Wish Lanterns do indeed offer that much needed ‘wow’ factor. Many couples looking to get married are often searching for new and fresh ideas to give their wedding something special that sets them apart from the crowd. It seems people are growing tired of the old fireworks displays or the releasing of doves at the end of their ceremony or reception and are now looking for unique alternatives to create a visual spectacular that symolises their love.
Fresh from the shores of Thailand comes the Wish Lantern. Also known as Sky Lanterns or Khoom Fay, when Wish Lanterns are released en masse they create a stunning noiseless display in the skies. To see Wish Lanterns in action please look at the video section of our main website.
Wish Lantern have put together a series of bespoke packages for weddings that we are really proud of. Have a look at the packages on the wedding page of our website and feel free to call us on 0845 500 1215 with any questions.
Why not ask your wedding guests to write a wish for the newly weds on the Wish Lanterns prior to launching to wish them well for their life together. Light up the night sky on your wedding night with a Wish.
Many people find lighting their Wish Lantern an easy task, however, here are some tips to ensure you get it right everytime.
- Always check weather conditions are clear and calm prior to lighting your Wish Lantern
- Always use two people to light the Wish Lantern
- Have one person hold out the corners of the lantern while the other person lights each corner of the fuel cell, we’ve found it easiest to light with a cigarette lighter.
- Wait for the lantern to fill up with hot air before releasing

After a busy Christmas and New Year season, Wish Lantern sold out of stock. However, we can confirm our new stock is expected to arrive in our warehouse by early February 2009 so don’t dismay, when the new stock arrives we will be able to dispatch your orders as soon as possible!
Our New Year’s Eve celebration was simply magical – the gathering of our friends and families to witness another mass release of Wish Lanterns. We even had some children who live nearby come out and cluster round us; they were allowed out of bed at midnight just to witness the spectacle. We each made a wish for the new year….now all we have to do is wait and see if they come true!
