I had an idea and I think its a good one.I have been having troublke getting all my bits to match for my wedding as my colour is purple and I dont want everything in different shades.So I thought what if I just do it all white and get purple lighting to turn everything the same shade of purple.
I have looked at some magazine spreads where they have clearly used some sort of colour wash lighting and they look magnificent.So I typed in PA hire in my area and phoned one of the companies.They do sound and lighting for concerts,stages etc but were willing to rent out just a few light.
I told the man what I was hping to achieve and was very pleasantly shocked to get the final estimate of under £50(thats for a 3 day hire) for 4 lights on stands,uplighters and colour filters.It will create an ambient glow and turn all my white stuff purple.£18 an hour to set it up for me and it should take under an hour.
I couldnt believe I could afford it and it will work out so much nicer and cheaper.
Just wanted to pass that on incase it helps anyone out re ideas for their own wedding.
