I know you've seen paper lanterns 100, okay 1,000, times before, but I bet you haven't seen silk ones like this! They gave Mimi and Tom's san Jose, CA, wedding a whimsical Mary Poppins' "Let's Go Fly a Kite" scene appeal with a touch of Asian flair. So where do you get them? Well, Mimi's parents kindly traveled to a small Asian village to have them custom-made. What, you don't have time to do that? No worries. Take this photo to a custom lighting shop, or show it to your wedding planner, and see what kind of replica they can suggest. There are some great sites out there too -- try PearlRiver.com for starters!
