Beberapa bulan yang lalu, saya sempat tersadar oleh kelakuan seorang operator. Disebuah event konser band kelas wahid, menggunakan jasa rental kami untuk memewahkan acara tersebut. …. Saya seorang kulilampu, yang dimana hanya patuh kepada atasan untuk mengeset peralatannya. Lumayan mewah juga….Namun yang menjadi perhatian saya, pada waktu hari H yang sangat mengecewakan pribadi saya (entah kru yang lain).

Jam menunjukkan pukul 8…dan acara tlah dimulai….band pembuka sudah siap siaga dipanggung…dan mulailah menyanyikan lagu yang berbeat tegas..(kayak lagu tentara)…lumayan juga band ini…band pembuka bukan sembarang band ecek2.

Namun saya tersontak kaget (kayak melihat poconk)…Gila nih operator basic lamp nya (operator PAR)…meriah banget…..semua warna par silih berganti bermain dengan girangnya diatas panggung….Namun ane sempat shock berat (hampir pingsan), melihat lampu ACLnya keluar di Band pembuka sering kali…..hebattttt bener…..(pikir ane).. ntar pas band utama, jurus ampuhnya apa ya???..semua jurus lampu dah dikeluarin..apa nanti mainnya cuma moving light aja ya??…hemmmm

saya sempat bertanya tanya dalam hati lama sekali….

Dan ternyata..eh ternyata……Band pembuka dan habis waktunya…Band Utama muncul……namun apa daya….jurus utamanya telah habis sewaktu band pembuka……Band Utama telah kehabisan jurus….dah loyo…hemmm…

Hal tersebut diatas,  mengingatkan kita akan jurus2 lampu di panggung sewaktu bermain lampu. Menurut saya, ya berikan sewajarnya aja untuk band pemmbuka…berikan permainan lampu yang cantik untuk band pembukanya. Hal tersebut menurut saya bukan hal yang sepele; bukan tergantung mood operator, namun berdasar tanggung jawab seorang operator lampu untuk menganggkat suasana di sebuah acara. Jangan tergantung dengan EO, karena banyak sekali EO2 lokal yang masih guoblok dibidang ini…(maaf ya mas EO)

Membangun suasana dalam konser musik….maupun di wedding…sangatlah penting sekali. Bilamana ada waktu sedikit mungkin…mintalah pertimbangan dan ajukan ide2 ada ke EO..karena merekalah yang menyewa kita…

untuk istilah beken diatas, mungkin bisa saya jabarkan “save the best for the last” . (dalam bahasa Indonesianya, kurang lebih bisa diartikan ” simpan programan lampu anda yang terbaik, untuk acara utamanya”; betul ndak ya??)

Buat penonton semakin terpukau, bukan hanya karena acara utamanya mulai, tapi juga karena dukungan dramatis dari permainan lampu anda.Buat penonton takjub…bukan karena banyaknya lighting yang anda pasang di panggung, namun karena permainan anda mampu mendukung total acara. Mungkin dibawah ini ada beberapa trik dalam bermain lampu di panggung konser musik:

-kuasai lay out panggung dan space yang tersedia untuk para performer (pegang rundownya dan urutan lagu yang akan dinyanyikan). Kalopun bisa, coba dengarkan lagu2 mereka sewaktu sound chek). karena hal ini berkaitan erat saat anda bermain dengan lampu.

-berikan permainan lighting seadanya sewaktu band pembuka. dan mainkan moving light seadanya. Mungkin garis kasarnya, kasih permainan yang monoton. (maaf ya, buat band pembuka)

Mungkin segitu dulu, uneg uneg saya, dan tlah saya uraikan diatas. Kejadian diatas, tidak bisa kita pungkiri kerap terjadi, namun tanpa kita sadari… Mungkin untuk mengasah mood kita…sering seringlah melihat konser2 band ternama (bukan melihat banyaknya lampu), namun lihatlah kepiawaian sang opertor membangun suasana untuk penontonnya. ….

Penggunaan kabel berukuran 4×2,5  (serabut) banyak digunakan di rental rental Indonesia. Berbagai jenis merk dari kabel tersebut mewarnai dunia usaha rental. Kabel 4×2,5, didalamnya ada beberapa warna.Perlambangan warna yang terdapat di dalam kabel ini:

Hitam: melambangkan negative

Merah: melambangkan positive

Kuning:melambangkan positive (bilamana digunakan dalam penyambungan 3phase)

Melambangkan negative (bilamana digunakan dalam penyambungan 2phase)

Warna kabel ini kadang ada juga yang bergaris hijau/biru(tergantung jenis kabel)

Hijau: melambangkan positive

Kadang kabel ini tidak bewarna hijau, melainkan biru.

Namun demikian, penjabaran diatas merupakan dari persetujuan dari para kulilampu dengan team di rental sendiri(sudah beberapa kali saya searching di google belum menemukan atas penjabaran hal ini). Ada beberapa teknik penyambungan, antara lain:

1 phase:

Tehnik ini seperti teknik penyambungan standart. Apabila menggunakan kabel 2  x 2,5. Sangatlah mudah untuk melakukannya. Namun perlu dimengerti bahwa  haruslah disamakan warna kabelnya. Lambang kabel hitam merupakan positive.

2 phase:

Teknik ini harus mendapat persetujan dari teman teman kuli lampu dilapangan sebelumnya. Karena hal ini merupakan kebiasaan. Dimana ada beberapa orang yang menggunakan semua kabel, atau ada beberapa yang meninggalkan kabel warna kuningnya. (lihat dulu beban yang akan dilewati kabel tersebut.

3 phase:

Sangat umum dan lazim teknik ini dimana mana dilakukan dalam penyambungan PAR dalam pipa bar. Teknik ini sangat membantu sekali dalam meminimalkan pemakaian kabel dilapangan.

Pemakaian kabel yang bagus sangat disarankan dalam teknik penyambungan ini. Jangan sampai ditengah tengah event anda, anda sendiri kebingungan memikirkan kabel anda yang panas, karena kelebihan beban. Teknik 3 phase juga sangat riskan dengan adanya problem kabel  yang panas. Namun bilamana anda menggunakan merk kabel yang bagus, saya kira untuk beban  @6kva dengan panjang kabel kurang dari 15mt, masih sanggup untuk menahan beban sepanjang malam event anda.

In fact, Church Wedding Decoration calls for minimal décor. And some of the churches have also laid down certain rules regarding the décor of the church for any official ceremony like wedding.

Hence, these points should always be considered while planning for Church Wedding.

Church Wedding Decorations should be planned keeping in mind the space required for the guests and for the holy congregation. It should have your personal mark on it. And traditional Church Wedding Decoration is mostly based on adding lace, crystals, pearls and beads to linen, candles, centerpieces, candelabras, flowers and other dry floral arrangements to enhance the purity of the place. In fact, magnetic Candle Decoration is much loved by all. The added beauty is definitely going to provide shine, shimmer and sparkle to your wedding décor.

Church pew decorations are also part of the Church Wedding Decoration. For your conventional Wedding Décor, how about decorating the altar with orchids and lilies? This will surely attach striking elegance to the wedding ceremony. To make it simple and inexpensive, you can also think about daisies, carnations and tulips. Or are you thinking about the out and out simple idea of attaching white bow at the end of a pew? However, you can make it more interesting as the decoration is only limited to your imagination! You can try the idea of inviting baby’s wreath (flower) to your church decoration. This will make the pew decoration quite romantic, idealistic and dreamy.

Draping fabric of gossamer or organza or any other material is also a great idea for pew decoration. The bride can choose the fabric of her choice and arrange for the décor of the church or chapel. This can be quite expensive but a very gorgeous decoration. You can also use tulle or tulle swag to hang on the walls—making the décor a breathtaking image for all! You can make greenery the part of floral decorations too. Consider balloons also for the decoration. Helium balloon arches are quite common and look wonderful.

For the Church Wedding Decoration, you can also give a thought to theme-based decorations. The most common is the color theme for the décor. This is easy, comfortable and in the budget too. You can choose the favorite color of the bride or bridegroom or both. Mix n match everything to bring about a colorful and enjoyable wedding ceremony. In this way, you can even share your sentiments and emotions with your family and friends. How about inviting an adorned Christmas Tree to your wedding? Decorate the tree with various ornaments and make it a part of your wedding. There are other themes also that you can choose like beach theme, heart theme, or cowboy theme.

Again, search for organza or satin bows, fall leaves theme, snowflakes markers, calla lily aisle decorations, pew cones, western pew bows, Cinderella pew decorations, florist ready bows and more. Make your church Wedding Decoration unique and one-of-its-kind for one and all to cherish forever.

First of all, your wedding style needs to be reflected in the wedding style that you choose. For example, you can easily choose colors that match the wedding flowers that are going to be used or the bridesmaid dresses. This is not an easy task, however, because sometimes people want to choose the wedding flowers and dresses based on the wedding colors that you pick out! When this happens, then you have to come up with the best overall colors for the wedding.

Now, when it comes to seasonal themes, there are a few things that you need to keep in mind. First of all, we are going to talk about Spring and Summer since these are the seasons that people are most likely to choose. For Spring and Summer, it is best to use things like mint green and ice blue. People normally also like golds and yellows, as well as a lilac color. These are not the only colors that go great with Spring and Summer weddings, but it will help you to get started.

If you are having a Fall and Winter wedding, then you need to go with a Crepe Red or a navy Blue. Sometimes even a Tango Red or a Cinnamon color goes great with these kinds of weddings. People normally like hunter green for winter weddings as well. Do keep in mind that these are just suggestions, and if you do not like these kinds of colors, then you should not use them, because you will not be happy with the overall look and feel of your wedding.

Now, if you choose to mix your wedding colors, then you have to keep a few things in mind as well. For example, some colors work better in the background. A yellow or gold background, for instance, could look really nice against a tango red. Next, be sure that you start off with your base color first. From the base color, then you can start making lighter or darker shades from there.

No matter what you do, the season is going to have some kind of effect on the colors that you choose. For example, bright colors are normally a great thing to use during the spring. However, darker and richer tones could be the best thing to use during the fall and winter months.

Now, after you finally pick out the wedding colors that you want, it’s time to make sure that your other colors fit in with it. This means that now the bridesmaid dresses and wedding flowers need to fit in with the colors that you have chosen. Do not worry about telling them what kind of colors they have to use, because they had their chance to tell you what colors they liked. Now it’s your turn to tell them what colors they are going to wear. Also keep in mind that flowers are going to normally be the centerpiece at most of the tables where your guests are sitting, meaning that, if you do not have flowers that match, then you are going to end up with a theme that does not look like it goes together very well.

Overall, you need to remember that weddings need to flow. The more things that you can have that look like they go together, the better off your wedding is going to look. Just remember that wedding colors do not have to follow certain themes if you do not want your wedding to be traditional.

Remember that it is your wedding overall, and you do not have to take other peoples’ ideas. If you want to mix and match colors until your eyes pop out of your head, then that is your call, and no one can tell you differently. However, if you want your wedding to flow and not look like it does not go together, then you need to be sure that you choose colors that, not only go with each other, but go with the overall theme of your wedding. For example, a beach themed wedding will need more earthy tones than weddings that are based on a more traditional wedding theme. Keeping these ideas in mind can make sure that your wedding is everything that you want it to be. Be sure to keep people who are planning your wedding up-to-date with colors that you choose as well.

Planning a wedding is a fun and special event for the bride and groom-to-be. There is so much that needs to be done to decorate for the wedding in order to make the festive occasion simply perfect. One important detail that needs to be tended to with any wedding is that of wedding decorations. From simple to decadent, there is a decoration for the wedding reception tables to fit every taste imaginable.

Wedding Bells and Hearts

Perhaps nothing says wedding more so than decorations consisting of wedding bells and hearts. These items come in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials. Whether one is looking to decorate the aisles and pews at the church for the wedding ceremony or looking for perfect wedding table decorations for the wedding reception, there is so much to choose from when it comes to wedding bells and hearts. For church decorations, try placing 3-D paper wedding bells on the end of each church pew to give the church a little extra wedding flair. As for the reception, heart candleholders can be placed on each of the reception tables with white candles for some added ambience.

Beautiful Candles Exude the Feel of Wedding Day Romance

Another spectacular decorative item for the ceremony, reception or both is wedding candles. These candles can come in any style, scent and color. Whether the ceremony and reception are taking place during the day or night, candles add greatly to the special occasion. There are many companies which produce wedding decorations such as candles exclusively for wedding ceremonies and receptions. Not only can the couple choose their favorite color for the candles but they may also be able to get the candles and/or candleholders personalized with their wedding day information.

Floral Centerpieces

Another highly sought after wedding decoration piece is the floral centerpiece. Flowers look fantastic anywhere at a wedding ceremony or reception but if one is looking to find the perfect touch for the center of their tables, a floral centerpiece will definitely do the trick. These centerpieces can be high or low, modest or full. It all depends on the individual tastes and budget of the couple who is planning the wedding. A great touch to floral centerpieces is to choose wedding colors as the main floral color scheme. This really brings the whole room together and makes everything exquisitely coordinated.

Wedding Theme Place Card Holders

For those couples who are having assigned seating at their wedding reception tables, wedding theme place card holders are a great way to dress up the table. There is a variety of wedding theme place card holders available for sale where individuals can choose to advertise the number of the table or the name of the guests. Some examples of these holders include bride and groom figurines, silver wedding bells and gold heart place card holders. This is a great wedding reception table decoration sure to delight all who attend the special event.

There are so many ways in which the couple can make their day that much more special and one way is to go all out when it comes to choosing the perfect wedding decorations for the big day.

Find the perfect decorations or wedding favors in our wedding store, or search our local weddings section for the perfect decorators and florists.

Some options for wedding reception décor are as follows:

Fairy Lights

You can have a ceiling covered with fairy lights. Fairy lights are those little white lights that are used around Christmas to light up the tree. Fairy lights, either clear or colored, can be used on the entire ceiling of your wedding reception giving your room a magical appearance.

Ceiling fairy lights usually come in a net and can easily be put up onto the ceiling of the hall. After the reception, they are removed. You normally rent fairy lights as they can be expensive to purchase. They make all the difference in your wedding, however, especially if the choice of lighting is ordinary ceiling lights. In some halls, there are elaborate chandeliers adorning the ceilings. In some, there are florescent lights. The fairy lights can light up the room in place of any other lighting and your guests will be enchanted.

Chair Coverings

Enough cannot be said about material chair coverings for the chairs at the reception. These chair coverings can be rented at party rental places or by the hall. Some halls will not allow you to bring in your own décor, which can end up costing you a lot of money. Party rental places will rent chair coverings, which are basically white slip covers for chairs, for a fraction of what you will pay in the hall. If you are thinking of a wedding, do what you can do to get decent chair coverings.

Wedding Arches

When the bride and groom enter the wedding, there is usually a wedding arch that they can walk through. This is when they are making their first appearance as husband and wife and it is a dramatic event. A wedding arch is something that you should have at your reception. This is, again, something that will be rented.

Tableware

Are you going to opt for fine china and crystal or ordinary glasses and tableware? The hall where you have your wedding will give you a choice for the type of place settings you can have as well as the difference in prices.

Wishing Well

Some people still have an old fashioned wishing well at their wedding receptions as part of the wedding reception décor. The wishing well is where the cards to the bride and groom are deposited. This is an old custom, but can still be used in weddings today. They are usually white and look like a miniature wishing well.

Table Centerpieces

You are going to have to come up with centerpieces for the table. You can usually get these from the florist or the hall. Most halls will allow you to supply your own centerpieces, which you can make for a fraction of what it would cost you to buy one or rent one from the hall.

When you are deciding on your reception décor, discuss with the hall planner just what you will be allowed to bring in and what they will be required to supply. You can generally save money and come up with some unique ideas if you work with a hall that is flexible when it comes to providing your own wedding reception décor.

1. ‘Tis the season…. Looking for affordable bridesmaid dresses? Try shopping for them during the holiday season – but not in expensive bridal salons. Department stores such Sears, for example, generally carry an excellent selection of glamourous cocktail and evening dresses as the season for parties approaches – but at much lower prices than what you’d pay for similar “bridesmaid dresses” in a bridal boutique. With just a quick look though a local department store before firing off this tip, I was able to find an array of gorgeous styles priced at a mere $49! An entire world of fabulous finds can definately be found for well under $100. So when the season of good cheer rolls around, it’s time to grab your girls and hit the mall! If rock bottom prices are what you have in mind, here’s an even better suggestion: Scour the stores towards the end of the holiday season when prices are being heavily marked down, and cash in on the clearance sales for even greater savings!

2.  Number those reply cards! Many a bride has a huge headache on her hands when, as sometimes happens, the occasional reply card is sent back with no names filled in. Clearly an oversight on the part of the guest who sent it, but how do you figure out who on earth it came from? Here’s a little trick which will ensure that you avoid this problem all together – place a small, inconspicuous number on the back of each reply card before enclosing it with the invitation. Use a list to record each guest’s name along with the number on the reply card you are enclosing for them. That way, if someone should forget to fill in their name, a quick glance at your list will tell you precisely who the reply belongs to.

3. Making your own invitations? Save money by using reply postcards instead of the usual reply cards with envelopes. Postage rates for postcards are about 13 cents less than the rate for stamping envelopes (Remember, you must pre-stamp the reply cards for your guests!) Plus, by using postcards you’ll also save the expense of envelopes. Simply print the response information on one side of the card, and your address on the other side.

4. Make sure your florist includes at least a little bit of ivy in your bouquet. This lush green climbing vine symbolizes fidelity and is traditionally used in bridal bouquets for that special symbolism.

5. Be sure to “break in” the shoes you will be wearing on your wedding day in advance. If your new shoes aren’t stretched a little before the big day, your feet may be killing you before you even make it to the reception. This has been an unpleasant distraction for many a bride on her wedding day, don’t let it put a damper on yours! Spend several hours wearing your bridal shoes around the house in the weeks before the wedding and you’ll have no problem kicking up your heels long into the wee hours when the big day arrives.

6. Be sure to have pictures taken of your reception site before your guests arrive, while everything is still in place and looking fabulous! Later, you’ll love looking back on these pictures which will so perfectly capture the way in which everything you envisioned for your wedding was transformed into reality.

7. This piece of expert advice comes to us from Ann, a wedding consultant with over 30 years of experience – and the owner of the bridal consulting firm of Bergin-Bryant, Inc. in the New England area. Check out the insider information she provides about booking a limousine for your big day…

“I have a few questions I always ask limo services before booking them for my clients:

a. Are the drivers properly attired in livery and cap….or are they inappropriately attired in tuxedos? To be technically correct according to traditional etiquette, drivers should wear livery and cap, but many companies send them out in tuxes instead.

b. Aside from the usual vanity license plate, is there any advertising on the limo…such as in the rear window? If so, is it a cling that they can pull off?

c. What brand of champagne do they serve…usually its pretty cheap…..so ask!”

8.The Games Photographers Play…

Everyone knows that before booking a photographer one should visit his or her studio to view their work. What you may not know is that the photos you are viewing may not be the work of the photographer you are considering hiring! Some photographers purchase beautiful wedding photos from photography industry suppliers and wholesalers, which they then hang in their own studios. This understandably leads the prospective clients inevitably to believe that they are viewing the work of the photographer in question. This practice is far more common than you might imagine, and although it may be misleading, in most jurisdictions there is nothing illegal about it as long as the photographer doesn’t explicitly and specifically tell you he took the particular photo(s). So what can you do? How will you know? ASK! That’s right, ask the photographer specifically if all of the photos on display were taken by him or her. Unless you are dealing with someone really unscrupulous, most will tell you the truth if asked this question directly – although there are never any guarantees. So buyer beware! As always, exercise caution and ask a lot of questions. When booking a photographer, you should always insist on references from previous clients, and check those references! You should also ask for the names and telephone numbers of the couples in the photos you are being shown, and do a very careful reference check to ensure that they are legit!

9. Forget about trying to keep all of your wedding planning details organized by writing them in a book, binder, or 3-ring planner – that’s a disaster waiting to happen. Weddings are huge projects, and they require excellent project management – you should be using wedding planning software. This is the secret to how the best weddings are being planned today. There are simply too many details to manage, too many things to remember, and far too much to juggle without the help of the right planning tool to keep you on track, organized, and in control. You can download an excellent software product and start using it right now for 30 days, risk free. Once you start using it, you’ll wonder how brides ever managed with out it – but, what we really love is that you have nothing to lose with the risk free trial period. Download it now and put it to work organizing your wedding immediately, or see our article about wedding planning software to learn more about why good software is fast becoming the best keep secret to wedding planning perfection.

* sekadar kumpulan foto indah dengan lokasi indah (seperti album foto konvensional atau prewedding foto)

* konsep sebuah ceritera sebagaimana skenario film atau sinetron

* konsep kalender yang dapat menggambarkan perubahan suasana dari musim ke musim * konsep komik dengan word balloons berisi kalimat-kalimat lucu

* konsep majalah di mana ada halaman muka, pengantar redaksi, halaman isi, berbagai halaman rubrik

* dan konsep-konsep lain sesuai imajinasi pasangan pre-wedding

02. Tentukan Tema Foto tema foto prewedding mengacu kepada nuansa (suasana dan setting) yang ingin dimunculkan dari karya foto. beberapa contoh tema misalnya: etnik (javanese, minang, chinese, arabic, sundanese), kolonial, masa remaja, oriental, horror, wild western (seperti film-film koboi), casual, office environment, futuristik, luar angkasa, gurun pasir, hutan amazon, dan sebagainya sesuai imajinasi pasangan pre-wedding.

03. Pilih Kostum dan Lokasi pemilihan tema di atas sangat penting karena akan menentukan langkah selanjutnya yakni pemilihan kostum dan lokasi pemotretan atau prewedding foto. banyak lokasi pre wedding foto di indonesia tersedia untuk mendukung berbagai tema yang diinginkan. banyak tempat di kota-kota besar juga menyediakan jasa penyewaan kostum pre wedding untuk berbagai tema tersebut. jika bingung dengan tema pre wedding dan daya imajinasi sedang mentok, tema casual yang ringan bisa dijadikan pilihan terakhir

04. Pilih Fotografer yang Tepat ketiga tips di atas merupakan langkah awal yang sebaiknya dilakukan pasangan pre-wedding. langkah selanjutnya adalah memilih fotografer foto prewedding yang cocok untuk keperluan sesuai tema. jika tema yang dipilih menuntut banyak pemotretan di studio foto pre wedding dengan menggunakan berbagai efek pencahayaan buatan, maka fotografer dengan spesialis outdoor kurang dapat memberikan pelayanan yang memuaskan. sebaliknya, jika sesi pemotretan pre wedding foto akan banyak dilakukan di luar ruangan dengan kondisi alam yang mendekati ekstrim (misal sangat panas, sangat dingin, sangat basah, dll), maka pilihlah fotografer yang memang tangguh dan handal untuk kondisi-kondisi semacam itu. Demikianlah sekadar tips agar karya foto pre-wedding memiliki nilai lebih.
