celebratory lanterns

January was a bonus job ;)
I spoke to LH after being referred from a mutual friend (it turned out we actually had several mutual friends and even worked in the same firm though different states...we had never met!!!)

LH was getting married with all the ceremonies thrown in, from two different cultures. She needed help organising, decorating, and managing both sides of the families - and was weighing up doing it herself or engaging a wedding planner... After having a chat, quote etc LH decided to just go with a wedding planner and said thank you very much but no thanks.

So it was a pleasant surprise when I got a call from LH closer to January asking about the possibility on renting my lanterns for her dinner party for the same wedding she originally called me for!
So there we were, the three of us, one hot afternoon putting up lanterns and baubles on these trees that were installed for us at the Hotel ballroom. The theme was fushcia and orange, perfect colours to reflect the couple's happiness.


Some of my lanterns were also used by the hotel flourist so we tied the look inside and outside together.


I love these colours - they just look fantastic!
