If you're wondering how you can get that "Wow!" factor, then look no further than your lighting vendor. Lighting can make the biggest impact on your reception, but it's usually the one detail that gets cut or overlooked. I would recommend cutting back on flowers before touching your lighting budget because at the end of the day, guests will remember the breath-taking lighting effects over what type of flowers you had in the centerpieces. The special lighting you design with your vendor will also make every picture that much more "you."
From washes, to pin spots, to gobos, the possibilities to customize your event and transform the space are incredible and should be at the top of your priority list. You can customize a monogram and project it onto the dance floor. If you want to highlight your wedding date (9.10.11 or 11.11.11, for example), you could project it over the cake. Using pin spots in the bottom of tall vases will really draw guests eyes to the gorgeous flowers on top. My favorite lighting option is to use gobos to contiue the theme or motif of your wedding onto the ceiling.
