There are a lot of beautiful ornaments for around the house or even a night time outdoor dinner. Lanterns are great for romantic evenings, and different styles are available depending on the mood and atmosphere of the setting. An unusual choice is a bamboo lantern, but it might be perfect for an oriental style dinner or for an excursion through the sticks. While bamboo is technically flammable, it is dense and based on silica, and is a perfect medium for holding light glass. It is stronger than wood while being inexpensive.
In addition to being a rare artisanal treasure, a lantern made of bamboo can be practical. It is flexible, likely lighter than a steel cage, and is flexible like wicker work. This means a lantern might be made with interesting styles that are also sturdy. You can go places with this lantern, and it still looks great during a romantic meal.
