Since we're all about simple outdoor lighting that has a laid back but elegant feel we thought we'd highlight some of the ways that people have used white paper lanterns in outdoor spaces. We love them oversized, we love them in multiples and we love that they're cheap:

1. From Style Me Pretty: A beautiful Wedding table set with oversized Paper lanterns.

2. Stacked Lanterns cast such a beautiful glow when they're layered over one another.

3. Even the indoors can inspire the outdoors. A line of identical lanterns gives order to the outdoors and can help pull together a chaotic space.

4. Wall to Wall Lights create a ceiling of lights outside and cast a warm, party glow onto everyone outside.
