Lantern Centerpieces
So today I will be talking about lantern centerpieces. Now that we are plummeting into fall and winter is right around the corner, lanterns always bring a warm feel to a cold night. I found some cool centerpieces that used a variation of lanterns from The Knot.
Here is just a few ideas on how to dress up lanterns for your event and/or dinner table;
- Surround the bottoms with flowers. A way to keep them all in place is by buying or making a wreath to place around the bottom. It will keep everything tight and together. Examples are pics 1 and 5. Hydrangea, roses, sticks and a tomato adorn the table on pic 1. Pic 5 is a fall medley with colorful leaves, and a pumpkin with a red candle.
- Another option is stones. In pics 2 the designer used chicks and hens (the green plants), a pink rose, and light colored stones to dress up the table with a very clean, zen feel. Inside the lantern they used orange and yellow rose petals and an orange candle to bring color to the table. Another option for a fun Halloween feel would be to use candy corn instead of rose petals.
- In pic 4 they used clear glass dishes filled with dark colored stones and white orchids to decorate the surrounding area of the lantern. They also added some extra tea lights and flowers vases. A very spring like feel.
- Lastly is pic 3, which has a very Moroccan feel. The middle is a bouquet of mini pink and orange roses, looks like there maybe some carnations and Gerber's in there too. They added some grapes, which where something that where fed to the gods by their goddesses. There are also rose petals and amber tea lights intertwined between the lanterns.
Check out "The Shop" our lanterns collection is extensive with different designs to suit every need.
