Sky Lanterns

Sky lanterns are more unique, longer lasting and safer than fireworks. A paper flying lantern can rise to heights of over 300 meters and travel for kilometres, the result, one of the most magical, breathtaking sights you and your guests will ever see. They are perfect for weddings, parties or corporate events.

Flying sky lanterns are made of non-flammable bio-degradable paper, stand over 90cm tall and it takes approximately 90 seconds for the sky lantern to fill with hot air before its ready to be released into the sky.

Today sky lanterns are known by many different names: flying wishing lanterns, wishing balloons, glow lanterns, flying or dream lanterns.

History of Sky Lanterns

The concept of releasing sky lanterns can be traced back nearly two thousand years to China where the tradition originates. At first sky lanterns were used as a signalling tool by the military as the glow from the sky lanterns could be seen for miles.

Throughout the centuries, the practice of releasing sky lanterns gradually became a way of celebrating festivals and ceremonies across the Far East. Add that unique twist to your wedding or any event.
