Our Favorite Lanterns & Luminaries
Light up your scene
String them, hang them, light them and spark the scene.
Adding a touch of light here and there—or everywhere—transforms a gathering from simple to exquisite. Your tablescape can speak for itself, but light it up and ensure that the work you put in can be admired all evening long.
Here are our favorite lanterns to shed some light on your party.
Solar hanging lanterns
Hanging LED lanterns
Paper bags with votive flameless tealights
Tabletop lanterns
String lights
Bonus: Adding lights to your scene also keeps the party going on. Rather than guests heading out after night falls, lights cozy up the scene and encourage guests to hold onto the party mood. So light them up and party on.
