Wedding lanterns from Wish Lantern are a wedding accessory fast sweeping the nation, as a safe and more peaceful alternative to fireworks, which create an amazing visual effect. They are similar to a mini hot air balloons, which are lit, and float into the sky, with a bright glow as they disappear from sight.

Wedding wish lanterns are traditionally used in Asia at celebrations throughout the year. Their release at a wedding reception symoblises hopes and wishes of good luck for the future, and the floating away of worries and problems.

Wedding wish lanterns are also known as Sky Lanterns, Chinese Lanterns, Flying Lanterns and Khoom Fay.

• "I ordered the wish lanterns for a Cub Scout bonfire and firework evening. They went down really well with the Cubs. We found your web- site through Google and will be recommending you to other friends and Scouting collegues. Thanks again for a prompt delivery and a good product.

  "The wish lanterns were a great success at our wedding in September. All the guests young and old were enthralled by them. It was a beautiful still, warm evening, perfect for watching them float up into the sky. We got married on a nature reserve so didn't want to, and weren't permitted to, disturb the wildlife with fireworks. The wish lanterns were a peaceful alternative."

  "I ordered 10 multi-coloured wish lanterns by telephone for a very close friend who I knew would be delighted with them – we always aim for imaginative and special presents for each other’s birthdays, so I was chuffed when I stumbled on these online. They arrived promptly the next day (as I had ordered), and she was absolutely thrilled! We lit one that evening to a toast to friendship and a glass of wine, and watched it sail into the air and gently blow over the town. It was beautiful, and so simple to use and enjoy. Thank you, Wish Lantern!"

  "I have used many many sky candles / wish lanterns etc in the past, some good and some bad. I bought 50 from this website as it was for a friends wedding and although they were a few pounds more expensive than another site I wanted guaranteed quality which this site seemed to claim. I was astounded by the excellent quality of the lanterns, the paper is thick so will be less likely to rip when being unfolded by champagne weary guests (lanterns not to be used whilst intoxicated by the way), the fuel cell is attached and unfolds a little which makes it much easier to light than normal fuel cells and they seem to be much bigger than the lanterns I have used previously. Excellent excellent product and fast delivery. Highly recommended.(give 5 stars),cheers, I’m very happy with the product – keep up the good work!"
