Romantic Outdoor Lighting

Absolutely stunning.

Reminiscing about the events she would host at her farm, Danielle French insists that soft lighting sets a mood, invites conversation and puts people at ease.

“One thing that I made sure to do myself for every single event right up until the end when I sold the farm was to come in just after sunset and adjust the lighting lower. It made such a difference to the atmosphere. I never got tired of helping to create this evening scene”.

It took my breath away, candles on the tables and lighting up in the rafters; it was such a lovely, romantic, warm feeling. It was one of those details that you might overlook, but it completely changed the atmosphere and vibe of the event.

If the lighting was too bright after dinner, hardly anyone went onto the dance floor.

That little adjustment made all the difference.” As the season changes, more and more natural lighting comes inside.

It feels like we’ve all shed wintery skin and bask in what nature gives.

Patio dinners by candlelight, we have all summer to enjoy it!
