Another decoration idea came from my mom: paper lanterns. Now I am in no way Japanese, or related to anyone Japanese, but in my head the reception tent is starting to get a certain Japanese flair to it, no? How much is too much? My cousin studied abroad in Japan in college and that is as close as I come to being linked to Japan (until my Japanese-themed wedding that is). But I like the lanterns. You can get them in one million sizes and colors, not to mention weird shapes in addition to your standard sphere. Don’t even get me started on how long I surfed the internet looking at paper lanterns.The best part I think is that someone will have to rig up said paper lanterns. My mom is convinced the neighbor, a kid my age who owns a tree-cutting business, will perform spider monkey-like acrobatics for us. (How tree-cutting and wiring paper lanterns in a tent are related I don’t know). Regardless of who helps and how it gets done I think it will be a fun event to watch.
