Poolside Wedding at Hotel Arts

Lighting – it’s a secret decor weapon that can completely transform the entire look and feel of a wedding. What used to be an element for only the most extravagant affairs is now becoming a major focus in wedding decor. From providing fun bursts of colour to setting the stage for a first dance to custom monograms decorating the walls, great wedding lighting will help create the ever-lasting wow factor that your guests will remember your big day for. Whether you go for a local poolside wedding at Hotel Arts or the Carriage House Inn, or go choose to go a destination route, planning a poolside wedding in Vegas, Mexico or Hawaii, the magic you can create with amazing lighting is spectacular!

Great wedding lighting can create all sorts of atmospheres – romantic and intimate, dramatic and electrifying, spontaneous and chic, rustic and homey. Today on the blog, we are sharing part of a shoot from the inaugural publication of LUXE by Calgary Bride, which features a warm and dreamy poolside wedding set up on the patio of the Hotel Arts pool.

Captivate your guests with a magical starlight affair where every carefully chosen element is full of surprise and discovery. Poolside and under the stars lights twinkle against deep black creating illusionary effects. Music and laughter fill the air and there is a dreamy sense that anything is possible. Brightly coloured amuse-bouche are both artistic and irresistable treats for an intimate gather.
