Charming DIY Idea from Abroad: Using a Large Lantern as a Welcome Board

Essential Item for Overseas Weddings: Lanterns

A stylish decoration idea for international weddings that you might want to reference. One item that often appears at overseas weddings is the **lantern**.

They can be used for guest table arrangements or lined up in the welcome area...

Antique-style lanterns can elevate the space's aesthetic just by being placed there.

I discovered a fantastic DIY idea using large lanterns, and I'd like to share it with you♡

Wonderful Idea: Use Lanterns as a Welcome Board♡

This involves writing on the sides of the lanterns to use them as a welcome board♡

Writing the couple's names or "welcome," as well as an attractive party timetable, looks lovely♩

Don't forget to decorate the inside with candles—which are a must! You can also embellish the lanterns with flowers and ribbons.

The sides of the lanterns are made of glass or acrylic, so you can easily write on them using Posca or water-based acrylic pens.

If you can remove the glass or acrylic from the frame, trace over a draft. If not, you can do it freehand♩

Where to Buy Lanterns?

Lanterns are often seen online, but how can you acquire them?

After some research, it seems that several candle shops and interior shops carry them.

There are also relatively larger sizes that can be displayed in the welcome area＊

➡【Amazon】Lantern Light

The price is slightly under 10,000 yen, which is a bit pricey, but considering it can serve as a welcome board, it might be worth it◎

All you need then is an LED candle and a pen to DIY＊

Other Items Besides a Welcome Board♡

By freely writing on lanterns, you can DIY other items in addition to the welcome board＊

For example, a love story board that includes the couple's meeting or proposal date♡

You could use a smaller-sized lantern to place in the welcome space or at the head table◎

Lanterns Can Be Used Even More at Weddings♡

Stylish interior lanterns. Not only can you place candles inside, but by writing on the sides, they can transform into even more fashionable items♩

If you're aiming for a chic atmosphere like overseas weddings, consider incorporating them♩
