Uplighting at the Woodlands?

Getting married at the Woodlands next September and I'm trying to figure out what kind of vibe I want for the reception room. I definitely want centerpieces with a lot of candles because to me, there's nothing more romantic than a candlelit room
However, because the Woodlands is an old mansion and the decor is rather dark, I'm concerned that the room will be too dark once the sun goes down. I was wondering if there are any Woodlands brides out there who used uplighting. I am thinking about using it, but without going over the top and making it cheesy. Does anyone have any pics? Or advice!

Thanks!

We're doing luminaries in the backyard in the evening - so it has a nice warm glowing feeling...which won't take away the feel of the woodlands.

there's sconces on the walls with candle lights..i was just at a wedding there, and it looks beautiful as is

Im not at the Woodlands but at a similar type feel venue. We are doing 10-15 LED uplights only. We want it to still feel like an old mansion with all its antique flair!

I am doing the same. I felt exactly the same way as you about my RH being dark once the sun goes down. We are doing about 10-15 spot lights around the room, but we definitely do not want to take away from it.

thanks for posting this! The room looks beautiful!

I don't think I'm doing uplighting at the woodlands...I went there for a showcase which was at nighttime and the ballroom was actually BRIGHT. I think our BM said they can brighten and dim all the chandeliers and sconces to the amount of light that you want, so I dont really think uplighting is a necessity
