Fancy A Fire Lantern Display?

Craig Morris Oct 2009 No Comment Bookmark or Share

November the 5th is almost upon us and for us Brits that brings only one thought to mind: “remember, remember the something of something (Bember?)” – a simple rhyme which for some reason means that it’s now ok to set fire to things and blow things up. Of course, bonfire night is no longer the exclusive domain of fireworks and your big day is the ideal venue for an audacious showpiece of controlled combustion, or perhaps you’d like something altogether more laid back?

One of the most intriguing products to reach the wedding market recently have been the astonishing and mesmerising Flying Khoom Fay Lantern.

The lanterns are also known variously as Fire Lanterns, UFO Balloons, Sky Lanterns, fire balloons, sky candles, Flying Lanterns and, “Oh My God, what are those things? They’re everywhere! EJECT! EJECT! Tell my wife I love her!”

Expert firework team Extra FX say that these are currently the most popular thing in wedding display services and with prices hovering at around £2 per lantern and most places offering discounts for large orders – you could launch an impressive fleet of lanterns at the end of your day all for around £100 – bargain.

As you can see, these are not your standard all flash and no substance wham, bang, ‘oh-is-it-over?’ displays. They are the rising hearts of your enchanted guests. They’re balloon flights over Europe. They are slow-burning, delicate memories that will truly create an air of romance in the dark, crisp skies above your wedding reception. But most of all they’re about £500 cheaper than a firework display – and that’s what really matters, isn’t it?

Where To Buy

As well as Extra FX there are a number of suppliers you can order from – Sky Lanterns are one of the best, offering a range of biodegradable, flame retardant balloons in a variety of designs. Fly Away Lanterns offer a wedding package with a number of different designs. Or you could go down the DIY route and make your own although from this account it sounds like a bit of a faff.
