    Girls, has anyone bought or searched for metal tea light/votive lanterns?  I have found a ton but they seem to be so expensive, anywhere from 12-18.00 dollars.  I have found a ton of moroccan lanterns but that doesn't really fit my theme.  My theme is more rustic, but some softness added by fabric and material included in the ceremony in different areas of the venue.  I want a more rustic looking metal lantern that isn't white, silver or bright colors.  I would prefer more brown, copper material.  I need them to hang on these shepard hooks that my FI made completely by hand with my future last name initial "F".  Those are the flower balls that will be hanging on the chairs closest to the aisle but we just wanted to make sure the hooks were sturdy enough so we won't be using the balls on those hooks.  We will have these down the sidewalk that I will walk down to the gazebo we are getting married in!

    Any suggestions?

    Sorry for the long post too!

    They have some small ones here: http://itsourday.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=489

    and I've seen the same ones at Michaels.  I'm not sure if it's the exact color you are looking for, but I'm sure you can spray paint the metal and make it look more rustic & old fashioned.  Good Luck!

    Have you tried Ikea? They have some for as little as $4.99... they have one that is darker (maybe black?)

    I just put a whole entry on my blog about the finds at Ikea and I fell in love with one of the smaller tealight lanterns there!

    There's a pic of the one in white I love!  It also comes in a tin/chrome color and in black which might match your shepherd hook!
