Four Uses for Summer Lanterns

There are a range of possibilities if you're looking to use lanterns in your summer wedding.

Fill with Flowers

Lanterns aren't just for candles. Fill your wedding lanterns with bright flowers for a more colorful effect. If you're hosting an outdoor wedding, you can hang them outside with ribbon or twine.

Light the Way

Lighted lanterns also make great aisle decor. If the lanterns are smaller, you can hang them directly on the chairs. If they're larger, sit them by the first seat of every row to light the way down the aisle!

Create a Rustic Centerpiece

Lanterns can be the perfect table centerpiece for a rustic summer wedding. Try complimenting them with tea lights, wooden blocks, or small branches.
