Summer, the perfect time to plan your Christmas decorations

Summer is the ideal time to design your Christmas decorations. Free from the autumn rush, summer lets you test ideas, refine lighting concepts, and secure timelines while optimizing cost. This means: more creativity, a seamless lighting design that elevates your spaces and captivates audiences. At Leblanc illuminations, we guide you through : eco-design workshops, mood-boards and sonography workshops to combine aesthetics, energy efficiency and ease of installation. Whether you're a local authority, installer or distributor, starting now secures decoration choices, logistics, and project success.

What summer makes possible (That no other season offers)

Early planning maximizes results, from product selection and visual impact to operational efficiency and return on investment.

On-site lighting audits

• Spotting in daylight, mapping eye-catching points, useful heights, flow, access. You start from a measured project site, not from assumptions.

Creative sprints and mood-boards

• Short workshops to define themes, palettes, materials and lighting dynamics. Mood-boards and infographics avoid last-minute back-and-forth and bring decision-makers together.

Computer graphics, simulations and night tests

• In our workshops, we create 3D renderings, test colour, intensities and visibility. You can validate step by step.

📗 Imagine your scenography, our teams make it real.

Christmas decorations: high-impact summer tips

A clear process transforms a good idea into a high-performance project. Here's the Leblanc illuminations method, tried and tested.

1. Fast-track planning

• July–August: site audits, concept, quotation and validation

• September: orders, logistics.

• October: delivery, testing, technical preparation.

• November: installation, lighting and final reveal.

• December: Communications planning (lighting event, social networks).
  
  

2. Choose lighting style

Define your visual DNA:

• Traditional (warmth, heritage) or contemporary (clean design).

• Monumental (crossings, porticos, domes) or intimate (plazas, roundabouts, pedestrian streets).

• Light palette and rhythms for a memorable light show and scenography.

3. Capitalize on key resources

(👇click below to access exclusive content)

• Leblanc illuminations catalogue: trends, best practices and a wide choice of Christmas decorations.

• HALTO catalogue : technical solutions and combinations.

• We Love Lights : portfolio of inspiring creations.

• Website and digital content : "Resources" (blog articles, projects, interactive catalogues) for information, comparing options and making decisions.
  

These tools make it easier to align stakeholders and avoid costly las-minute changes.

4. Engage stakeholders Early

By involving technical teams, installers, distributors, and communications departments as early as summer, you ensure:

• Timely decisions

• Clear responsibilities

• Smooth approvals

• A successful public launch

📑 Ask for an express scoping workshop (60 min): from brief to retro-planning, leave with an action plan and reference budget.

Efficiency and sustainability: designing to last

Circular design: reusable structures, upgradeable modules, repairable finishes. Summer is the time to think about storage, handling and multi-year reuse.

Energy management: High-efficiency LEDs, lighting scenarios: we reduce consumption without sacrificing emotion.

Overall budget: we think in terms of total cost: purchase + installation + operation + maintenance. High-impact/low-consumption effects are favoured.

Case study: The City of Pia (France)
