Launching paper sky lanterns is a centuries old tradition across many countries, originating in China. Now, used on the last day of the Chinese New Year Festival they are released into the air for good luck. In Thailand, the people write their wishes for the new year onto them, and release them to the heavens in hopes of their wishes to come true. These flying paper lanterns symbolize good luck, new beginnings, releasing of old and wishing on dreams and hopes coming to pass.
Becoming more popular in weddings and celebrations across the globe as a symbol of good luck & new beginnings... they add beauty to any festivity! Sarah & Paul are including this into their wedding, with a flying paper lantern for each family attending! What a beautiful ending and last wishing of good luck onto them as a married couple!
