    Ok So my wedding is 16 days and counting. For the most part I am pretty well prepared for the event. I however am concerned about lighting. We are having a sunset ceremony at a house we rented and reception to follow. So far I have what I feel like is a lot of lights, but as the day draws near I am becoming more and more paranoid I don't have enough lights. The back yard is a little less than 3/4 acre. We are in Phoenix, and its still god awfully hot out so heat is not a concern. I have 10 strands of 100 lights - you know like the little white ones for xmas trees, 20 paper lanterns I plan to hang above the dance floor, Also 48 paper lanterns I plan to use to line the walk ways from the upper level of back yard and bottom level. The center pieces of tables consist of 5 candles in holders all on table for light. There is some soft lighting in the pool its self we will turn on too. My FI and I were thinking of getting about 20 of the small lanterns for either tea lights or small block candles to hang too. Do we need them? Do I need more string lights? Or have I just lost my mind?

    You've lost you mind!! No LOL im just kidding. It sound like that is plenty of lighting. I dont think you will need the 20 small lanterns, you could get them just in case then return them if you dont use them....

    I agree with HeatherShane have them and retuen them if you don't use it. If possible set the lighting a few days earlier and test it out.
