These are the colors we're gearing towards for our wedding too. Such a wonderful color combo. Thanks for posting pics. It helps bring the ideas together.

Very excited, we got our paper laterns in the mail on Friday! So now I just need to make the LED throwies. As well we have decided the centerpieces will be a large glass vase filled with limes (green) and then we'll have a turquoise table runner, and some white candles to add some light.

Can I ask you where did you order your paper lanterns from?

Asianideas.com  We ordered 40 assorted sizes (10"-18") and the total included FedEx shipping to Canada was just over $100 CDN. Laterns were just over $60, shipping $48! Sigh..... But Since you're in the States, shipping will be way cheaper.  But for us it averaged to $2.75/latern, way cheaper than anywhere local. And they are quite nice.

Hey Murmel

 

What color did you end up getting? Since we have the same color scheme if you are interested in selling anything after let me know! Guess we can chat about it at the get together.

Hey Murmel,

Just wondering if you could share the instructions for making the LED throwies! I also ordered my lanterns from Asian ideas, but I'm looking for alternatives to the pricey LEDs.

Thanks,

We ordered a mix of turqoise, green and white. ( I would have to check the exact numbers of each color) 40 total. As long as they are come back in good condition I am sure I could sell them to you if you're interested. But since they are paper, I don't want to offer them to you until I know how many survive. LOL

 

I really have to get onto the get together. I should post something by Thursday.

There is a forum in the DIY section- called LED throwies. One of the girls also included a link to a website, I think called dealextreme??? You should double check, but we ordered the LED's and the batteries from there. (can't remember the price- FI did the order, but I know it was cheap)

I would be interested in any that survive LOL My wedding is not until April and my AHR July which is where I think I may want to use them to hide those ugly silver polls in the tent! Looking forward to the get together!
