Gulf Coast Lanterns Lighting Spaces with Craftsmanship and Family Tradition
Gulf Coast Lanterns, founded by Ginger Rushing in 2009, began as an online business and has since evolved into a thriving family-owned enterprise with Ginger’s son, Erik Germany, now a partner in the business. Today, it features a showroom in downtown Covington, showcasing a wide selection of copper lanterns and specializing in copper gas & electric or LED Flame Simulation Lanterns.
Ginger’s extensive lighting expertise and keen awareness of the growing demand for high-quality, affordable copper lanterns with fast delivery inspired the founding of Gulf Coast Lanterns. Knowing that the demand would be significant once she opened, she searched for a reliable manufacturer. Her search would lead to a partnership with The CopperSmith of Foley, Alabama. Their partnership enables Gulf Coast Lanterns to offer gas and electric copper lanterns at competitive prices with fast delivery. Their collaboration with Coppersmith also ensures superior craftsmanship and quality materials for customers.

Although the online component of the business is still a great way to shop at Gulf Coast Lanterns, visiting the Covington store is an experience in and of itself. Patrons can expect the largest exhibit of copper lanterns in the area, with over 100 on display in their showroom. This lantern-filled space provides customers a hands-on experience to appreciate the craftsmanship firsthand.
A leader in the local lighting industry, Gulf Coast Lanterns is dedicated to offering beautiful, long-lasting lanterns. Thus, they are a go-to source for homeowners, designers, and architects who want to illuminate spaces with elegance and style.
