The Now Riviera Cancun

I wanted to get everyones opinion! I am taking paper lanterns to hang during the reception on the terrace. For my at home reception I plan on hanging cafe lights and having the paper lanters hang from them for the lights. I don't want to travel with the cafe lights if I don't have to but I wasn't sure if the paper lanterns would look funny hanging without any lights for my reception on the terrace. Any thoughts? Thank you!

I'm also having my reception on the terrace and will be bringing paper lanterns as well.  Like many brides who use the paper lanterns, I will make LED throwies. If you don't know what a throwie is than do a search fo 'DIY LED lights' and you should be able to find the thread with pics and instructions. I definitely prefer the looks of lit paper lanterns.

I am also using paper lanterns. I am buying the battery operated lights for them. if you go to www.paperlanternstore.com they have them on there.

I have some battery LED lights but not enough and I am definitely ordering cafe lights for our at home reception, I just didn't want to have to travel with them. I get nervous about getting stuck in customs over something stupid like cafe string lights!! Thanks ladies

Ana Maria told me no paper lanterns at all,not even with LED.Who did you talk to for permission?

Hmm... I'm pretty sure it's on their list of decoration items/serivices but I think they call them something else, however I don't have their wedding guide in front of me to confirm (the 2012 guided that they send you, not the one on the website). Regardless, Pilar is my wedding coordinator and I will supply the lanterns and they will be hanging them for me.

Thats weird she told you no paper lanterns. Pilar is my coordinator and she said that she will hang them for me.

Here is a beautiful wedding reception that was rather recent where they used paper lanterns on the terrace and they were not lit.  I think they still look beautiful

Thank you! They do still look nice...I guess I am just concerned that there will not be enough light to really notice them at night. Are they still pretty noticeable? Mine are fuchsia and lime green.
