Thinking about using Lanterns in your wedding in one way or another? Well, here are some fun ways you can do use them.







You can find Colored Lanterns here at Save-On-Crafts.com!

These Moroccan-inspired Jar Lanterns are so cute and if you are having a Moroccan theme bridal shower or wedding, they are inexpensive decorations. Perhaps you may not want to use them as centerpieces but they would be beautiful hanging from some trees or lining the path to your reception. 

Materials:

• old glass jars (spaghetti jars, jam jars or any plain glass jar will work)
• gold dimensional puff paint
• glass paint (Delta or Pebeo Vitrea glass paint are great options)
• paintbrush
• wire (optional, for hanging lanterns)

Instructions:

1. Remove labels and any glue residue from the glass jars and allow them to dry completely.
2. Apply the gold dimensional paint in various patterns. You can use the applicator tip to create small stud-like dots, draw various decorative patterns or push around the paint to create solid areas of gold. Let dry.



3. Pour a small amount of glass paint inside the jar and use your paintbrush to drag the paint up the sides of the jar, coating all of the jar’s interior. Let dry.
4. Your lanterns are now ready to enjoy indoors or out! Simply fill them with candles or add loops of fine-gauge wire to the tops for easy hanging.

It's Fall, which means everywhere I turn I see pumpkins, pumpkins and more pumpkins. If you are a bride planning a Fall wedding, you are probably wondering how you can use the cute, affordable, mini pumpkins you've been seeing and a great way is by using them as place cards holders!

Look at the beautiful inspiration...aren't they cute?

Isn't it amazing what you can find at Dollar Tree these days? My latest find are these 8" LED Battery Operated White Paper Lanterns that are selling for only $1.00 a piece. You don't have to run from store to store trying to find all you need for your wedding. Online you can buy a case of 48 and have it shipped to your local Dollar Tree store via UPS for free. However, as usual, I am urging you to hurry and place your order soon because items like these don't stay in stock for very long!

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw these tall, glass, tealight candleholders at DollarTree.com just moments ago! They are only a dollar each and come in three different sizes: 6", 7" and 8". They would look so beautiful grouped together or set around a simple centerpiece like you see in the photo below.  It's an affordable way to add a romantic, warm, inviting look and feel to your event.



Be sure to buy your candleholders soon because items like these go out of stock quickly! So make your purchase as soon as possible!

The "Unity Cord" or "God's Knot" can be used instead of unity candles or the sand pouring ritual during your ceremony. It's made up of three separate strands...each one signifies the union of the husband and wife with God in the center, keeping you together, when it's braided!  The white strand represents the bride, the purple strand represents the groom and the gold strand, which sits in the middle, represents God! It's such a beautiful sentiment and the cord itself is lovely too! You can buy it here at God's Knot for $39.99!

Look at these beautiful Unity Candle Sets!
