Traditionally used in Asia for celebrations and festivals, many people release Wish Lanterns to symbolise the release of your worries and problems.
Wish Lanterns are 99% biodegradable, non-flammable and safe and easy to use, and create an amazing visual effect that adds enjoyment and wonder to any special occasion. From June 2010 we will also be selling our Eco Wish Lanterns which are 100% biodegrable - with no wire in them.
All you have to do is light the fuel cell and gaze as the Wish Lantern floats up into the night sky. Using the power of fire, the Wish Lantern will be in the air for about 12 minutes and go up over a mile in the air.
Wish Lanterns stand 108cm tall and 66cm wide at its widest point. After release and flight, the Wish Lantern will self-extinguish and float gently to the ground.
Please enjoy our website where you can purchase white wish lanterns, coloured wish lanterns, santa wish lanterns, wedding wish lanterns and even floating wish lanterns. If you have any questions please call 0845 500 1215 or email contact@wishlantern.co.uk.
Summertime means that there are plenty of opportunities to get out into the countryside, sit in the tall grass, lie back and enjoy all that nature has created for us- particularly when the sun is setting, and colours in the sky begin to change. Something else we love about dusk is the possibility of seeing fireflies emerge, with their range of colours that glow in the dark, and create beautiful effects, just like our own wish lanterns when released. There are some differences between the two however- the light from the Firefly, also known as the Lightening Bug, is created by a series of chemical reactions that take place in the bug’s lower abdominal organs. All you need for wish lanterns is a lighter or matches.
Other similarities of the firefly to our wish lanterns include the fact that each come in a range of colours; with the insect, reddish-yellow bugs can be seen just as the sun begins to set, whilst the green-tinted ‘versions’ show themselves later in the evening. Of course, with our lanterns, the different colours can be released at any time of day, in any order, according to your own personal tastes.
If you’d like any more information about our products, or would like to share some insect wisdom with us, please do get in touch, or leave a comment at the bottom of our blog.
If you will allow us, dear reader, here where all the wish lanterns magic happens, we will assume that on one’s wedding day, the last thing one wants to be doing is running around, concerning with one’s self about how well the release of wish lanterns at the end of the reception will come off; searching for pens, lighters, note cards and the lanterns themselves is a chore that needs to be avoided. In order that you and your spouse-to-be may concern yourselves with other things, such as where the rings are, how to affix the page boy’s bow tie correctly, and whether Uncle Frank will behave himself for once, we have put together an ingenious wedding wish lanterns package, so that every little detail is taken care of for you. Complete with marker pens for guests to write messages of good will on the lanterns, and then on the personalised name cards for keepsakes, lighters, as well as the lanterns themselves being beautifully wrapped and covered in confetti; everything is taken care of. Not only this, but the paper inserts of the lanterns themselves are personalised for the bride and groom, adding another magical touch to the package.
So if you’d like any more information about getting your hands on a package of wish lanterns for the wedding season, please do get in touch and one of our team will be on hand to answer any questions you may have.
