Show Me Your Lantern Centerpieces!

Pancakes, on July 28, 2014 at 9:03 AM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 12

We are doing a fall theme with purple as the main color and orange as an accent color. So far, I have the idea of having our escort cards (and favors) the photo strip frames with ribbon on them and a pumpkin charm. We will have the names, table number and a cute saying in the frame. Not sure if everyone's should be purple, or do the girls purple and the boys orange.

I bought all of the lanterns already. They will have flameless candles inside with a ribbon (not sure if it will be purple or orange) and a pumpkin charm. Then I was thinking having 4 mini pumpkins around the lantern with the table number on them. FH thinks we will need to raise the lantern up on a block and cover that with fabric and put the pumpkins over the fabric.

We will test this out in person once mini pumpkins are around. But I'd love to see other ideas for lantern centerpieces. Thanks!

    We are not doing lanterns, but we are using birdcages.

    1. Birdcages filled with flowers for smaller bird cages (inspiration)

    2. Birdcages filled with 3 tiered candles for larger bird cages (inspiration, kind of)

    3. These are the bird cages I'm using (painted bright white)

    This is our test /mock up centerpiece design. The small frames will be our table numbers and we'll have real flowers in vases and candles in the lanterns for the reception.

    Here were mine. I can't believe I did not get a pro pic with the candles in it. The first one was a guest's picture.

    I am hoping to incorporate lanterns, but I haven't decided what I'm going to do with them yet. The birdcage and lanterns are beautiful! Love seeing these ideas -- they are inspirational!

    I wish I had an image of what is going on in my head, but my vision is similar to Kims. I want to do lanterns that are boosted up a bit with some sort of moss and flowers around the base, with tealights around it and a large candle inside it. I will then be using wooden candles that are painted with golden glitter. All of this will be on a colored table cloth (probably burgundy but not 100% on that yet).

    Im taking it easy on the flowers for the lantern tables, and putting my flower budget to work on the high top flower arrangements that will be on other tables. Aka half laterns and half flower centerpeices. I guess well see what actually pans out...

    Our colours are purple, red and orange. We are having lanterns on pieces of wood. Our florist lives in the country and her husband cut the wood for us and she made wreaths out of dried grapevines. I saw a mockup she did and it looked really nice (I unfortunately forgot to take a photo!). Here is the inspiration photo.

    I took this from my florist's website Milan Floral and Decor, but this is similar to what we will have. I love everyone's centerpiece ideas!
