I first saw these amazing pieces in The Hangover II and thought it was one of the neatest ideas EVER! Especially when done in the evening time, the lanterns light up the sky and it's a breathtaking spectacle to see. So, when I saw them AGAIN on the show, I HAD to blog about it. This is such a popular trend in the wedding world right now.
Wedding wish lanterns are traditionally used in Asia at celebrations throughout the year. Releasing them at the reception symbolizes hopes and wishes of good luck for the future and the floating away of worries and problems. How wonderful...wish I would have known about these for our wedding.
I would love to set a wishing lantern off..
have you done this or will you for your wedding?

This has been a common feature in British weddings for some time now.
I attended a close friends wedding last week and she had them @ midnight an they were released to one of the couples favourite songs!
It was such a lovely sight to see on a Summer night!

Abigail - I noticed that after doing a little more research on it. You are so lucky! I bet it was gorgeous.

i saw it once in a disney movie, tangled. it was beautiful but thought it only existed in fairytales. HA!
thanks for sharing!

So awesome! I have always wanted to see a bunch of these in the sky in person. I love this!! XO
My dream wedding that I'll never have!
They look so beautiful floating in the air. Would love to see them in person one day.
amazing pictures, so beautiful :)
My sister and I watched the episode the other night, and I absolutely agree with you on the wishing lanterns! They're just so intimate and fun, and a great way to engage everyone.
I would totally do it for my wedding!
aww those are so beautiful. I would love to do something like that. I also wish I would have known about it for my wedding. my wedding was in teh evening so it would have been perfect.

I love this idea! It's beyond magical.
These lanterns are so pretty (all the ones you pictured). Almost magical. I would love to do something like this when I get married.
Have you seen the movie "Tangled"? There's a scene with lanterns in that movie, too (even though it's animated) :) I love it!
You have very unique blog content! The wedding backdrops are beautiful. I love your blog header. I can tell you're good at what you do.
