The Blog of a Burlington Wedding & Event Planner

Here is an awesome way to end your wedding or special event. Wish Lanterns

Also known as khoom fay, sky lanterns, glo lanterns, chinese lanterns or thai lanterns.  How pretty would it be at the end of the night, just before you and your new spouse leave to have all the guests come outside, whisper their wedding wishes inside the lanterns, light them and release them into the dark night’s sky?

These wish lanterns are so pretty and actually look quite large. I’m ordering a sample to see for myself. The have a wick that is lit and then it floats up, up and away into the air like little hot air balloons. The wick burns for about 12-15 minutes, at which point, they will fall back down to the earth. According to their website, they are 100% biodegradable.

The company that sells them, Wishlanterns.com is from Texas and does ship to Canada. Of course, there would be the currency exchange, customs and shipping costs…but they are so pretty! It almost seems a shame to let them float away!

I’ll bet these would look even more amazing in the winter here in Canada. The cold weather would make the lanterns fly even higher.

I’ll let you know once I get one…

Happy planning!
