Setting the Mood With Outdoor String Lights for Events
String lights provide versatile lighting solutions for events such as wedding receptions, backyard barbecues, garden parties, and more. The team at Landscape Lighting Guys assists with the setup process for your outdoor string lights and will customize them according to your goals. Here is more information about setting the mood with string lights, whether for special events or everyday enjoyment:
Selecting Your String Lights
Different types of outdoor string lights complement varying environments. Fairy lights consist of tiny, delicate bulbs on a thin wire; this lighting type can be used at a wedding reception to create a subtle sparkling effect ideal for intimate events. Globe lights are round bulbs that many people use in their backyard, strung across a pergola or attached to the roof. They provide cozy lighting for backyard barbeques and relaxed dinners. Edison bulbs are larger, vintage-looking lights that complement barns or wooden structures. Individuals who want their wedding, baby shower, or work event to have a rustic look can use these lights. Choose string lights that match your outdoor aesthetic or the theme of your event.
Exploring Hanging Techniques
Before placing your lighting outdoors, an installation team visits your property to evaluate it and discuss design ideas. They can hang the lights from poles, tents, pergolas, and more. Professionals also make sure that the lighting highlights specific features like dining areas or lounge spaces. For special events, you may want to use string lights to draw attention to areas like tables or dance floors.
Professionals are familiar with different types of draping techniques, whether you want a zig-zag or a canopy effect. Each outdoor space is unique, requiring different solutions and setup styles. Lighting installation teams emphasize visual appeal, functionality, and safety. The result is an aesthetically pleasing environment that helps set the mood for any occasion.
Combining With Other Lighting Types
Sting lights can be combined with other outdoor lighting to provide layered illumination. If you frequently host backyard events or spend a lot of time outdoors, investing in permanent light installations helps make setup easier. You also gain access to functional, long-lasting lighting solutions. The lighting also helps define different zones, such as dining and play areas, so your outdoor area offers versatility for various activities.
Professionals are able to add solutions like deck, pathway, and water feature lighting. Deck lighting helps to make your outdoor space feel larger, as it connects different areas of your backyard. Pathway lighting helps guide homeowners and visitors from one area to another; well-illuminated walkways help prevent trip-and-fall accidents.
Water feature lighting illuminates areas like fountains, ponds, or waterfalls. A lit water feature during an event can serve as a fun decoration where guests gather to take photos. It also highlights the different architectural features in your outdoor space, making your yard feel larger and more layered.
