Brides-to-be are always thinking about their weddings; collecting information, reading articles and looking at pictures. You may even have a wedding scrapbook that has been growing over the years waiting for that special day to arrive!

Chinese paper hanging lanterns and tissue pom poms are becoming more and more popular as decorations at weddings, both inside the reception venue or wedding marquee, and outside in the surrounding gardens. Many bridal parties are ditching the old tired look of balloons and opting for paper or nylon outdoor hanging lanterns that can be re-used time and time again.

Bold colours at weddings are making a comeback and are becoming a popular wedding trend for 2012. Making sure you select the right combination of wedding lantern colours is key to the overall look of your wedding.
There are many ways of choosing a wedding lantern colour scheme, why not use the season for inspiration:
Spring wedding – fresh lime lanterns and light yellow lanterns
Summer wedding – look at vibrant coloured paper lanterns including red, mango, turquoise and fuchsia
Autumn wedding – warm, soft toned lanterns suit autumn themed weddings best including grass green, dark purple and ivory
Winter weddings – create a winter wonderland wedding with white spiked tissue pom poms and blue nylon lanterns, or add a touch of Christmas to your wedding with red and green lanterns

Paper pom poms can be used alone or in conjunction with our hanging lanterns. We offer paper pompoms in a number of great colours to complement each other, and also in two petal styles. Our round petal paper pom poms offer a traditional, soft style of decoration, whilst the spiked petal tissue pompoms offer a more unique, contemporary decoration.

The Hanging Lantern Company has over 150 different Chinese lanterns, a wide range of tissue pompoms, wedding parasols, and Chinese hand-held fans, so you are sure to find some wedding decorations and accessories that suit your theme or colour scheme.

If you are looking for inspiration, why not take a look at our lantern photo gallery which includes marquee set-ups with different styles of Chinese lanterns and tissue pom poms.
