{Twinkle light alternatives: love the clean, whimsical look of the hanging lanterns - while they might be a little tricky to hang, the lit mason jars are simple to construct - a little colored tissue paper and (battery powered) votive candles will do the trick. If you're looking for just a little light accent, try using wire to hang glass votive holders & place your tea lights in the them.}
{These hanging lightbulbs are effortlessly romantic and the different sized bulbs hanging in the trees exudes a little vintage flair.}
{Clearly we're fans of the mason jar when it comes to lighting... so an entire fixture constructed from them? - perfect. The look is completed by using twinkle lights in the fixture as well as throughout the rest of the reception area.}
{Two different approaches to the hanging lantern: First, the string of decorative luminaries - a clean look, perfect for any summer wedding - round paper lanterns would also look great here as they come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. The next look - these candle sticks enclosed in glass lanterns are so enchanting and whimsical, when accompanied by the candles on the tables, this lighting scene is a definite wow factor amongst the decor! photos via Martha Stewart Weddings.}
{Of course you can never go wrong with twinkle lights! two different receptions, two different styles, and two completely different settings... and twinkle lights satisfy both magnificently! - If your dad hangs them every year for the holidays, he can do it again for your wedding! photos via Elizabeth Anne Designs and Style Me Pretty.}
{Being in the event industry, we have a huge appreciation for cohesiveness... even when comes to something as simple as our IE blog posts! In a recent post we displayed our love for the bunting trend, check out how to make your own lighted paper pennant garland from Once Wed.}
