On Tuesday I was asked to be the MC and Lighting Designer for the Sacramento Chapter of NACE. This was a special pleasure for me because of the challenge that they gave me. I had to design the Lighting around the personality and decor or the owner of the New Castle Wedding Gardens & Red Horse Barn, Georgia Barron. I was up for the challenge! First I wanted to incorporate the classic logo of Red horse barn into the event and choose to make a monogram for the dance floor.
Then after seeing the elegant design work of the floral from Cathy Brooks of Visual Impact Design and Linens from Creative Coverings, as well as additional decor from CMC Design. I choose to add splashes of color in the room with some elegant LED Up-lighting. Since I was using the LED lights, I was able to slowly change the colors of the room from red & orange, to a pink & gold. This kept the atmosphere of the room fresh throughout the event. Just outside, I used lasers to create a fire fly effect in the grass and trees to enhance the enchantment. I had a blast that night and enjoyed working with the other vendors who helped make this such a great event. We had the beautiful Harp sounds of Pam Pamprin, and the photos were captured by the talented Photographer Jeff Sharp of Sharp Photographers.
