Ever since I spied these hanging lamp shades in the “love butterfly” themed wedding look at Confetti, I’ve been thinking about using hanging lamp shades. They need not be lighted as my wedding is a day long affair. In addition, if you painted or sprayed them different colours, that would suffice.

I then saw that my friend attended a wedding where another bride had used similar lamp shades:

I think the effect is lovely but could look even more stylish if there were hanging lamp shades of various sizes and shades:

You could also alternate between the wedding colours:

When I was at IKEA the other weekend, we picked up three different lamp shades, they are labelled REGOLIT and cost:
small (30 cm) £1.59
medium (45 cm) £1.95
large (60 cm) £2.53

Personally, I think the large ones are too big and so I will only buy about 3 of them so they dont look too overbearing. Im thinking of buying more of the small ones and painting them green and gold and yellow. Too many colours and you spoil the colour scheme! Now please dont go to the IKEA in Croyden and buy out the entire stock for RENGOLIT, I need some for my wedding!
