Sky Lanterns!


Recommended Posts

Wow!! I have become obessed with his idea for months, but thought it wasn't a possibility. Now you guys are giving me hope!!

 

1. Does anyone know if there is a charge/ will allow the release of these on the beach at Secrets Maroma Beach?

 

2. How did you get them there? All of the ones I have seen have a fuel cell in them which (as far as I know) are not allowed on planes, carry on OR checked luggage. Did you just ship them right to the resort? I am tempted, but know its going to cost an arm and a leg!!

 

Any details on this will be a HUGE help!! If you guys are using ones with tealights, or without the fuel cell please let me know where to find them!! :)

 

Thanks Everyone!! I <3 this forum!! :)

These sky lanterns are so beautiful and hope that we can do this at our hotel, but I also have the same concern that it's prohibited on planes since they're flammable?

Still waiting to hear back if Secrets Maroma Beach will allow Sky Lanterns. I will update everyone as soon as my coordinator gives me final word.

 

The ones from "theskylantern.com" ARE allowed on planes, biodegradable and are dosed in a fire retardant as to not catch trees and things on fire IF something goes wrong.

 

Another question, Where are you releasing them? It says you need little to no wind to be able to release them.

 

It seems like it always windy on a beach? Any brides that have used them in the past, please fill me in on how it worked out, windy or not :) Did you release them in a part of the resort (like near a pool) that is less windy?

 

This is a great thread! Thank you everyone!! :) :)

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
