MemberWe’re going to decorate our tents with chinese lanterns, which we’re going to light with little battery operated LED lights.. My colors are tangerine orange and sage green, and we’re trying to decide what colors to use for the lanterns.
We’re having some disagreement over what colors to use. Please cast your vote and let me know what you think!
MemberI think it really depends on how much you use your colors in other aspects of the decor. If the linens, flowers, etc. are all going to be tangerine/green, then the lanterns in the same color might be too much. If you don’t have the colors prominently used elsewhere, then I thnk having a mix of tangerine/green lanterns would be fun and festive. Otherwise, I’d stick with white or white plus the color that is used less (the accent color).
MemberOrange and white… I think you should be thinking in terms of photography as well and I’m sure you wouldn’t want your tents to look like someone is being Avada Kedavra – ed! Orange AND White will result in a glowy, warm cast over all your photographs
MemberGood point @elaineathon – I’m still figuring our the rest of the decor, but I’m thinking its going to be white tablecloths, orange napkins, and green/orange/white flowers in our centerpieces. We’ll also have limes and oranges in the water of our vases.
MemberI voted just Orange… Maybe you could add an accent of White or Sage green on some of the lanterns… personally my first thought about Orange and White I thought Tennessee Vols
MemberI voted “Something Else”. I think if you’re going with orange on the tables in terms of linens then a soft spring green colour in the lanterns would look really nice.
MemberHere are what the different combinations look like… for the first imagine a more orangy tone than reddish
