Help! Looking for Sky lanterns

[Deleted User]

Aloha Knotties,

Does anyone know where I can purchase sky lanterns in LA near riverside or LA in general. I would like to pick up some while I'm In Cali. Kind of on a time crunch so ordering them maybe out of the question. I would like to use them for my engagement picture on the 14th. Thanks for all the help

Floating on Love!

I wish I could help you out, I'm from the Detroit area. My Fiancee and I just decided to let them go during our reception. Kind of a summer thing we use to do with friends from the local vending store.

Maybe check out a vintage place?

Amazon- Also check with the city/county/venue that it is ok to release them since 1 they can catch things on fire and 2 are not environmentally friendly (even the biodegradable ones. They leave behind the metal wire).

Thanks guys! I decided to go with amazon. Didn't want to deal with finding a local vender. It's hard enough finding a wedding dress.

Just an FYI...

They can be super dangerous ... it is fire that you are sending into the air. While pretty, it isn't worth the risk in my opinion after I looked into it.

Skim this article and watch these videos of the things catching fire when people use them the right way.

Don't want to rain on your day, but I thought I'd pass the word along.
