What a BLESSING!

So here's the inspiration for the center aisle of our wedding ceremony.

As most of you know, everything will be by candlelight. Well I'd planned to order the lanterns in the next few months. The price online was about $10/ea. Great huh?! Well I stumbled down Target's clearance aisle last week and guess what they had????


LANTERNS!!!!



The price? $2.50/ea.
We needed 16 and they had exactly 16! What a blessing for us!!! It looks brown in the photo because the lamp shining on it has a brown hue on the lamp shade, but they're black. We're putting white votive candles inside of them (NOT tealights. They go out too quickly) and using a silky red ribbon to tie them around the pews like they used in the photos. We also my sprinkle some red rose petals in the bottom of each lantern for the candle to sit on.
