Lanterns set the mood, not the budget

The glowing look of lanterns swaying in the breeze is always a warm and welcoming way to greet guests, whether in a tent or out under the stars. You too can accomplish the looks above, and still stay under budget with these simple designs from IKEA.

I like these inexpensive lanterns, ranging in price from $4.99 to $24.99, because at this price, you can afford to dress up the entire venue or outdoor space. Go overboard, and switch up the sizes for a more custom look!
