Let there be Light!

Have you ever stopped to think about how people see your farm, your products, or your animals in different light throughout the day? One of our great Supplier Members has a new idea to share!


From Michelle Lesnik with Reinders:

It’s a fact things appear different in the daylight Vs night time, everything from paint colors, to your blind date. Unfortunately, the same often holds true for décor for our displays. That giant scarecrow looks amazing during the day, but it disappears in the dark. Or common LED lit wireframes, amazing in complete darkness, but come dawn they are revealed to be a twisted metal structure with some wires.

 

What if there was something that fit into the ag theme, and was as amazing during the day as they are at night? Well, there is. We have a bizarre fascination in the industry to make small things larger than life. Such is the case here. These come in many different recognizable flower species but are huge. Standing approximately 10’ feet tall and 3’-5’ feet wide they will tower over your guests giving a very immersive feeling or be viewable from a further distance. The daytime look is sculptural in nature, bright vivid colors but

a solid, woven, more string art appearance. At night the hidden lights shine through the structure illuminating them in the same colors they were in the daylight. Perfect for nighttime events, whether you focus on nighttime events only, or just host an occasional wedding, or evening event. There are also additional pieces manufactured with the same technique to augment the flowers. Swans and a few bugs to name a few, we understand bugs are usually our sworn enemies, but they do have happy little honeybees and dragon flies. Other options include huge water droplets, and umbrellas. So just remember in a world of things that just don’t look right in the morning…..there are options.
