"I would not hesitate to recommend your services to any of my friends or family for weddings, parties or special occasions.  Everyone was so complimentary and loved the lanterns, we were so happy with how it all looked!!"

When planning her relaxed, quintessentially English country wedding Elle decided she wanted hanging lanterns and bunting – a friend of hers, who also happens to be a wedding planner, suggested The Hanging Lantern Company and our expert Natalie began to guide Elle step by step through one of our popular hanging lantern images. 

Elle said “there wasn't anything in particular that inspired my "look"; I knew what I wanted and searched on Pinterest and in bridal magazines to piece together ideas that matched with what I had in mind.  Pinterest and Etsy proved to be gold mines.......and both VERY addictive! I chose soft vintage sage green as the key colour, with lots of blush pinks and creams and just worked everything from there!”

Natalie recommended keeping the irregular ribbed lanterns neutral in colour and would look best in the garden marquee in Elle’s parent’s garden. 75 soft ivory paper lanterns were used in total across a range of small, medium and large sizes with just over half of the lanterns being illuminated by warm white Buttonlites. The overall look was to be similar to a fete but not one with bales of hay or cider!

“Thank you so much for such detailed guidance with this; it was exactly what we needed!! 
You were so helpful.  I honestly cannot fault your knowledge and enthusiasm to ensure you got things right for me.  Without you I wouldn't have known where to start! You answered all my questions (however stupid they were!) and made sure I was ordering the right thing.  Your explanation of the best way to hang the lanterns and where to buy the right clips and wire from proved invaluable.  Thank you!!

I would not hesitate to recommend your services to any of my friends or family for weddings, parties or special occasions.  Everyone was so complimentary and loved the lanterns, we were so happy with how it all looked!! The lanterns absolutely made the overall look of our marquee, I lost count of the compliments we had on the day, and since, about how spectacular they looked.  We will absolutely be using you again; if I ever have a big party (eeek, 30 next year, AND my parents 40th anniversary!) or even a garden party, I will definitely buy my lanterns from you.”
