LOVE LIGHTS THE WAY Paper Starlights, renowned for its beautiful and intricate star lanterns, has launched its new wedding collection to bring enchantment, sustainability and light to wedding celebrations. Handmade using responsibly sourced paper, these paper lanterns will add an elegant touch to wedding décor with their glowing aura and romantic design. “Whether you’re planning a formal reception or an informal garden elopement, the right wedding lighting creates atmosphere and takes your big day into night”, says Paper Starlights co-founder Andy Jupp. The versatility of Paper Starlights’ lanterns allows them to be used in various ways; as a centrepiece on the tables or hung as a starry chandelier above to cast a gentle and calming light. The lanterns are also an ideal way to thank guests for their attendance, as they can be used as beautiful wedding favours that will light up their homes long after the wedding celebrations have ended. The new collection is available in various colours, sizes and designs, making it easy for couples to choose the perfect lanterns to suit their wedding theme. Paper Starlights has been sharing the light since 1996. As a family-run independent business based in Derbyshire, it produces handmade paper star lanterns in partnership with a family-run business in India.
