A Few More Outdoor Lighting Options To Consider For The Backyard, Part 3
There are many different outdoor lighting styles to choose from that one can get overwhelmed or flustered by the choices. If you have an outdoor theme, try to stick with the theme or environment you are trying to create. This will add a dramatic and unique look to your Outdoor Landscape. The first two articles discussed fire pots, torches, and Solar Lighting as alternatives to traditional outdoor lighting when decorating. This is the third article installment about outdoor lighting, highlighting lanterns and lamps.
A lantern is a portable light used to illuminate rooms or surrounding areas. An outdoor lantern gives the yard a classic and traditional feel. Lanterns add subtle lighting when enjoying a summer meal, or lounging around the deck. Here are few kinds of lanterns to gaze at:
Parasol Stained Glass Lantern
Bring a bold and cheerful splash of color and light with stained glass outdoor lighting. They are stylish alone, but when added together with the different colors, create a trendy glow. And all that’s needed to illuminate them are tea light candles. The colors that are available are green, amber, fuchsia, and turquoise. These lanterns can be placed on a tabletop or outdoor coffee table. They can also be used as a lighting decoration for the deck.
Iron and Glass Mosaic Lantern
A mosaic style stained glass lantern brings life to any outdoor evening setting. It is crafted from a durable steel frame that houses beautifully coined stained glass panels. The lantern’s hues give off radiance and add brightness—perfect for any season. It has a hinged door and sturdy iron ring, perfect for hanging, and accepts a candle that is 1 ½ inches in diameter. Set this lantern by a door outside your home, or on a tabletop indoors, and is a charming and quaint accent perfect for any occasion, big or small.
Gazebo Lights
Brighten up the frame of your gazebo with gazebo lights. These battery-operated lights will last for years without damaging your gazebo (LED bulbs do not burn hot). They are powered by a battery pack that includes four “D” batteries. They also run on rechargeable Ni-Cad batteries (batteries and charger not included). A total of 64 Led Lights come with the kit and the bulbs can easily be installed in minutes. Sixteen lights line each post of the gazebo and meet at the top center of the gazebo canopy or steel frame. This set of gazebo lights are weather-resistant and will not attract insects to your outdoor gathering, allowing you and your guests’ time to enjoy the glow.
If you are looking for more of a traditional style of outdoor lighting, lamps are a great alternative. Outdoor lamps brighten up dark pathways and areas outside your home. Crafted from weather durable materials, lamps can withstand harsh weather conditions and will last a long time. Here are a few types of lamps to consider:

What's the best way to hang Paper Lanterns (with restrictions) for an outdoor wedding?
We're not allowed to hang them from trees. And we're only allowed two hours for set-up. So, we're looking for something that is portable and we can do beforehand and bring to our wedding site.
Thanks!
Zip ties! You can get white or clear.... maybe even brown if you look hard enough. Then you can zip tie them around the "gazebo" or whatever you are getting married in. Make sure to take a scissors to cut them down afterwards though. I am also getting married outside .... w/ restrictions to nails, etc.
