Whatever your style, illuminate your love with playful touches. An outdoor, waterfront venue is upgraded to elegant style with themed lamps. Start with crystal based lights, add some funky pineapple finials, and trim the shades with flowers that match your tablescape. Keep your look unified and composed with complementary colors and familiar fragrances. Think roses! Congenial colors, loads of luxury, sensuous scents.

Incorporate Flowers and Lighting For Unique Style

Create an endlessly glamorous and highly dramatic centerpiece by combining lights and dangling florals. Instead of settling for pillars and votives, drape the shades of tall table lamps with your personal hanging garden. Choose a cohesive color scheme and then mix it up.

Top one stand with white ranunculus, streaming with ivory orchids and crystals. A cap of classic calla lilies looks grand with a cascade of freesias, lilies of the valley and touches of passion vine. Once your lamps are lit, the resulting luminosity will bring out the scent of your blooms.

Mix Lighting Types To Create Dramatic Style

Create an intimate dining space with tall table spot lighting. Enhance a Victorian themed soiree when you incorporate faux gas street lamps. Bring it all together with modern, chic simplicity via smartly chosen light shades. An impressionistic design echoing the blowsy, full blown peonies in your arrangements pulls it all together while still leaving you in the spotlight.

A small lamp as big impact.
