Pink Romanticism

Whether as a romantic decoration for a dinner party or as an atmospheric element for a summer garden party, the combination of pink wool threads and wooden lanterns creates a magical interplay between elegance and naturalness, delicacy and rusticity.

DIY Wind Light: Material

Basic material

A metal base with a plug-in tip, a coconut half that serves as a lantern, a «Rauris»  wool cord and flowers are needed for the creation.

Garden table design with candles

Summer table magic

On a white tablecloth, which brings out the colours of the flowers even better, the roses, the filigree berry branches and the flower heads of a card are creatively arranged on the table. The «Rauris» wool cord lends an additional magical touch when playfully incorporated between the flowers.

Wind light with roses

Evening harmony

The candlestick wrapped with the wool cord sets the individual roses wonderfully in scene. The cord is not only a decorative element here. Thanks to the wire core, it can be flexibly bent and thus also takes on a supporting role in order to be able to arrange the flowers in different ways.

Change of perspective

The coconut serves as an artistic lantern for the tea light that is lovingly placed inside. The candlelight also makes the colourful flowers shine even more intensely.

The "Rauris" woollen cord, which can be shaped as required, lends a graceful lightness to any environment.

Here, too, the motto is: have the courage to use different shapes. The round elements create individual accents that set the scene for each other.

The mottled pink and white creates a soft and romantic atmosphere, while the green of the plants adds a calming and refreshing component. This interplay of colours creates a balanced and aesthetically pleasing arrangement that touches the senses and spreads a pleasant mood.

In the second piece, the two-tone "Organic Band" felt ribbon, with its warm brown-orange and coral-red tones, creates an inviting and vibrant effect. The earthy tones of the felt ribbon give the arrangement a natural feel, while the coral red adds a touch of energy and passion. The colours complement each other perfectly, creating an appealing interplay that pleases the eye and creates a warm mood.

In the third lantern, the two STYLIT products complement each other perfectly in terms of colour. The fresh mint green combines beautifully with the flowers and berries. The mint green has a calming effect and makes the arrangement look refreshing and elegant. The combination of these colours brings out a subtle elegance and natural beauty that adds lightness and charm to the decoration.
