outdoor wedding lighting?

jyllyen

I'm getting married in Greensboro on August 20th.  Assuming there's no rain, it'll be an outdoor wedding.  Ceremony starts at 4pm, followed by appetizers, dinner at 5:30 and dancing expected to carry on until at least 9pm.   We're expecting activities to take place under the tent (eating etc) and on the lawn (appetizers, dancing, etc)

The question... how much lighting will we need as the evening progresses?  Will a dozen string lights and votive candles on the table be enough?

Any other August brides have experience with this?

And... pray for clear weather!

Thanks!

I only had string lighting and my wedding was August 8th. It was defintely enough. ONce it got dark..later on it was perfect because the lights set a mood and were dim for the dancing and end og the night.
