Spending time in the showcase room of a home improvement center or wondering through a dedicated lighting boutique can be lots of fun but frankly it's a pain in the neck. I mean this literately because you end up spending so much time looking up!
The Tiffany lamps seem to be grouped by four major categories with many subgroups:* Write notes on itinerary & label last minute questions for client* Announce any significance in song selection the client has for the parent and bridal party dancesOne disadvantage is that you will have suffer the disruption of the marquee being erected & taken down after the wedding. You will also need to provide cooking facilites, toilets & possibly heating. Unless you are happy with guests using the bathroom in your own home, you may want to hire port-a-loos as well.To test my theory, I imagined transforming a spare quest room into the home office I have always dreamed about. It's a quiet retreat with heavy silk drapery to close when the sun is too bright or I can't be distracted by my swimming pool. Personal touches from years of global business travel adorn heavy furniture of recycled teak. My desk contains all the accoutrements needed to expand my laptop and watch my daily stock market reports on a 22 inch flat screen. An overstuffed recliner is the perfect spot for curling up with a good book, sipping a glass of wine, or watching the latest in my favorite television series.Lighting is an important consideration with a marquee & particularly so to create an ambient atmosphere. Uplighters & chandeliers add elegance & soft light. If your location has fabulous views choose a marquee with windows to take full advantage. Other extras which are often overlooked include: a separate tent for catering - make sure you hire one with sufficient space for your caterers & how much power they will need torun ovens etc; heating also should be considered as evening temperatures can drop quite dramatically.* Double check that the photographer and videographer are ready to begin* Ask bride and groom if we can take a photo of them together* Start dinner music as requested by the client (work in their requests)I decide that geometric should be my place to start. Although I find offerings for table lamps, ceiling lights, floor stands, and wall lights, I keep to my mission for a table lamp. With a momentary divergence to understand light fittings, I'm now looking at hundreds of breathtakingly beautiful lamp options. I find a Mission model, stylish and richly coloured supported on a base with bronze antique finishing, which catches my eye. The dimensions clearly indicate that the lamp would fit nicely on my round side table and with shipping I'm under �60.* Ask the bridal party if there is anything they would like for me to take to their head table* Avoid any chandeliers or other obstacles during the toss* If Champagne is head table/family tables only announce guests to grab something to toast withThe Grand EntranceWhen it comes to searching for home d�cor, especially when you really, really want to find that incredibly unique piece, why not let your fingers do the search? Let's take home lighting for example. Other than the truly vast selection, it's a good example because finding something to fit is easier than picking out clothing. In fact, each lighting piece will be listed with the specifications including dimensions and weight. That's far easier than hoping that the size 12 pants you order are the same size twelve you wear.
The price is right. The size is perfect. And without leaving my home, I can have a new table lamp within a week. This was so easy, do I buy now or search some more?
