“Without the supporters in the crowd it would be so much more difficult to get up there and compete as well as we want to. Knowing we’ve got people rooting for us back home as well really makes all the difference”.

You heard the lady- it’s time to get ordering some of our wonderful sky lanterns, and release them with good wishes for Britain to bringing home some nice shiny medals.

For more information about our products or our service, please do get in touch and one of our team will be hand to answer any queries you may have.

Available in a range of colours (also just like our sky lanterns), you’ll see Fireflies glowing different shades depending on what time of day you manage to spot them. As the sun is setting, Fireflies with a reddish-yellow tint will come out and play, whilst those that have green illumination wait until later on in the evening to show themselves. The light itself is caused by a series of chemical reactions, triggered by different levels of natural darkness, inside the fly’s light-omitting organs, situated in the lower abdomen. Like most things in nature, although we are able to enjoy how pretty they look, the light is designed to warn off predators, as well as attract a potential mate.

With their own little ‘lanterns’ that they carry around with them, we feel the Firefly is something to be celebrated, particularly as we’re coming to the end of summer and may not see them again for a while. To capture or create a similar effect, why not organise a release of sky lanterns; get in touch and one of our team will be on hand to help arrange a delivery to your door. We look forward to hearing from you!

Our sky lanterns wedding packages are perfect if you want to add something really special as a conclusion to any reception party, grand or modest, large or small scale. They come with everything you need, with the sky lanterns beautifully wrapped in special boxes, complete with confetti, pens, cards (so you can read the messages that were released on the lanterns at a later date) and lighters. Not only this, but our usual sky lanterns paper inserts will be replaced with personalised paper, detailing yours and your partner’s names for all your guests to see.

If you think you’d like a hassle-free way to get some beautiful lanterns at your wedding, please do get in touch, and one of our team will happily talk you though all your package and delivery options.

For many, the wait for our Eco Sky lanterns has been too long, as the anticipation of our fully biodegradable sky lanterns has been too much. To them we say, you need hold your breath any longer, for they have arrived and are fully available for your purchasing pleasure. The new lanterns are made with a fireproof wool fuel cell holder and a thin, light bamboo frame covered with rice paper. All of these things put together mean that any remains biodegrade very quickly, and you can enjoy sky lanterns at your special event without worrying that harm is coming to the areas surrounding the site.

If you’d like any more information or would like to purchase some of our eco sky lanterns, please do get in touch and one of our team will be on hand to help.

The thing we’re most excited about, however, is the fact that James even included a shot of some of our sky lanterns being released; he gathered some friends once it got dark, and recorded them marvelling at the beautiful sight of the lanterns floating away en masse.

If you’ve also entered this fantastic competition, and have maybe even included sky lanterns in your film, please do get in touch and let us know- it’s great to hear about our products being used for something so special!

Other ways in which this is possible is by investing in some wicker torches, or flares as they’re sometimes known, and propping them all around the garden, surrounding the seating or socialising area, and giving you beautiful lighting to enjoy. Fairy lights also look very special; if you decide to go all out and invest in all three, we can guarantee you’ll have some really magical evenings enjoying the balmy temperatures of the summer months.

If you’d like a little more information about our products or our services, or indeed have enjoyed sky lanterns at a summer event this year or in the past, please do get in touch and let us know, and one of our team will be on hand to answer any questions/offer an attentive ear.

- Our Rob’s new baby Zoe’s naming day: Hog roast, loads of toys and cake, and a display of coloured sky lanterns at dusk. What a great way to welcome little Zoe into the world.

- Other Rob’s wedding: We danced our socks off doing the ceilidh, and Helen (the new Mrs Rob) loved the surprise sky lanterns.

- The lovely moving HSBC adverts on the tube: Commuters were treating to images of sky lanterns on super electronic screens as they made their daily journey to and from Waterloo station.

- Sky lanterns being released at Glastonbury, where the weather was better than it has been in years. Many happy festival-goers were treated to the display.

If you have another event that you’ve attended recently where sky lanterns were out in force, or would like to get hold of some of your own, please do get in touch and one of our team will be happy to help.

If you’re heading to higher and colder climes to tie the knot, or have any stories or pictures from when you did, please do get in touch. We always love to hear from you!

If this sounds like a familiar scenario, never fear; we’re on hand to help. Once you’ve taken the very sensible decision to order one of our stylish and stunning sky lanterns, let us do the gift wrapping, and save you the embarrassment of showing your own paper and tape negotiating skills to the recipient. The service we can provide means we use only the best, most colour co-ordinated products, and can even post sky lanterns directly to your loved ones, meaning there is nothing left for you to fret about or remember.

If all this sounds jolly useful, then please do get in touch, and one of our team will be on hand to answer any questions you may have. We look forward to hearing from you!

So if you spot a UFO, or something similar looking, please pause for a moment before considering calling on any emergency services, as we never want to waste their time unnecessarily. Think calmly and rationally- somewhere near by, there is most likely a wonderful celebration taking place, and Sky lanterns are being released as part of the event. Of course, our scepticism could one day be proved completely wrong, in which case we’re very sorry and you can tell our mums.

If you’d like any more  information about our products, or services we can offer (such as UFO tracking- just kidding), please do get in touch and one of our team will be happy to help.
