The candle holders, and therefore the lanterns themselves, are typically constructed of metal.
These lanterns have a wide diversity in design. The designs can run the gamut from a Moroccan style lantern to an Asian inpired design.
The rustic lantern is a fantastic way to mimic one of the travelers in the Old West who went across the continent in covered wagons. These types of metal lanterns can be hung as well as placed on a flat surface.
Pagoda lanterns are also a nice choice if you want to have a party with an asian theme. These lanterns typically have an ornate design on the outside cutout panels. These designs allow light to shine through them.
