Weddings take place every day of the week all over the world. One of the most fashionable tokens of wedding celebrations is now releasing Chinese Lanterns high in to the sky.
When it comes to a wedding abroad more and more couples are asking about releasing Chinese Lanterns on their wedding day. Some destinations permit the use of Chinese Lanterns, whilst others forbid them and cite the possibility of causing forest fires or interfering with low-flying aircraft.
Couples who marry in Cyprus often ask whether they can have Chinese Lanterns at their wedding reception. The answer as to whether these are permitted or not varies hotel by hotel, there doesn't seem to be a consensus across the island. In other popular wedding locations such as Antalya in Turkey the Chinese Lantern release forms part of many a couples wedding package choice.
The debate about Chinese Lanterns has been reignited (sorry!)... by the fire that has wreaked havoc with central Birmingham, UK over the last 24 hours. BBC states 5 problems caused by Chinese Lanterns whilst the fire continues to smoulder. Whilst the Daily Mail reports that the fire was believed to have been started by a stray Chinese Lantern and describes it as being "on the edge of Armageddon". Who makes these? What is the quality? How safe are they? and if they are safe... how do we actually know...?! When it comes to a wedding abroad and you're visiting a country that is in the height of summer with dry, parched land, what could it take to set the world alight? (ooops, couldn't resist that one!)...
When it comes to your wedding abroad do you plan to have Chinese Lanterns released in to the sky... or could it spell potential disaster?
