I saw Adam Frank’s LUMEN candles early last year, and although I wanted desperately to buy them, I didn’t have a blank wall to bounce the shadows upon. However, can you imagine the amazing effect this would produce on a plain reception room wall! Each candle burns for 17-hours and they are $48 each, a bargain compared to hiring a lighting designer for a similar effect.
Oh that is so awesome, I will have to look into that!!
Gorgeous and stunning yet simple effect! Oh I would have so used this in my wedding!
I bet this could be DIY’d…just have to figure out how.
If I finish all my KC projects early I may give this a shot 
Very unique and artful…that would create an amazing mood with the appropriate (fall?) wedding!
I received one of these (specifically the one with the birds) as a gift. While it is really cool, you basically would need pitch blackness to get a really strong shadow. It doesn’t really make a great shadow even when I have all the lights out in my NYC apartment b/c of the outside light coming in through the window. So I don’t think it would work that well in a reception room. They are cool and I look forward to using it when I live somewhere darker!
i was just going to say what ajf said.
a small little tealight/candle won’t cast a shadow if theres ambiant light in the room. so mostly likely won’t work for a wedding reception unless you have uplights directed at it or something.
It is not a tealight…
It is an oil lamp.

Funnily enough, it was their wedding issue too!
[...] discovered these awesome lumenaries through the SocialDesign blog, and Miss Lemon also blogged about them earlier this year. They cost $48 each and achieve a more interesting effect with light [...]

Mrs. Lemon, Los Angeles/Monterey Age and Occupation in 2006: 26, Graduate Student (Public Policy) Fiance's Age and Occupation in 2006: 29, Environmental Consultant Engagement Date: April 7, 2006 Wedding Date: July 7, 2007 Venue: Rosary Chapel & Monterey Marriott, Monterey, CA About Me: My FI and I met online, but we like to tell people that we met at a "cookie shop" which is the technical location of our first encounter. He proposed exactly 1 year, 1 month and 6 days after our first date (it's the only part of his proposal speech that I remember), and we're planning long-distance from Los Angeles for a July wedding in my hometown of Monterey, CA. I have a passion for all things "cool, cute and quirky" and I enjoy video games, reading blogs (WeddingBee, trashy celeb, consumer & political) and crafting in my spare time, if I have any!
