Paper Lanterns from Martha Stewart Weddings, Paper Lanterns at Emily & Garrett’s wedding from brides
Farah left a comment last week asking about finding paper lanterns in Australia. Paper lanterns look fabulous in wedding decor. During the ceremony they can be hung overhead. They can light the path to your venues, light your outdoor lounge area, be strung across the ceiling of your reception room, hung above tables and light up the dance floor.
So I went on a hunt and came up with these!
Vivid Room stocks a lot of different types, from Chinese lantern style, to dotty ones! They have a huge range of all kinds of sizes and shapes. They also have candle bags and paper votives.
14″ Eyelette lantern, Pink Polka Dot Set, Star Candle Bag
Pink Frosting has a big range of paper lanterns too in different shapes and designs (and their gorgeous shop is a little dangerous for impulse purchases!)
14″ Cherry Blossom Paper Lantern, 14″ Pink Polka Dot Paper Lantern, 30cm Flashy Pink Paper Ball Lantern
Chinatown Online stock a lot of traditional style ones (even in the shape of fish!
12cm Yellow Paper Lanterns in pink, purple and yellow.
Hope that takes you on the right path Farah and gave you what you needed! To all Polka Dot Bride readers- I’m always up for a challenge so send something my way!
oh, tq so much! u’r brilliant!
btw, i’ve found another website which sell paper lanterns and parasols in NSW http://www.chinatown.com.au/shope/
Thanks for the comment!
I just love your blog… and NOT just because it’s in my wedding colors (pink and brown)
Have a great day!
Oooo! I love those dotty paper lanterns! Fabulous!
Frah- That’s the shop I listed third!
Let me know which ones you buy! 🙂
Thanks Jasmine Marie!
I have managed to find a lot of paper lanterns (even on ebay) but without strings or lights? How are most of these lanterns attached to the lights?
I am after just the classic yellow/white lanterns on string of lights to drape across a dance floor! How do these light up?
Hi Gem,
With most of them you can buy strings of lights (just like a regular party light or fairy light) and then attach the paper lantern over each one.You can buy kits which have everything here http://www.vividroom.com.au/category62_1.htm
Or you can buy individual lights (like these http://www.partysuppliesnow.com.au/view-product.php?product_id=404&PHPSESSID=ad3d7be26a5042a8ab1fee4c263e16c0 ) or battery powered lights. If you search “paper lantern lights” you get lots of options 🙂
Hi,
I’m wondering where you can find the rectangle shaped paper lanterns that are featured in the photo on the left, hanging from the trees? I’m having trouble finding them and they would be perfect for my garden wedding.
Thanks
Hi Amy,
Does it need to be an Australian resource?
Here’s some lavender ones http://www.dhgate.com/rectangular-shaped-paper-lanterns-hanging/p-ff80808129b0c7be0129c6d22f7a3389.html

I’m amazed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s
both educative and engaging, and let me tell
you, you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is something not
enough folks are speaking intelligently about. Now i’m very happy
I found this during my search for something relating to this.
