Wedding Latterns

For my daughters wedding last year I decorated lanterns

I used these as the table decorations and also the table numbers

I used the same love heart tree we used on the invitations

Cut it out of purple vinyl with their names and the dates 

This was place on two sides

On the other sides I put the numbers for the tables

Finally I finished the top with some curled ribbons

They are battery power so where safe to use around children.

We were also pleased we had them as we had a couple of short power cuts 

whilst at the reception and they gave out a lovely light that the ate the cake by
