Glass Bottle Lanterns

Looking for a unique and budget-friendly way to add some glamour to your wedding reception? Try making your own glass bottle lantern centerpieces! All you need are some glass bottles, fairy lights, and a little bit of creativity.

To make your lanterns, start by removing the labels from the glass bottles. If there is any residue left behind, you can clean it off with some vinegar. If your bottle does not have a top that opens, use a drill to make a small hole.  The hole should be just big enough to fit the wire of the fairy lights through.

Next, thread the fairy lights through the holes in the bottles. Battery-operated fairy lights work perfectly. Once the lights are in place, arrange the bottles on a table or shelf in your reception area.
