Who used lanterns for their centerpeices?

I'm doing birdcage lanterns. I haven't seen them on tables though.

I'm doing large lanterns on my 60 inch table and I think they'll look fine. I couldn't imagine them being to small for you though?

I am planning on using lanterns. I too have 60" tables. My lanterns are smaller though for 2 reasons. 1. I don't want my centerpieces in people's faces 2. I feel like with my lanterns being fuchsia colored, and my table runners being gold/white chevron, I felt like the smaller lantern toned it down some. Ignore the flower vase in the back. I was working on multiple projects at one time...

I'm using these ikea lanterns. They are 11 inches and only $7.99 each. I'm planning on putting flowers around them. We had it on an almost 60 inch table and it looked fine.

Jamie, I love your table runner! My initial thoughts were 12" because I was also worried about it being too big, but my florist put doubts in my head. Mrs. R, those are the ones I think I'm getting as well, I just needed help deciding between 12 and 18 inch. Thanks everyone!

We are using those

from IKEA and I

thought the same thing

at first, the larger ones would be best. However, when we went to IKEA and saw them we decided for the smaller one as I was afraid it would be an obstacle for people to see around.

Thanks, Lynsey. Your decor was beautifu!

I'm going to do about 3 different center pieces for the (15) 60" tables, so that they all aren't the same. And I was going to do lanterns with flowers in them for some. This is my inspiration picture.. didn't really think through the sizing part.

I have 9" lanterns but they did look a little small on he table so I'm doing a cluster arrangement perched on a crate for height (or a tray - haven't decided yet) with a small bouquet and taper candles

I am using 12 inch lanterns on a 60" table as well. I am surrounding them with a few bud vases and some votive candles to fill out the space. We are also having some tables with really tall floral arrangements. Hopefully this works!
