Let There Be Light: Why You Should Use Sparklers at Your Wedding

Sparklers are a unique way to add a bit of sparkle and glamour to your wedding day. Not only do they look beautiful in photos, but they can also create a festive atmosphere that your guests will remember for years to come. Read on to discover why you should consider adding sparklers to your wedding celebration!


A Magical Moment

When it comes time for the big kiss or the cake cutting (or both!) at the end of the night, light up the evening sky with some magical sparklers. Have your bridal party and guests form two lines leading towards you as you make your way down the aisle - this will make for some stunning, romantic photos! Plus, everyone loves a good surprise, and when that surprise is a shower of twinkling sparks, it’s sure to be an unforgettable moment.


A Little Bit of Sparkle

Sparklers come in all shapes and sizes so you can find one that fits your wedding vision. If you’re looking for something more subtle yet still eye-catching, try using small ones in glass holders as part of your centerpieces or other decorations throughout the venue. If you’re going for something more dramatic or want to make an entrance like no other, opt for long sparklers that will create plenty of light as well as drama. It’s also possible to buy different colored sparklers – pink, blue, purple – which can add even more pizzazz!


Safety First

No matter how long or short your sparkler is, safety should always be first priority. Make sure there is plenty of space between guests and those holding the sparklers; it’s best if the people holding them are spaced out evenly from each other too. Additionally, be sure to provide buckets filled with water so guests can properly dispose of their used sparklers before they leave. And lastly (but certainly not least), never leave lit sparklers unattended!


Top tips!

  1. Make sure you buy long sparklers as they will last a lot longer which gives you more time for the photos!

  2. Make sure to have lots of lighters to get everyone in the group lit up!

  3. The quality of the lighters will make things easier. Jet lighters work a treat. The best one I've seen at a wedding was the father of the bride had a chefs blowtorch!

  4. Think sparklers won't work at a summer wedding? We can still get beautiful images when it is dusk! The blue skies of summer evenings can give a different look for the photos but can still give you amazing results.


Conclusion

Sparklers are an easy yet effective way to add a bit of magic and glamour to any wedding celebration - whether large or small. They create stunning photo opportunities for couples who want beautiful images from their special day; plus, they help make any grand entrance extra special by lighting up the night sky with shimmering sparks! Just remember to always prioritise safety first when using these items so everyone has a fun (and safe) time celebrating your nuptials!
