Light can really make a wedding banquet setting romantic, attractive and exciting! Of course most people ar aware of the typical up-lights and spotlights that create the atmosphere of the room. These lights require an electric outlet and produce the background for the event. But, with the latest LED technology, you can have lighting in areas without needing to run long extension corduroys with the ubiquitous duct tape on the floor! Due to the development of battery powered LEDs, centerpieces and even your Champaign glass can have its own light. The possibilities ar virtually endless.

The latest trend is to use “rice lights”; very tiny lights that come in strands or “sprays” of branches. They ar literally the sizing of a grain of rice, produce a speck of light and can operate for hours with a small battery pack. Much littler than the typical LED light, the mood they set is really fabulous!

There are numerous styles of branches available that can be part of a floral design in a centerpiece or stand-alone. The small strands can be ordered within a clear or frosted glass vase and really set off a centerpiece. The strands cost under $20 each.

The branches come in various lengths up to 5 feet tall and run from under $40 to more than $100 each. They can be used on every table or just the main table. They can be mixed with flowers, fabric, tulle, feathers or virtually any other item a typical florist uses for her art. You could even have them embedded into the icing of a wedding cake!

Another trendy idea is to use battery operated centerpiece “up-lights”. These devices range in size from a hockey puck to bigger ones the size of a Frisbee and can contain a dozen or more small LED lights. The idea is to place a glass vase on top of the lights. If you choose a disc that just fits under the glass vase, the light will appear to be coming through the arrangement. If you use a bigger one some of the lights will be under the vase and several other LEDs shine up all around, much like the light astatine the Washington Monument! Another great looking idea is to have wits or translucent “beads” in the vase with water; creating a unique centerpiece of “liquid light”. The bases come in various diameters from 3 inches to 12 inches and cost about $25 each to purchase.

Waterproof LED lights ar also available. These can be placed in the bottom of a vase, in the punch bowl or even in individual drink glasses. They come in astatine least a dozen colors and shapes and last hours. They cost about $3 each. Two or three can well light up a vase on a guest table and are often time placed under translucent, clear or colored glass beads or a crushed-glass-like product that casts a very interesting and romantic light.

Candles are, of course, a tradition astatine weddings. Traditional candles have their drawbacks and ar rapidly being replaced by small tea light LED substitutes. These lights are molded like flames and come in a variety of colors. As a co-owner of a banquet facility in Birmingham, Al, I endorse these “candles” because of the safety and liability concerns. Also, they do not produce smoke, and because there is no liquid wax, they prevent wax “stains” on the linens, which in turn saves us time and money.

These small devices flicker in a “realistic” fashion and can be placed into a small glass tea light bearer or inside a hollowed out 3 inch wax “candle”. The LED versions of a candle will easy last the entire reception and are reusable. Some are really rechargeable providing a “green” solution to your wedding reception! These devices vary in price from a few dollars each to many times more depending upon the container. There ar a number of places to find the lights above. Search for LED lights on the cyberspace to find the best buys and selection.

The recycled tranSglass pieces above were designed by Emma Woffenden and Tord Boontje as part of Artecnica's Design With Conscience program. I adore how the finish and colors are reminiscent of sea glass - but I'm a sucker for anything well-designed that maintains a beachy vibe.

The sleek, recycled glass carafe set above is the perfect bedside addition to a guest room. Plus, you get to buy it from the coolest website ever: ReForm School.


I love the oversized wobbliness of this recycled glass vase (above) from Sundance - it's somehow goofy, awkward, and beautiful all at once.


These glass vases/carafes from Branch Home get the Green Star: not only are they made of recycled glass, they're processed in an electric furnace powered by wind energy. Each one is made by hand, so no two are alike. I like the idea of clustering a few together - just like this image - on a fireplace mantel or sideboard.
