Unstrung Heroes
Some things are better the second time around: Take those paper lanterns that probably got plenty of play at your summer backyard parties. To turn them into a romantic table-topper, we took a cue from Jennifer Bertrand, winner of HGTV's Design Star Season 3, who's known for her whimsical style. Jennifer's idea: Arrange a few mismatched lanterns in the center of a table and place votive and pillar candles around them. Then sprinkle the surrounding table space with rose petals.
