Suspended Lanterns
Such an element of decor as hanging lanterns came to us from China, there they are widely used in the Lantern Festival. The Chinese themselves call this holiday a small New Year. This Chinese holiday originated at the same time as Buddhism. According to the beliefs back then, the sky was illuminated by a full beautiful moon, and the people who lived at that time saw angels dancing in the sky. The next year, the residents also wanted to celebrate this wonderful holiday and admire the dancing of the heavenly creatures, but they didn’t see them anymore, and the moon was hidden behind the clouds. It was then resourceful residents have decided to replace the light of the moon, the soft glow of paper lanterns, angels they certainly have not seen, but the holiday and has remained and is celebrated these days.
So, the first type of paper lanterns, is the one that can safely decorate your celebration.

After lighting the element warm air rises up and fills the dome of the paper lantern, then it can be released and it gently soars upwards, carrying with it the innermost desires of the young.
Many newlyweds have already appreciated the advantages of paper lanterns. Undoubtedly one of the main pluses is that not many newlyweds use them in their wedding script, which means it will surprise the guests much more than the banal doves or something else common at many weddings. Another important plus of the sky balloons is that they can in no way harm the guests or the newlyweds if the safety precautions are followed. An important plus is the low price of this special effect. Many people in love make wishes in their mind, and you can use a colored marker to write your message to the sky and let go into the sky.

Poor quality paper lanterns can have a torn dome or spoiled frame. This will certainly spoil your event. It is also worth taking spare sky lanterns, thanks to their low price. Before you start, be sure to instruct those who will run the lanterns into the sky.
It is better to launch paper lanterns into the sky at night, then this action looks more spectacular, it creates a sense of wonder. It is for this sense of wonder and creating an atmosphere of romance paper lanterns are loved by many.
For a more spectacular effect, we recommend launching sky lanterns at the right moment of the wedding event. In addition to sky lanterns, you can use such a special effect as colored smoke. And so, it is best to use lanterns in the evening or at night, and a smoke ball of colored smoke – to run during the day. We recommend using different colors at the same time, and smoke times, to create thicker smoke.
As the smoke disperses, the bright colors of the thick smoke mix with each other and create interesting figures and images.
So, the first scenario for launching paper lanterns is the newlyweds launching. The newlyweds can launch one lantern for two or they can each launch their own personal lantern into the sky. Both certainly look quite beautiful and interesting. It’s better to launch sky lanterns into the sky at a certain point, too. This moment will be the exit of the young couple from the registry office. True, such a stunning effect it will not produce, because it will be in the daylight hours, but still will please the guests. Another point is the wedding photo shoot. Of course, paper lanterns will help you to get beautiful and bright photos. And of course the last moment is the end of the evening, when the young people are already seeing off.
No less interesting will be the launching of paper lanterns by the guests, as a wish for a bright, beautiful life and mutual love to the young. The guests will certainly be very happy to participate in the creation of a personalized fairy tale for the main people of the wedding party. Usually in this case, paper lanterns are best launched at the very end of the evening, this will help add a beautiful note to the bride and groom’s send-off from the wedding reception.
