“A memorable night doesn’t start when the guests sit down; it starts when they walk in the door.”
“For Wilder, the most important part of any outdoor event is the lighting. It sets the tone, the mood, and the atmosphere, and helps your guests settle in and enjoy themselves. Creating an intimate environment in the great outdoors—or your deck, backyard, or rooftop terrace—can be challenging. But we have a few lighting ideas to help you set the perfect mood for your nighttime gathering.”
Jean Jullien “When it comes to having a party, go bold, be extravagant, go over the top—have an extravaganza!”
