Suspended White Lantern with Lattice Pattern
These refined lanterns come with an elegant stand. It’s a great option to give the illusion of height without having a bulky centerpiece that will block your guest’s eyesight.
I like the ideas of creating a flowery basis with fuschia lilies or purple peonies to add a punch of color to your table decor at low cost.

A classic design that matches most wedding themes. You can decorate it easily by adding flowers and foliage through the design holes. If you do so make sure to always use LED lights and not a live flame.

Moroccan style lanterns have the particularity of being beautiful to look at with a daylight and spectacular when lit during the evening.
The designs on it project flickering light with amazing patterns all around them. A treat for the eyes!
Decorating Your lanterns with Flowers and Foliage
The cost of such of decorating lantern mainly depends on the number of fresh flowers you’ll need, multiplied by the cost of the lantern. This rustic cream color lantern has a Moroccan style.
It’s decorated with 2 different sorts of flowers: dark pink begonia, and purple verbena.
Choosing Textures and Colors
Foliage can be a good way to fill the spaces and make the arrangement look lush without spending a fortune on flowers.
I suggest choosing flowers that have vibrant colors and not more than 3 or 4. You can also choose flowers that catch the eye like hydrangeas.
They are pretty big, though. Just make sure to place them at the bottom of the lantern or in a way that doesn’t hide other visual aspects of the centerpiece.
The foliage I used is wine-like Lophospermum, silver artemisia and… Carrot leaves at the top of the lantern. Carrot foliage is visually interesting, isn’t it?
Who would have thought…!
Lanterns are always chic and are visually appealing. If you want to use them for your wedding table centerpieces then you should take advantage of wholesale and also from discounts offered by many merchants on Amazon.
You can also save by using fewer flowers and more foliage that as a great visual aspect as shown earlier.

Also, I know from experience that making your own wedding centerpieces is cheaper than renting them.
There are many reasons to take advantage of the online merchant’s inventory. One of those reasons is that large retailers offer a huge and diversified choice of items in a variety of colors and sizes compared to storefronts. In fact, physical stores may not be able to provide enough units since they have a limited stock.

The truth is, running physical store results in more expenses than running one online. That’s why the same products are sometimes consistently higher priced than they are on Amazon for example.

Hope you enjoyed these ideas. The Internet offers plenty of savings opportunities when it comes to wedding related items like fashion and decor.
However, if you plan to buy wedding centerpieces online (or anything else for that matter) make sure you choose a trustworthy merchant.
I personally always read past buyer’s review and questions and answers before buying anything from them.
This information helps you grasp their level of satisfaction concerning, product quality and respect of the delivery schedule, warranties, etc.
If there are no reviews available for a specific item, note that a good merchant will also answer in a timely manner any potential customer’s inquiries.
So don’t be shy to ask questions directly to the vendor.
