When I saw this first image of a marquee with a pathway of glowing paper lanterns, it made me all fuzzy inside. It took me back a few years to when my sister got engaged. I remember filling paper bags with sand and candles and placing them outside the marquee that was now sat in our front yard. They looked stunning.
I can't think of an easier, yet effective way to warmly usher you guests into your welcoming arms than by using simple luminaries. I'm glowing !
