Create Magic with Wedding Projection Mapping

Projection mapping is a revolutionary technology that takes normal objects and turns them into interactive displays. Buildings, runways, stages- even water becomes an ever changing canvas for graphics to be projected onto. By using the surface’s shape & texture to its own advantage, video mapping has the ability to create delightful experiences of light illusion.

Projection mapping is a multistage process. Once a venue is decided upon, a team of creative developers will assess the location and digitally map the space. Then artists can custom design vivid images and visual effects that are specifically created for the surface in consideration. The object can be virtually anything from a small statue to the entire building. Then, the visual assets are specifically mapped to match the shape and dimensions of the object’s surface. This process involves meticulously aligning the digital content to match the perspective of the object, creating a stunning optical illusion.

Imagine your wedding bouquet, stunning the room as projected video transforms them into living art with dynamic colors, patterns. With the right lighting, you could even have your bouquet appear as if it were growing from nothing at all!

With wedding projection mapping, possibilities for your venue are limitless. No matter what kind of style or aesthetic you are looking for, wedding projection mapping can provide that. From imaginary places in fairytale worlds to previously shared special moments, any venue can become your perfect wedding canvas.

Here are a few ideas to inspire you for the perfect immersive wedding:

Interactive dance floor that moves with guests:

With projection mapping, you can add an interactive element to make the projections follow the guests. Imagine a wedding reception dance floor, with lights that highlight the dancefloor and move as guests move around in vibrant colors. This is just another brilliant idea that will make your wedding a truly unique experience for all your close ones.

Decorate the aisle:

A rainbow pathway, a yellow brick road or turn your magical wedding aisle into anything you choose. The possibilities are endless.

Musicians, djs, add a visual element to their performance:

Your wedding band could also be the canvas of a projection mapping display. Projection map instruments, a drum kit that flashes colors and patterns each time the kick drum is hit. You could transform the dj booth into a jungle oasis, while there’s nothing more than a white canopy. Have your guests wear all white and you can make everyone a part of the magic.

Welcome signs, changeable graphics:

Instead of having a stationary sign, you could have dynamic graphics that change as the night goes on. Greet your friends and family in a big way and highlight the new couple’s name as soon as the knot is officially tied.

Reception dance party:

Projection mapping implies a good party. Turn your wedding into an immersive dance party by projecting lights and patterns on the ceiling walls and even the dance floor. The best part of projection mapping is that you can go from a classy theme with flowers and doves to a nightclub in Ibiza with the touch of a button.

Wedding venues can be decorated to the nines, but with projection mapping – this can save you time and money and have a bigger wow-factor than the typical floral decor.

Wedding projection mapping can turn any wedding Venue into a surreal world filled with special effects, whether the wedding is held at night or during the day. Wedding Projection mapping will offer your wedding photographers endless opportunities to capture something truly magical on your special day.

While projection mapping has been used for years in all sorts of events, it was first made popular by Disney in 2014, when a video of their video mapped wedding cakes became viral on youtube. For quite some time after, this type of technology was only seen at extremely luxurious weddings, and events reserved for the ostentatious.

Nowadays, projection mapping has become much more affordable and accessible. While you can go all out with custom created content and meticulously planned designs, the use of wedding projection mapping can be catered to any budget.  In fact, it can be even more affordable than traditional decor. Video mapping offers the ability to completely change the look of any venue, turning your wedding into an immersive delight never to be forgotten.

Transforming the space isn’t all you can do with projection mapping. 3d mapping can be used on objects like statues, pillars or even your wedding cake. These objects can act as the centerpiece to any special occasion including a wedding.

Venue space transformation:

Weddings are not just a celebration of love and family but also a way to celebrate those special people that bring us all together. Nowadays people are inclined to have themed weddings that showcase all the things that the couple loves. There have been all kinds of weddings themed after popular movies, books and television series. Imagine being able to turn your wedding into a Star Wars themed celebration. Or maybe have your reception at Disney World from a venue in Denver Colorado. Wedding projection mapping makes these ideas a very real option.

Make any space match the theme of your wedding with the press of a button. You can transform walls, the dance floor, light the aisle up with a walkway that changes colors as the couple walks down the aisle together.

For the ceremony:

A humble white chapel is the perfect canvas for wedding projection mapping. Technicians just need a little bit of time to set up their equipment before they can begin mapping the visual elements to the venue or chapel walls. You could have an animated visual display to illustrate your vows. With visuals that change throughout the night, matching the tone of the service, the speeches and the music. Projection mapping will be the perfect addition to those emotional moments and ensure that there isn’t a dry eye in the building. With the right projection mapping you can bring this joyous occasion to life.

Wedding cake projection: 

The possibilities are endless with how you can personalize this beautiful dessert. You no longer have to worry about buying the fanciest cake. A simple white frosted cake will do when you have projection mapping. No matter what, a cake can be customized to show whatever you want – such as custom created designs that match the theme and colors of the event, or even a slideshow of special moments leading up to the day!

Projection mapped wedding dress:

This was first seen as a stunning and innovative idea on fashion runways but has made its way into weddings too. Picture a bridal gown that changes colors, adds patterns and changes textures. Add incredible effects like doves flying from the bottom of the gown or flowers growing from it. The only limit is your imagination.

Arches and decor: 

Visualize a colorful archway with beautiful patterns and decorations for you and your love to tie the knot under. The arch lights up as you say I do and explodes with colors and sparks as you and your soulmate confirm your love.

Projection mapping on flowers that change color or bloom right in front of your eyes:

Flowers are always a huge part of any wedding. With projection mapping, you don’t need to commit to a floral arrangement right away. Your flower arrangement could be made to look like it’s blooming in real time, as speeches are made or while the music plays.

Memories slideshows and family:

Projection mapping could be used to show a slideshow of memories at the wedding reception. And with 3D projection mapping, these memories don’t just have to be on a flat wall, they could appear within objects, on the surface of a wedding cake, matching wall textures etc.
