Oh, the places you’ll go — a look into the notable locations we are lighting in and around Nashville:

Posted on November 10, 2014 by outdoorlightingnashville

Orb lighting used at Arrington Vineyards in Arrington TN

Festival lighting installed at Arrington Vineyards in Arrington, TN.

It is usually a no-brainer when someone mentions Nashville the image that flashes in your mind is a guitar-holding, cowboy hat wearing musician, hard-working and hungry to be at the right place at the right time. After all, this is Music City, the place where dreams come true. Nashville is steeped in music history, being home to the Grand Ole’ Opry and noted as the birthplace of country music. Nashville has evolved to become the “go to” destination from nearly every walk of life for a myriad of reasons in addition to our musical roots.

Being in the midst of Nashville’s evolution into a top-notch city has made our business very interesting. Of course, we have designed and installed outdoor lighting for many of the top musical artists that reside in, and around Nashville. Although we cannot name any names as to ensure their privacy, it is exciting to see who answers the door sometimes when we come to call!

Our commercial outdoor lighting service is filled with just as much intrigue as our residential installations. Having the opportunity to transform and beautify some of the most popular locations in the area is quite humbling. Each time I reflect on the well-known places where we have installed lighting that are often in the spotlight (no pun intended), it reminds me of the famous Dr. Seuss book, “Oh the Places You’ll Go.” When we began Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville over 25 years ago, we never would have imagined the places we would go — literally. With this in mind, here is a look at just a few of the well-known locations where we have worked magic with the addition of outdoor lighting:

The Country Music Hall of Fame: The Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum is operated by the non-profit, educational Country Music Foundation® (CMF). The mission of the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum is to identify and preserve the evolving history and traditions of country music and to educate its audiences. The location of the venue adds a strikingly modern touch to the Nashville skyline, and Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville enhanced the majesty of this location with the addition of outdoor lighting!

The Loveless Cafe: You simply cannot visit Nashville without planning a visit to this iconic eatery. The Loveless’ biscuits are so loved that they have earned mention on their T-shirts! The Loveless has been a fixture in the Nashville area for over sixty years. With a diverse history, the cafe serves up true Southern staples like fried chicken, country ham and, of course, those mouth-watering biscuits. Since its beginning in the 1940’s, the cafe has evolved to include The Loveless Barn ,which is a 4,800 sq. ft. venue that has become the trendiest place around for large-scale events, parties and even weddings. The Loveless Barn is also home to Music City Roots: Live from the Loveless Cafe which is filmed and recorded there every Wednesday.

Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville provided the lovely holiday lighting for the Loveless last year, and is honored to provide it again this year. The venue plans to kick off the season at their Bright Lights & Biscuits event set to kick off on November 17th! This year’s holiday lighting promised to be even more enchanting!

The Gulch: The Gulch is known among Nashville’s residents to be one of the trendiest and “hippest” neighborhoods around. Not only is The Gulch a popular destination for locals, college students and visitors, it is the first neighborhood in the South to be deemed an LEED certified green neighborhood! The area is packed with urban appeal including office space, retails shops, restaurants, new and renovated buildings and a residential area. You may have even see the Gulch featured in a recent episode of the hit show Nashville!

Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville has provided outdoor lighting at many of the trendiest locations within The Gulch. During the past holiday season we adorned all of the light poles within this unforgettable location with bows and garlands in honor of the holiday season. We also installed permanent festival lighting along the corridors of the Gulch, making it come to life!

Arrington Vineyards: Since 2007, Arrington Vineyards has been providing a true “wine country experience” of award-winning wines set among the picturesque rolling hills of middle Tennessee. Owned by country music artist Kix Brooks, winemaker Kip Summers, and entrepreneur John Russell, Arrington Vineyards has truly become “Nashville’s Wine Country”.

Orb Lighting at Arrington Vineyards by Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville.

Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville was honored to play a part in making this venue more enchanting by installing permanent orb lighting within the trees located on the property. The addition of orb lighting has made Arrington Vineyards breathtaking in the evening under the spell of this unique lighting technique.

Lighting the Christmas tree at the capital in Nashville: Last but certainly not least, we have lit the Christmas tree at the capital located in downtown Nashville two years running, 2012 & 2013. Stay tuned for the exciting details of this year’s tree!

It goes without saying, we are very proud of the opportunity to experience so many wonderful places, and meet so many new faces, all over Nashville and the surrounding area!

Watch how we made the Loveless Cafe even lovelier in honor of the holidays!

Holiday lighting adorns the entry of the Loveless Cafe and welcomes patrons with open arms!

This image shows Outdoor Lighting Perspectives preparing the tree to showcase at the Loveless Barn.

As the Nashville area’s premier outdoor lighting company, we have been very busy the past few months getting some of the most beloved locales in the area adorned with holiday lights in honor of the season. From adding holiday cheer in The Gulch, to being bestowed the honor of designing and lighting The Capital tree for the second consecutive year, we can now look back and enjoy the fruits of our labor! This year, we were also asked to design and install the holiday lighting for the well-known Loveless Cafe.

The Loveless Cafe is a Nashville hot spot that is steeped in history. The Loveless has been a fixture in the Nashville area for over sixty years. With a diverse history, the cafe serves up true Southern staples like fried chicken, country ham and biscuits. Since its beginning in the 1940’s, the cafe has evolved to include The Loveless Barn ,which is a 4,800 sq. ft. venue that has become the trendiest place around for large-scale events, parties and even weddings. The Loveless Barn is also home to Music City Roots: Live from the Loveless Cafe which is filmed and recorded there every Wednesday.

The lighted garland tree overlooks the Loveless Barn.

As if it was even possible to make the Loveless Cafe even lovelier in honor of the holidays, we did! As part of this stunning holiday lighting design we installed a 25-foot garland tree and adorned it with lighted starbursts, mini-lights and iconic C7 LED lights. We also installed a retro-inspired mix of holiday lighting around the cafe itself, including roofline lights, wrapped tree lighting and various lighted starbursts. The completed project is nothing short of magical!

Our talented holiday lighting designers outdid themselves by putting together a timeless outdoor holiday lighting plan for this beloved landmark that is steeped in nostalgia and fun. We encourage everyone to stop by the Loveless Cafe during the holidays to take in all the goodness this venue has to offer, and all the lovely holiday lighting that is sure to please patrons young and old!

The gift of light outdoor holiday lighting

Don’t miss out on the magic of outdoor holiday lighting for the upcoming season.

When it comes to making decisions about choosing the colors used in your holiday decor each year, do you think with your heart or your head? Holiday decorating, and especially holiday lighting, is a realm of design with the sole purpose of heightening the senses and adding beauty to your surroundings. Not only is holiday lighting a visual experience, it can also trigger happiness and joy by conjuring up memories and nostalgia of Christmases past. Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville offers holiday lighting customers a large selection of traditional inspired lighting designs. We also specialize in staying on trend with bold outdoor lighting designs that make you think outside of the box.

Here at Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville, elegant white and clear outdoor lighting is among our most requested for the holidays. Customers love the simplicity and refined elegance that comes from using white and clear lights in their holiday display. Many homeowners are apprehensive about adding color to their holiday display because they cannot visualize their outdoor lighting display using colors.

One of our most popular holiday lighting colors is white, but there is much to be said about adding colors to your display too!

Research indicates that visual thinking is common in approximately 60%–65% of the population. Visual thinking is the phenomenon of thinking through visual processing, which includes being able envision design ideas while they are in the planning phase. Many homeowners are reluctant to make the leap from the holiday lighting they have grown accustomed to and go for the gusto when it comes by using bold colors for this very reason. We have had great success by adding colored holiday lights to our displays over the years. Just by adding a singular colored signature tree, or a group of balancing lit trees to your display you can make your landscape really stand out. As part of our outdoor holiday lighting program, our designers can provide examples of how much your display could benefit from adding color. Our talented staff can help you decide the color that best suits your individual landscape and personal tastes. Maybe you have a favorite holiday hue in mind and are “on the fence” about moving forward — Maybe you have no idea where to begin — Choosing the right color can be a very personal choice, and to better help with your outdoor lighting selection we have put together a checklist of what your favorite color says about you. This information will help in deciding the best color addition for your holiday lighting display.

This majestic home is lit with red along the home’s entry to add drama for the holidays.

What your favorite holiday color says about you

Red- the attention getter – This classic color is the epitome of Christmas, from being the dominant color of candy canes and Santa’s suit and who ever heard of Rudolph the green nosed reindeer? Using the color red in your holiday lighting display ignites excitement and gets attention. Red is known as the color of energy and the symbol of life. It evokes strength, power, and creates a visual impact. Using red can cause onlookers to stop and look at your holiday display in the same manner a traffic light causes us to halt when it turns red.
This wrapped tree lighting done in blue lights is mesmerizing .
Blue- the color of snow – Overall, blue is a calming, restful color and is the first color that comes to mind when you envision a winter wonderland. Blue is associated with serenity which makes it a perfect holiday lighting color choice to create a tranquil lighting display.
Green- the equalizer – Green is located at the center of the color spectrum and is considered the color of balance and restoration. Green is the color we associate with nature, making it a solid choice for a holiday lighting color for use outdoors. Green is also a calming color and is associated with hope, generosity and peace. By using green you can add balance and harmony to your Christmas lighting.
This display features a signature tree in blue holiday lights.
Purple – the royal color – Purple is known as the color of royalty and is associated with prosperity, wisdom, and sophistication. If you want to add drama to your holiday lighting display, try using purple. Using this hue can also evoke meditation and spiritual awareness making it the Zen choice in Christmas lighting.
White – elegance and innocence – This classic holiday lighting color is a symbol of purity and innocence. White lends itself to simplicity and freshness when used in a lighting display. The perfect color for emulating the look of a white Christmas, even if you lack the snow!

No matter what holiday color strikes your fancy, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives will custom design your display to suit both your tastes and your home’s architecture. Our professional lighting designer will upload an image of your home onto his or her laptop computer where you and the designer will work side-by-side during an in-home design consultation to create just the right look for your home.

This commercial holiday lighting display combines holiday tree lighting with festoon lighting for an enchanting effect.

We are getting in gear for a busy holiday lighting season here at Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville. As the phone rings, the roster has begun to fill up for both residential and commercial slots for our holiday lighting program. As an integral part of our holiday lighting program, you get to work alongside one of our professional lighting designers during your consultation to create just the right holiday look for your home or business. As we have started the consulting phase for many of our commercial holiday lighting customers, we have begun to see a trend among business owners as to what kind of holiday lighting designs are drawing the most attention.

While our huge selection of elegant commercial holiday lighting designs are always a crowd pleaser, many of our commercial customers are opting for a more permanent approach to holiday lighting by utilizing our year-round permanent festival lighting designs. Our permanent festival lighting is based on the same principles of promoting ambiance at your storefront or place of business to make it stand out from the ordinary and enliven character. Permanent commercial outdoor lighting and festival lighting is an attention grabber and makes patrons give your place of business a second look, and makes their visit more memorable.

Permanent festoon lighting by Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville at The Gulch.

Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville recently completed a stunning installation of permanent holiday festival lighting in the popular Nashville area known as “The Gulch“. This area is located on the South-West fringe of Nashville between Music Row and downtown and is a haven for urban residential living and commercial hot spots. For this particular installation we used festoon styled outdoor lighting which mimics the look of outdoor lighting found in European street cafes. Festoon lighting is installed via a suspension wire to ensure the stability and safety of the lighting for use on a permanent basis. Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville makes certain that each of our permanent commercial holiday lighting displays is installed with safety in mind, and meets or even exceeds all required codes for commercial lighting installations. The results from our project at the Gulch are awe-inspiring and the clients are elated with the finished product.

Roofline lights are still popular among commercial customers in Nashville during the holidays and beyond.

Along with the rising popularity of permanent holiday lighting designs for commercial venues, traditional holiday lighting is still in high demand. With fourth-quarter being the most crucial time of the year for many retail businesses, having the added benefit of brilliant holiday lighting to draw customers in and linger is a huge plus. Having your business lit for the holidays will also boost employee morale because getting everyone in the holiday state of mind will boost productivity and thus, boost sales! Our commercial holiday lighting program includes tree lighting, facade lighting, roofline lighting, and installing lighted wreathsof all sizes at your business. Some of our top-selling outdoor lighting commercial products include Christmas strands of all colors including LED C9 string lights and lighted garland. Another benefit of our commerical holiday lighting program is the way it was designed to make it easy for commercial businesses. We do everything from designing and installing the lights at your desired time to taking them down and storing them for you after the holidays. We realize that the holiday season is already full of deadlines, paperwork and other expectations that have to be completed by year’s end, our holiday lighting program will take the chore of having to worry about holiday decorating at your place of business altogether- just relax and let Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Nashville do it for you!
