I know I introduced all of you to Kristin a few days ago and promised she’d be making a cameo on the blog every now and then. She’s getting started with her weekly post on what’s currently inspiring her and this week she’s sharing a handful of her favorite chandelier alternatives for your wedding, celebration or maybe even your home, if you’re up for it. Take a peek! My personal favorite are those umbrellas! So charming!!
FROM KRISTIN
We all love chandeliers at a wedding and they are absolutely gorgeous! However, there are also so many other options for beautiful & fun lighting that we think gets overlooked. For instance, we can’t wait to have a beautiful outdoor celebration using the amazing umbrellas below. And the butterflies? Shower guests would be in awe if surrounded by lanterns made of the sweet insects or any other fun cut out for that matter. Even Morrocan lanterns can be great if your aesthetic allows, as they bounce festive patterns of light on everything around them and are perfect in front of any great backdrop or even over a dance floor.
Almost any object can be made into a charming lighting (& conversation) piece. Some of our favorites include champagne cork pendants or a chandelier made out of old book pages. Even items from your kitchen can make for unexpected decor like the old milk bottles or spoon chandelier shown below. If you are going for a more glam check out that net of crystals. Add a bit of uplighting for a bit of drama above any dance floor. And, if you are still a chandelier gal, but want an added twist, get inspired by the one below framed in a bird cage. It’s a great piece.
