Has anyone been to a wedding where the 'maids carried lanterns or some kind of light? I am feeling like the idea is better than the practice, but i do love the thought of soft light carried in during our evening ceremony. I just think the carrying may look awkward.

I love and have chosen some flowers but would love to do something different and also save some money…does anyone have any examples of this? We don’t want too nautical or asian a feel, since neither fit the feel of the wedding overall.
thanks!!!"
