I’m Soooo Excited and I Just Can’t Hide It

I have been getting a bunch of bids from various lighting and event companies in the Dallas area, and I think I’ve found -the one! Although they’re not the cheapest, I feel better about booking them because of their great portfolio and the glowing recommendations I got from other brides and my coordinator!

When I talked to one of the owners today on the phone, he kept coming up with all of these great ideas and I am already envisioning what it will be like. So far, we’ve come up with pinspotting of the tall centerpieces, color-washing the walls with creams, ambers, and blues (our wedding colors), adding ivory asian lanterns to the outside patio and uplighting outside of the glass wall with steel blue lighting and shining up into the lanterns - I can’t wait! It’s going to be absolutely amazing!!! I think it will look fabulous!

I’ll give more details once I sign a contract - don’t want anyone to book my date, ya know! Planning a wedding can be vicious sport! (I’ve already lost 1 vendor to another bride! )
