Centerpieces With Candle Lanterns
Candles always create a comfy and cozy ambience, wherever you put them, and candle lanterns are amazing for creating a welcoming feel at the table. Choose a lantern according to the look you want to achieve: it can be antique, rustic, modern or any other, and it can be made of metal, wood or both. A wooden candle lantern will be amazing for rustic, backyard and romantic weddings, shiny metal lanterns are amazing for modern and minimalist décor, and antique looking lanterns will bring an amazing touch to many décor styles and themes.
A candle lantern will be a base for creating a centerpiece, and you need to add flowers, flower petals and maybe small candle holders. Florals and foliage should fit your color scheme, style and the florals that you used for decorating other spaces. Bold pink or red roses, or eucalyptus, or just succulents – it’s up to your wedding style and what you like.
