Imagine it! Guests are filing in search of the best spot to get the first look of the bride, while candles flood the floor and flicker as if to signal a silence before the ceremony begins. The sun finds it's home for the night just below the horizon and effortlessly cues the bridal party. Your groom awaits you haloed by the ceremony lights and your bride glowing in the last of the sunlight. Could you imagine a more romantic moment? An exchange of love witnessed by your family, friends and the moon. A night wedding has never sounded so good!

We have always been obsessed with the idea of a night wedding. Each beautiful photo framed by the brilliant night sky and all its stars. But, we live in Los Angeles and those stars don't get as much play time as they should. (If you happen live each night with a star filled sky, stop showing off! Just kidding, we love you and you are one step ahead of us city people!) So how does one achieve a star filled night wedding in the city? *Cue the Rock N' Events team*

Whether you bring the starlight indoors or enjoy the open air, we designed a universal nighttime/sunset wedding inspiration that is sure to bring out your inner night owl! Candles, moonlight and the love of your life! It's like a Nicolas Sparks novel! (hold the typical Nicolas Sparks ending please!)

The typical wedding ceremony begins at 4pm and our night ceremony would start significantly later based on the time of year, but we love the opportunities that come with it! Great lighting is your best friend throughout this planning process! Lighting can be anything from candles, tea lights, fairy lights, gobo lighting or just the natural skyline! The winning balance is between natural light and electric!

RNE Tip: When meeting with potential photographers. Ask them how comfortable they are with shooting primarily at night. Having blown out photos (too much flash) or having photos that are too dark to see any form of detail is hard to fix after the wedding. So have an open conversation about your expectations and the overall setting your photographer will be shooting.

Having a night wedding allows couples to really have fun with their theme and the activities for guests! Cocktail hour could include a smores bar or warm drinks! Making your wedding unique is half the fun! The other half? Getting Married of course!

We hope you enjoy our nighttime/sunset wedding designs!
