what fun...

to be strolling through trees draped with lanterns. I clipped this photo from Marie Claire awhile back and cannot, unfortunately, credit the photographer (please let me know if you know!). But I do love it.

lantern love

I love- LOVE- this paper lantern installation from in search of the real captain kk. Check out the 'plan'- love her sketch on that grid paper.

i spy: mish-mash lantern garland

It seems this mish-mash lantern garland (originally via d*s, pictured at top) is all the rage. I've spotted two other versions so far and love all of the interpretations! Middle picture from an engagement celebration via 7-year wedding; bottom photo from Audrey's mad hatter party via Simple Lovely.

hanging tutorial

Lots of you asked about hanging techniques after seeing this paper lantern ensemble. Lucky for you, Ashley Ann posted a tutorial. Instructions right here.

lantern smorgasbord

I love this mish-mash tangle of lanterns and garlands...spotted on DesignSponge's 'daybed pallet makeover'. Apparently all supplies came from Martha Stewart's party line at Walmart. Could be great for everyday room decor (as shown), or as a festive addition to your party!
