Luminaria Decorating Ideas: Weddings, Parties, and Evenings

Luminaria are one of the easiest and most affordable ways to lend a warm glow to any outdoor party or evening festivity. The very first luminarias were made from boughs, crisscrossed and arranged in 3 food high squares. Now, luminarias refer to small paper lanterns made from colored or paper, often with designs and delicate detail. These can be placed along ground walls, pathways, and rooftops to add warmth and atmosphere.

Wedding Luminaria: Perfect for Summer Weddings

Luminaria bags are perfect for creating a special atmosphere for summer weddings. They look beautiful bordering a sidewalk, church entrance, or even placed amongst flower beds for backyard after parties. Wedding luminaries are a perfect way to welcome guests to a ceremony or receptions, and there are many styles available, both classic and modern for you to choose the wedding luminaria best for your personal wedding theme.

We'd like to note that while you can make your own luminarias from paper bags, tea lights, or flashlights, those could become a fire hazard especially around young children and pets. A safer bet is choosing reusable, durable, and flame resistant plastic luminaria and candleholders. You would not need cat litter or gravel to anchor your luminaria-plastic ones are easy to use. Simply fill the base with water and voila, it will weight your luminaria bags down and anchor them safely in the flame resistant bags.
