 Watercolor Ombre 

A great tip when choosing this style, is to stick to one color palette, using all colors from the deepest hues to the lightest. This simple way of theming your décor is a great way to bring lots of color into your design. Up lighting can also be set to mirror your ombre color palette by dialing in different shades of your chosen color. Whether opting for a big effect and highlighting this tool by grouping lights together or spreading across the room and spotlighting different areas of interest, lighting can give you a big effect at a very cost effective price point.

A friend of mine is getting ready to plan her wedding, but wasn’t sure what she was going to do about lighting. It’s interesting that you say to pick a color palette and use colors from that! It would be nice to see that everything is fitting together.
