I made a stop at IKEA this weekend and ran into these adorable candle holders/lanterns. The picture does not do them justice. I didn’t buy them, but almost did, and still might. They are $2.99 each and would be perfect to hang on shepherds hooks.
If you are having an outdoor wedding and are planning to have shepherds hooks, I have seen some interesting ways to decorate them:

(source)A lot of florists provide shepherds hooks, but you can find them for cheap online. Here is one resource that carries them for as cheap as $8 for 20-inch hooks.

How are you lining your outdoor aisle?

Cheap Find: Lanterns & Shepherds Hooks
I’m doing something similar to Mrs. CP for the decor leading up to the entrance of our reception hall. We have to use wire ebcause they will be filled with candles and I’m afraid the raffia will start on fire and cause the jar to come crashing down!
We’re also considering using shepherds hooks to jazz up our isle… I love the first idea, thanks 
I made 3 pink tissue paper pomanders–1 to hang between/above us, and 2 to stake at the first and last row of seating. By summer’s end the same set of shepherd’s hooks will have appeared in all four of my married friends’ weddings!
I am lovin’ the links you provided! I too want shepherds’ hooks since I’m planing an outdoor ceremony! I want to have one shepherds’ hook w/kissing ball alternating with shepherds’ hook with lantern and a monogrammed aisle runner and of course heaps of rose petals scattered along each sides of the aisle runners!
If you are looking for Shephards’ hook check at Joanne’s. I bought 15 there last weekend while for around a bit less than $30 while they were on sale…but their coupons would make them cheap as well.
I bought our Shepherds hooks at JoAnn’s as well - for around $2.50
I’m so glad you wrote this!! I have been trying to figure out what those things are called!! LOL
Not sure of the size, but they have Shepherds hooks at the Dollar Store, here in Sacramento, Ca! Great bargain
Just saw Shepherds hooks at Wal-Mart for 5.99 I think. I know it was under 6 dollars.
What great ideas! Thanks for sharing Miss Apple Cider! They finally opened an IKEA in Charlotte and I can’t wait to go spend hours looking around!
We used those lanterns at our wedding. We had a large portico with tall columns at our venue. We placed lanterns at the base of the columns and lit them up when dusk fell =)
Thanks for some great inspiration! We’re considering using shepherd’s hooks and this is a big help!
I love the shepherd’s hook look. We got some for my friend’s wedding at Home Depot. You can get them for really cheap!
I love the pomanders best, but the bucket and lantern are really cute, too!
I love those IKEA lanterns! I almost bought those the other day!
Ooo these are great! I also loved when Mrs. Cherry Pie did hers!
