A Red-Toned Editorial Defining the 2026 Wedding Trend

The Hall of Lights wedding venue in Carrollton TX is more than a place to host a celebration, it’s a living work of art. Designed with intentional architecture, immersive lighting, and modern lines, this venue sets the stage for weddings that feel elevated, expressive, and unforgettable.

Some wedding venues are beautiful. Others are memorable. And then there are rare spaces that feel like art itself. The Hall of Lights in Carrollton, Texas is firmly in that last category.

From the moment you step inside, the venue feels immersive, intentional, sculptural, and designed to evoke emotion. Every line, reflection, and architectural detail works together to create an atmosphere that doesn’t just host weddings, but transforms them.

A Venue Designed as Art

The Hall of Lights is more than a backdrop; it’s a statement. Clean architectural forms meet dramatic lighting, creating depth and movement throughout the space. The way light interacts with the interior makes the venue feel alive, constantly shifting, constantly inspiring.

For couples who see their wedding day as an artistic expression rather than a traditional formula, this venue offers endless creative freedom. It doesn’t compete with design, it elevates it.

The Editorial: Red as the Language of 2026

For this editorial, the creative direction centered on red tones, intentional, bold, and emotionally charged. Red is no longer just an accent color; it’s emerging as a defining element of modern weddings and shaping what we’ll see everywhere in 2026.

This shoot embraced red as a mood:

• Deep, romantic hues that felt powerful rather than predictable
• Editorial styling that pushed beyond soft neutrals
• A color story rooted in confidence, passion, and individuality

Set against the architectural artistry of The Hall of Lights, the red tones felt effortless, almost inevitable. The venue didn’t just support the vision; it amplified it.

Why The Hall of Lights Is Perfect for Editorial Weddings

What makes this venue truly exceptional is its ability to hold strong creative direction. Editorial concepts, bold color palettes, and fashion-forward styling don’t overwhelm the space, they belong there.

Whether photographed in minimal tones or rich color stories, The Hall of Lights adapts while maintaining its identity. That balance is rare, making it ideal for couples seeking something elevated, modern, and unforgettable.

This editorial wasn’t just about showcasing a venue, it was about capturing where weddings are headed.
Weddings in 2026 will be:
