Let there be light!

Great lighting can be positively transformative to any event. It can make a raw space glow and pulse like a chic European lounge, turn an outdoor patio party into a glittering escape or transform a large cold space, like a hotel ballroom, into a warm, inviting and sophisticated setting for any sized soiree.

Thanks to DIY websites and bloggers, many party planners (whether pros or not), are taking matters into their own hands with creative lighting options. Professional event rental and décor companies, like yours truly, are amping up their selections to include amazing decorative lighting for events of all sizes and helping their clients shine!

DIY at Home
The Jones’s will never be able to keep up with your creativity with DIY lighting projects like pendant lighting made from recycled cheese graters or spray painted “lace” light bulbs.




Uplighting is Important
Ever wonder how a ballroom could glow purple, or how a raw construction site ended up looking like an ultra lounge for a special event? The answer is great uplighting! Uplighting is an important element- especially if you are planning for an event that requires “atmosphere” or events in large spaces.  Uplighting can also set fabrics and linens aglow – ask us which linens work best with your color uplights and Mosaic can help you customize materials that will make the most dramatic impact.
