paper lantern planner?

sarahlm619

I'm planning on doing paper lanterns at my reception -- I'd like them all over (reception is outside under a tent) however I'm not sure how many I should purchase.  Does anyone know about a site that helps plan this?

Chicago Lighting Design

Frame tent, pole tent, clear span?

What is the height of the side walls?  You want the bottom of the lowest lantern at 10' or more.  Any lower will make the room feel too claustrophobic. 

Has the tent company given their ok?

wow -- um -- I'm actually having two tents -- both pole tents -- one is 30x30 the other is 30x60 -- they will be placed directly next to each other!

side walls are 30'

I've already been given the ok for the lanterns
