Liven Up Your Lighting with Lanterns

May 22, 2018 Suzanne Karzoun 0 Comments


Lanterns have a variety of uses both inside or outside of the home. They can also be the centerpiece of choice for a variety of events and activities. They also have the versatility to be both decorative and functional. We offer a wide selection of lanterns in various styles and sizes, and some of them are even outdoor safe. Many of our lanterns are designed without a light inside to let the shopper provide their own lighting source, whether candles or LED string lights.

Decorative Indoor Use


As wedding season begins, lanterns are a major component for centerpieces for chic brides and grooms for bridal showers or the big day. Lantern centerpiece ideas found on Pinterest range from wrapping them in burlap to surrounding them with flowers, allowing them to suit any theme to create an elegant atmosphere. For a southern or rustic theme, Evergreen Enterprises has a selection of mason jar lanterns for weddings, beach-house, and summer decor.

For coastal regions or beach themes, we have solar coastal teal blue, turquoise, and seashell lanterns (seen at right) that ship to retailers in a convenient 12-piece display unit.

For an everyday look, we introduced new glass copper lanterns from Cape Craftsmen, each with a distinct embossed pattern and metallic shimmer. Read our highlights article to learn more about our new lantern and candle collections.

Lanterns are also iconic decorative symbols for homes during religious ceremonies or celebrations for Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and more. For example during the month of Ramadan, Muslims will decorate their homes with lanterns.

Functional Outdoor Use

Fluttering Garden Friends Solar Lanterns

The majority of our outdoor lanterns can be used indoors as decorative accents, however, due to their solar powered components, they are best suited for outdoor enjoyment.

Our Evergreen Garden line's most popular designs are the glass solar lanterns. In this collection, you'll find a variety of colors, designs, and etchings for use in summer garden parties and barbecues to patriotic memorials.

Retailers who love the look of our bird baths will also love our glass embossed light-up solar lanterns. These favorites are perfect to hang in the patio, umbrella, or tree as they allow you to continue the night garden party. Retailers can shop the entire Night Garden collection to create a powerful statement in their stores.

If you're looking for a winning style among our huge selection of outdoor lanterns, one of our top selling items for spring and summer is our mosaic glass solar lantern (item 2SP4843, shown below).
