Dan & Rhi's lantern canopy - Real Wedding

"Aimee at the Hanging Lantern Company was able to put my idea into reality.  She was incredibly helpful and the whole process was so quick and pain free – unlike other aspects of wedding planning!! "

Dan & Rhi tied the knot on the 17th May 2014 with a ceremony followed by reception at the Corn Barn, Cullompton.

“The day was really relaxed, personal and hand made. Along with my troop of merry makers we made 40 metres of wool pompom bunting, hung over 100 paper lanterns from the Hanging Lantern Company, grew our own flowers, painted 50 tin cans, printed over 500 photos, made all the invitations, order of ceremony, confetti, bride and groom mice, embroidered all the table numbers, drank copious amounts of pimms and prosecco and ate lots of hog roast and cheese.  All of this on the sunniest Saturday in May!!

I wore a Maggie Sottero dress from Pirouette in Exeter with a cathedral length veil, swapping it for a Kye Tew comb for the evening.  Dan had a tailor made suit in checked brown tweed from Victor Valentine.  The bridesmaids all had a different colour dress and the ushers different ties. It was such a pretty, colourful and happy wedding.

Thanks so much to the brilliant Jamie Bott photography for capturing the essence of the day in his amazing photographs.

I saw an image on Pinterest of lots of coloured round lanterns hanging randomly in a barn and totally fell in love with the look so saw your link on Facebook and enquired.  I looked on EBay originally but the communication was so hard.  It was so simple with you manufacturing and stocking the exact round hanging  lanterns in the colours and sizes we wanted.

Aimee at the Hanging Lanterns company was able to put my idea into reality.  She was incredibly helpful and the whole process was so quick and pain free – unlike other aspects of wedding planning!!  Aimee helped me work out how many brightly coloured wedding lanterns I would need and the colours and sizes that would work well together.  Everyone at the wedding was completely spell bound by the effect the paper lantern canopy created and they look incredible in the photos.  I am so happy to look back at the photos of our special day and see the beautiful bright lanterns!”
