Lighting is important. Nothing beats some soft, warm light, especially if you've been under florescents all day. I like waterfall lightsand salt lamps. Additionally, tidying up for 10-15 minutes and then burning some incense always ups my mood and makes the place feel nicer.
This is really out there so I definitely won't be offended if you hate it, but the very first thought in my head was to pick up one of these string lights. Arrange them along the edges of the layers of your skirt and get your seamstress to sew a little pocket in for the battery pack. Have your beautiful ceremony in your gorgeous dress, but when you enter the reception turn on the string lights and BANG you are the disco ball 😂 I suppose it depends on how wild your guests/theme is, but I could see a handful of women in my life doing this and rocking it :)
Thank you! I got them off of Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LLSNG1E/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Shit, I thought I sent this reply before I left -- Here is what I ended up doing after some trial and error with how I could best mount the wire and everything: I used EL wire, I bought my wire locally but its also all over Amazon. I wired them to the battery but the wires run on AC power, not the DC power the battery is producing, so I wired in an inverter just before each EL wire to convert the DC to AC. Each side of my bike uses 1 9ft EL wire, I think I spent maybe $20 total. I found a bit of superglue was the best way to hold the wire on the bike with straight lines as the EL wire likes to get all wavy otherwise. And in order to break up the single lengths of wire into separate shapes, I drilled wire-size holes in the fairings where I could run the wire in and out of view at the spots where I wanted to hide the wire.
I usually just do strings of battery operated lights, you can sew them to a fur vest and leave the battery pack in a pocket, or sew them to the outside of your backpack and tuck the battery pack inside. Put a string on your bike too, ziptie the battery back to the frame. They have about a thousand brands of them on amazon for <$10. They come in different colors, or color changing.
I poked around some and found this EL wire on Amazon that's pretty inexpensive. This is another source that may help out. I suppose you could go with a fluorescent fixture that is quite common in industrial areas but that would require some additional tools and possibly wiring knowledge.
Are you looking for some sort of atmospheric all-around glow or a stark, minimalist look?

Be careful i ordered two sets separately and got two different colors. didn't notice until i had cut and shortened the wires. set up was super easy and they look great up close. luckily the left shelf is the wifes and she likes that color more.
I think it's more cost effective to go with a Ryzen 5 1600 + B350 motherboard. It'll have no problems with 1080p / 60 FPS and has a longer potential upgrade path. You can take the $100 saved and put it toward 2x8GB DDR4-2800+ RAM or change out your single stick for 2x4GB sticks of RAM and pocket the difference.
Personally, I wouldn't really bother spending that much money on RGB fans for the case. I'd rather get a roll of 5050 LED strips on Amazon and plug it into the motherboard. I got several meters for under $10 and a pack of solderless connecters for under $10 and was able to light up my case and my wifes case with lots left over. Just make sure you get a board with a couple RGB headers, and you'd be good to go.

Just dropped by to say, PLANTS AND LAMPS AND PLANTS AND LAMPS AND... yeah. Consider a light curtain along a bland wall -- or you can thumb-tack strings of warm white LED lights into artistic shapes to both brighten and add interest to your walls.
It looks sad because there's nothing alive in there. Cut a snippet of ivy that's hanging out onto the sidewalk, stick it in dirt, water it occasionally, and you'll have a wonderful air-cleaning houseplant.
Thank you! This is definitely my favorite room of the house. I want to share the joy of the LED string lights lol
The simplest method:
Get these battery powered lights that run on 3 AA batteries. Instead of using the battery pack, connect them to the RV wiring using an adjustable voltage buck converter adjusted to 4.5 volts. Connect a switch in there if desired.
Check the voltage of the battery pack to make sure it's outputting 4.5V before connecting the lights. If you don't have multimeter, buying one will be well worth the investment for this project and any future projects. You'll need it to set the voltage of the buck converter as well. Final note, when doing any vehicle wiring, make sure you're connected to a proper fuse.
This are the lights. Will take all the suggestions regarding the position of the lights thanks guys!

The Amazon link page seems to be down, but you can use any 4 pin rgb led strips

Which allows me to control them via Alexa,siri,or Google assistant 👍
According to the Amazon page for the lights - the lights are 12v. I think i was confusing myself between using a relay switch and not using a relay switch.
According to the documentation here the 5v is for the relay switch, not the lights.
This is why i need to talk this out with people who know more than I do.
I use these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XJKOCBG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 connected to a wifi plug so I can turn them on off with alexa. You would need a set for each case. If you wanted the best look youd use two sets for each case one in front and one in back.
or you can do the cheap and in my opinion non professional looking route and buy a long strip of leds and just wrap them around the inside of the case.
If you know how to solder, you could buy some cheap led strips, some wire, heat shrink, and a power supply/controller and make them really really cheap but it wont be as clean looking unless you make or some kind of housing with a diffuser for them.
IMO the link above gives your cases a significantly more professional look, but at a bigger cost.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XJKOCBG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 These lights work really well for detolf. They are on an aluminum backing which acts as a heat sink, has a diffuser. Are just white lights so they show the colors of the figures better than say a rgb strip since rgb white is not true white but rather a blueish white. The lights are cool to the touch so they are not emitting any noticeable heat to damage the figures, partly in thanks to the aluminum acting as a heat sink.
Pretty sure it's some fairy lights wrapped tight enough around the cat that they're disappearing into its fur.
Lighting & capitalizing on wall space! I honestly cannot recommend enough how cozy and whimsy these lights have been in my room. Auto cozy & great ambient warm light - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LLSNG1E?psc=1&ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_product\_details
LED strips or twinkle lights behind a very sheer curtain against a wall could work well!
Here’s a good pack of twinkle lights I just found on Amazon, although I’d check the length of your wall if you want it floor to ceiling :)
