Elegant Lighting Options for Party Tent Rentals

Oct 23, 2020

A party tent rental offers an ideal way to create an instant gathering location. If you're looking to create a more elegant party vibe, then lighting will go a long way in setting the scene and elevating the tent to a whole other level.


Learn about your lighting options and ways to transform the interior of a party tent with lights.


Chandeliers


One of the most elegant lighting options you have for a party tent rental is a chandelier. The giant light fixture hangs down from the center of the tent and will become the focal point of the tent design. The light reflects and beams off of the chandelier to create gorgeous views around the room and plenty of illumination.


If you have a larger party tent rental, you may consider two chandeliers spaced out evenly among the tent. The chandelier may be added on to the rental, so the installation and set-up are all a part of the tent package. With the set-up, the wiring will also be a part of the connection, so you only have to worry about turning the lighting on or off.


String Lighting


If you seek out soft and elegant lighting throughout the whole tent, then consider adding string lighting to the tent rental. String lighting goes along the upper roof of the party tent and provides full illumination through the whole tent.


The lighting has a classic elegant vibe and can include soft hues of either white or yellow lights. You can match table centerpieces to the light designs and create an elegant theme throughout the whole event. For example, if you choose string lighting with a gold finish on the wires, then you can match the lights with gold accents on tables.


You may have gold vases or gold decor like small statues. All of the elements will combine to create an elegant view that ties the whole theme together.


Table Accent Lighting


Make the seating stand out in a tent with table accent lights. When long table cloths hang over a table, you can provide a glow underneath with the use of LED accent lights. The color options depend on the way you choose to decorate. For example, you can choose all white accent lights and then illuminate colored table cloths like purple and pink.


You also have to option to use all-white table cloths and select from colored LED lights. For example, if you are hosting a wedding reception, then you can select LED light colors that represent the wedding colors. Some lights also feature automatic color changes, providing a mixture of light throughout the event.


Many smaller LED lights are battery powered so you do not need to worry about running cables from each table that features accent lighting.


Spotlights


If your event involves speeches or special slow dances, add some elegant lighting in the form of a spotlight. A spotlight can shine right on a person and add an elegant touch to the event. It will draw attention to certain areas of the party and also adds a professional touch.


Some spotlights will come with filters so you can change the color tones. For example, if you have a large birthday cake on display, a spotlight with a soft yellow tone and create unique lighting for the cake. With the spotlight, you can play around with different settings and have someone control the device when the light is needed.


If you take pictures or videos of the event, the light will eliminate shadows and increase the elegant look of the photos.
