Easy Ways To Add Ambience To Your Wedding Reception

Ambience is the key to the perfect reception. It defines how the evening will go, what your guests will experience and, most importantly, it showcases your personalities. One of the easiest and most budget-friendly ways to add ambience is through lighting. Regardless of your theme, colour choice, venue or budget, creating ambience threw light couldn’t be simpler. With candlelight guaranteeing the WOW factor every time, we’ve put together a few ideas we know will inspire you.
