Wedding Reception Details: MoodLighting Hunting

So I have been busy hunting for mood lighting suppliers or should I say lights & sounds suppliers. I got a huge lists of suppliers from eventpilipinas.com & weddings at works.

Moodlighting is a big thing for the reception (but not all) 1. because we only have few flowers as centerpiece. 2. there will be no curtain on the wall for the vip table 3. I want to have a winter feel in the venue and lighting effects can change how the room feels or looks like.

Sample:

This is me at Suntec, palaboy mode. As you can see, nilagyan lang ng led strip light ang gilid ng wall pero nagiging dramatic ang effect.

Mga ilaw sa isang conference room sa Suntec. The lights are controlled by dimming controller. 

Above sample naggawa ng lighting effects. Lighting is an element of design that can change how a person feels. Light/lighting is an element of design which is not only use for visual comfort (for you to see) but to also get predetermined responses from the lighted ambience. For example, sa office usually dapat bright lights para gising ang mga nag tratrabaho. Kapag gusto mo ng tahimik na mode, then babawasan mo ang intensity ng ilaw. So ganun, the quality of lighting affects the behavior of the person as well as the impression. Besides dun, it also enhances the aesthetics  of the room.


Here are some samples how mood lighting changes the look of the reception venue:

By the way, I just took the pictures above online.

So ayun I'm busy hunting for lighting suppliers. Actually quotations plang muna hinihingi ko. Since duo ang magbibigay ng entertainment you have to mention with the suppliers kung ano ang needed sa kasal sa entertainment part. Kasi may ibang suppliers na nagbibigay ng sobrang equipment na hindi naman masyado ng kailangan sa kasal. Then, yung iba nman nag bibigay ng konteng lightings lang. So ayun, mas okay na compare and compare..

Ang mga nakukuha kong quotations ngayon is from 10K to 21K; so yun ang range ng rental services ng lights & sounds for wedding receptions sa ngayon + suppliers meal.

Reception Detail: DIY Ring Napkin

I have decided to make a DIY ring napkin for my big day.

DIY Silver Mesh Napkin

This goes along with the menu card and with the theme (winter / starry theme)

I will be using silver mesh wrap which I bought for only 22USD for 10 yards. Take note, I will also use this mesh for my DIY Menu Card .

Silver Mesh Wrap

I cut the mesh into 5 rows (for 1.4" diameter ring napkin). Using double sided tape I taped both ends.

3 Row Ring Mesh Napkin

 Just as easy as that you already have your own Ring  Napkin without breaking the bank. By the way, if you are wondering how much is the price one this kind of ring napkin you may check out amazon. One with velcro is around $0.80 per piece. The 100 pieces secured with hot glue is around $32.00 

I was able to make 170 pieces of Silver Ring Napkin for 22USD. Plus, I still have extra silver mesh wrap for my other DIY's like place cards, menu cards, etc.

 UPDATE:

Here's what it looked like in the actual set-up.
