Decorate with lanterns
The paper lanterns are highly acclaimed married for room decoration to dress as they allow space while bringing color. If you have decided to embark on a decoration with lanterns, here are some tips. I will attempt in this article to answer recurring questions we pose the bride and groom.
How to fix the lanterns?
For the frame is invisible, we recommend the nylon thread or fishing line to hang your lanterns. However careful to choose a sufficiently strong fishing line because if a lantern looks light, many lamps on the same thread begin to make weight. Favour of resistant nylon thread at least 8kg.
The other question when you realize a ceiling lanterns is how to attach the nylon thread. If you have a ceiling with hooks (beams, hooks ...) you can use them for attaching your nylon thread by making a tight knot (see more nodes for added security). If you lack lashing points you can use adhesive hooks that you'll stick to the wall or magnetic hooks if the room have metal beams. With these attachments you can hang your lantern anywhere you like.
If the room has a high ceiling height, you can of course use a scale, but also thinking of telescopic poles to fix your hooks in hard. This is what used by professionals to reach their ceiling decoration.
How have the lamps?
It all depends on the desired effect. You can fill your lanterns ceiling completely above the room or rather prefer a profusion effect over some areas of the room. You can place such paper lanterns only above the dance floor.Conversely, you can have only the above table to create a cocooning effect.
To have your lanterns on the room, guests can opt for a horizontal grid line or zigzag form of mesh. Stretch your following and nylon thread the desired effect. We advise you to mix different sizes of lanterns and different colors for a more harmonious effect. If you also have the opportunity to play at different heights, the result will be even more beautiful. Hang vertical and son of different lengths to the main frame that cross the room for in s.
As you will see during assembly, it is not easy to ensure that the lanterns are in the right place on the wire, they tend to move. For that do not hesitate to make a loop in the nylon thread around the hook of metal lantern and the lantern will remain fixed on the wire.
What number of lanterns?
Again the answer will depend on the desired effect. If you want to dress up the whole room, we recommend at least one lantern per m² (see also according lanterns sizes selected). If you'd rather a wealth effect in some places, it will instead rely lanterns 3 per m². You can even stick the lamps next to each other. If you make large tables all in length, you can for example have the cluster lamps above the tables.
How lanterns illuminate?
To light your lanterns without electrical installation, the solution lies in the LEDs without connection. These small battery lamps which has a switch tongue and a wire for hanging. You can then suspend them inside the paper lantern. The purpose of these is to create mini LED floodlight. You can not use them as the main lighting. If you want a brighter effect, you can even provide 2 LEDs per lamp.
These LEDs have a range of about forty hours, so it is advisable to switch them as late as possible. Over time, the brightness tends to diminish as a result of the wear of the batteries.
Dare mixtures

Consider including lanterns accordion balls that will give another dimension to your decoration. Thepaper honeycomb balls and paper rosettes will also look great. Not to mention the timeless tassel flowers. You can mix these different suspensions. Our advice: play on a wealth effect by tightening the different paper decorations and mixing colors. This will create beautiful colored clusters.
