If you are having a bohemian style backyard wedding, it's all about the small details -- like love lanterns -- that set your nuptials apart. From artist and "display guru" Mallory Lawson and featured on the Free People blog as a part of their FP Ever After series, the DIY lanterns add a sense of realness to the big day, not to mention a beautifully romantic touch to a nighttime reception.
The light pyramids can be lit within using flameless candles and set along a path or on tables with flowers and candles. To make your own love lanterns, you will need balsa wood square dowels, vellum paper or a translucent fabric, wire and a hot glue gun among other tools and materials.
