If you are planning a wedding and want to add something a little bit different to your day, then why not consider Chinese lanterns as a romantic gesture and perfect way to impress your guests.

Chinese lanterns have been around for centuries, mainly seen in Thailand and China at big celebrations and festivals. Nowadays they are starting to appeal to a more global population as a way of making special occasions just a little bit more magical.

They don’t only come in lantern shapes, but also in heart shapes or floating lilies, and come in a range of colours. Think how nice it would be at a wedding to release heart shaped lanterns into the sky at the end of a lovely day. On some, you can even write a wish or your names onto it before you release them, for that extra romantic touch.

Once released into the sky, they can still be seen twenty minutes later, so the novelty can last a lot longer than fireworks, for example. They are perfectly safe to use as well – so there is no need to worry about damaging the environment.

Made from thin paper and almost weightless, the Chinese lantern can be lit quite easily and they can reach heights of up to a mile into the sky. Guests will be amazed at how beautiful they can look floating away.

If you are planning a wedding and want something that will truly leave an impression on your guests- why not consider Chinese lanterns for some effortless fun and entertainment.
