The following post is from ’s blog, Girly Wedding.

Leave a Light on: Lovely Lanterns. I love this trend. Lanterns are such a wonderful addition to a wedding or a party. And lanterns are versatile, they can be used as centerpieces, wedding decorations, wedding lighting, placeholders, and even wedding favors. And they are a great alternative to wedding flowers. Ive collected a few of my favorite wedding lanterns below.

This could be my most favorite. I love the creativity behind using lanterns instead of floral bouquets. It is so romantic and elegant. And the candle lanterns make great wedding pictures.

These wedding aisle lanterns are amazing. A more modern alternative to pew bows or flowers

These wedding reception lanterns framed in greenery add a very crisp and modern look to your table. Metal lanterns are a great alternative to the traditional floral centerpieces. And they look pretty stunning. And how fun are the pears?

These wedding lanterns are displayed with small green potted plants. An eco-friendly centerpiece and beautiful.

Wedding paper lanterns are a very popular wedding decoration. They are relatively inexpensive and a little can go a long way. I love the mixture of the wedding colors and the small lights in this one. Flying House has a good DIY paper lanterns.
