The night of our wedding, after all the formal festivities, we plan on having a bonfire, with marshmallows, stories, probably a little drinking, and hand-drumming (FH makes drums). I bought some cheap-o tiki torches from Walmart ($3 each) and jazzed them up with a little bit of ribbon that I bought to use for other stuff, and couldn't return because I opened them.

I made 5 to go around the bonfire area.

Very nice. You are quite creative! Make sure that the ribbon won't catch on fire though. You wouldn't want an accident on your wedding day.

The tiki thing has a black holder for the fuel, and the wick comes out the top, so there will be no contact of ribbon and flame. Good thinking though!
