Lisa and Eric

When Lisa and Eric told us about their plan to use lighting as an integral part of their decor for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, we could not wait to see the outcome! The afternoon of the wedding was beautiful, and the excitement of the day was apparent from the moment we arrived to the room where Lisa was getting ready. When it was time, the guests gathered onto the beach for the ceremony. Everyone watched as her dad escorted Lisa down the dock and into the sand where Eric waited.

The celebrations continued on the deck where over 200 guests gathered to enjoy the cocktail hour. For those of you unfamiliar with CBF, usually there are two tents covering part of the deck, but Lisa and Eric opted to add an additional tent to go over the remaining uncovered portion. This simple act definitely makes a difference. Not only does it protect guests from any sort of weather (rain, wind, harsh sunlight, sudden snowstorms, etc), but it creates a more intimate atmosphere for the reception.

The tables were decorated with delicate flowers and pin lit from above. This minimalistic floral approach combined with the lighting created a very clean and interesting take on decor.

The lighting, however did not stop there. CBF was covered with lights - from the tents to the Canvasback Room to the actual building, each positioned with a specific purpose. The result was nothing short of incredible, and we say with certainty that CBF has never looked this amazing! Atmosphere, a Maryland-based lighting company, definitely transformed CBF. The ever-changing colors began subtly as the evening began and progressed into dramatic, rich colors as the night continued.

What do you get when you combine colorful ambiance with live music, great food, a happy couple, and enthusiastic guests?

The perfect combination for one fantastic wedding celebration!
