ASIAN/ZEN WEDDING THEME. An Asian/Zen themed wedding is sophisticated, elegant and calming. Avoid going to your nearest party store and buying all the Asian themed paper accessories unless you are going for the shabby without chic look. Do not buy cheap paper cutouts! Finding choice pieces that are Zen inspired is key. Make sure not to overdo the effect. Remember, Zen themes are all about simplicity and creating a soothing environment. Cluttering your wedding with everything Asian is just not going to work.

Having a few paper accessories such as lanterns or parasols can be perfect additions to your wedding decor. Hanging bold colored lanterns will instantly create drama. For a subtle, crisp look use white lanterns. To add drama to white lanterns, use colored lighting in your wedding color to flood the space.

To view paper lantern inspirations visit our Wedding Decor Inspirations » Lanterns » Paper Lanterns Gallery.

Hi Val,

I think a centerpiece like that had to be custom made. I don't think you can find anything like that already made. Buy some lanterns at lunabazaar.com and find long branches to hang them on. Tie them all together and put them in a vase.

I wouldn't recommend using them on all your tables. It would look great just on a few main tables.

Hi! I LOVE the first latern design. What do you think the branch material is made out of? I am trying to re-create this. Thanks for any direction you might be able to give me!
