"A Magical Rapunzel-Inspired Wedding: Amazing Sky Lanterns in the Ceremony! (Video Included)"
2018.07.08 published
What is the Sky Lantern, Originating in Asia and Enthralling the World? ♡
The sky lanterns are a ceremony where lit lanterns are released into the night sky. This festival, seen in various Asian countries such as China and Thailand, involves sending lanterns into the night sky with wishes.
The sight of lanterns slowly rising and spreading across the night sky is so enchanting that it is beyond words.
The sky lanterns gained immense popularity worldwide after appearing in the Disney movie "Tangled."
Many people associate Rapunzel with lanterns ♡
While many secretly yearn to witness sky lanterns at least once in their lives…
In fact, they can be incorporated into wedding receptions as a special feature! ♡
There are three methods to do this. Let me introduce them in order.*
Method 1: Lighting Lanterns During the Outfit Change
First, we introduce a method where lanterns are pre-decorated to float in the reception venue, and they are all lit simultaneously during the entrance of the outfit change.
This is a newly introduced feature at the wedding venue "Alcanciel," and this bride was the first to experience it.
The timing of the last part of the BGM from Rapunzel coincided perfectly with the lighting of the lanterns, creating a very touching moment.
You can watch the actual scene of the outfit change entrance in this video.
The lanterns decorated throughout the venue are incredibly enchanting. You really feel drawn into the world of Rapunzel ♡
Method 2: Balloons x LED
Next, we introduce an idea where guests release lanterns, making it feel like a real sky lantern festival.
However, releasing actual lanterns with fire can be dangerous.
Instead, we use lanterns with LED candles inside and balloons. Guests hold balloons tied with lanterns and release them all at once, allowing the lanterns to float up to the ceiling.
It’s very romantic, so be sure to check out the video ♪
Method 3: Projection Mapping
The final method I want to introduce is projection mapping ♩ This technique allows the scenery of sky lanterns to be projected onto the ceiling and walls of the reception venue.
With a grand show of visuals and music, guests can be entertained ♡
This type of feature is available at the wedding venue "Bridal Stage Duo Grand Chariot" in Niigata.
More and more venues are starting to implement projection mapping as a wedding feature, so in the future, it may become available at various venues across the country.*
Create an Enchanting Reception with Sky Lanterns ♡
We have introduced methods for incorporating sky lanterns that transport guests into the world of Rapunzel.
Guests are likely to remember, "That performance was amazing!" for many years to come ♡
If you are a bride who loves Rapunzel, or if you want to incorporate a unique feature that surprises your guests, consider using sky lanterns ♩
