter in your life. When it comes to choosing the venue for your wedding, times have changed. With the wedding season underway, more brides are opting for outdoor weddings and wedding venues that take the traditional ceremony to a whole new level. Part of the reason for choosing a setting that is less traditional is the freedom it allows for self-expression in designing and setting the mood for your special event. A crucial part of creating romance and a memorable atmosphere to look back on and cherish for years to come is the manner in which you design your wedding venue. In order to convey a theme, or personal style of the bride and groom every facet of your wedding takes planning. This can be to the color of the tablecloths used at your reception, to the hues you choose for you floral arrangements, bouquets and centerpieces and even the band you book to play at your reception. As part of this planning, never overlook the importance of lighting and the role it can play to the success of your wedding.

Can you imagine saying ” I do” in this storybook outdoor setting?

As you peak into some of our most well received lighting applications that we use for weddings, you will notice the impetus our lighting has in creating soft washes of light that emphasize the area or item being illuminated and not the other way around. Any well-appointed wedding lighting design is created with an air of mystery which takes the focus off the source of the light itself. A good example of special event lighting done right is our recent installation we completed at Huston Station in downtown Nashville. We used a combination of many different lighting elements such as down lighting from the rafters, LED copper event lighting, and temporary battery-powered LED up lights. We also use a diverse selection of various lighting fixtures to enhance your special event.

We use unique lighting elements such as these globe lights which come in a side variety of colors.

Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville instilsl the use of up lighting and down lighting when installing lighting for both indoor and outdoor weddings. Up-lighting on a tent or on the outside of a home can warm up any event. When we use up lighting for a special event we use wireless well lights so your guests won’t trip on any wires. Colored gels can be placed under the lens cover to match your décor and alter the mood. Globe lighting is also a viable lighting option and looks enchanting hung from trees surrounding your outdoor wedding and reception. Globe lighting (also called orb lighting) comes in a wide variety of colors to add whimsy and fun to your event as well as white for an elegant storybook effect. We also use path lighting in outdoor weddings for the safety of your guests.
