Sparkling Wedding Favours
Sparklers count as fabulous wedding favours for your guests. Put a sparkler in each place setting so that your guests definitely have one each. If you’ve got time, you could even personalise each sparkler by writing each guests name on them in a cute tag. Alternatively, you could write ‘Mr and Mrs…’ with the date of your wedding day – perfection!
Evening Entertainment
Sparklers at weddings are also a great way of entertaining your wedding guests in the evening. You can make a real event of the sparklers by having it at a dedicated time, this way your photographer will known when to capture it all on camera. Have a cute little sign in your wedding venue that indicates the time so your guests all know in advance. A blackboard and white chalk will look perfect!
Wonderful Wedding Photographs
It goes without saying that sparklers at weddings make for seriously beautiful photographs. Learn to write ‘love’ or ‘married’ with your sparklers so your photographer can catch that special moment on camera. You can get some lovely shots of your guests creating a long arch-way with you and your partner walking through. Or have guests hold sparklers in a circle around your first dance. There’s also the chance of some romantic photographs of just the two of you with sparklers.
Add Extra Sparkle
You don’t just have to use sparklers in the evening! It’ll be great fun to use them with your bridesmaids on the morning of the wedding as you’re getting ready. You could even use them straight after your ceremony to celebrate your vows. Sparklers make fabulous wedding cake toppers and are definitely a unique alternative. They look spectacular on a tall, grand cake and will make even the simplest of cakes look delightful.
Sparkling Wedding Theme
It’s easy to create a magical theme using sparklers at weddings. Start your wedding theme off by using sparklers in your engagement photographs and even add one to your wedding invitations. It’ll give your guests a subtle clue as to what’s around the corner, and they’ll be expecting a sparkling wedding day!
Sparklers At Weddings Instead Of Fireworks
We must admit, fireworks at weddings are a truly magnificent sight but they’re bound to break the bank. Sparklers are a purse-friendly alternatively that will still have the same effect – and you’ll be able to stick to your wedding budget.
Before you organise your awe-inspiring sparkler moment, be sure to check with your wedding venue that it’s allowed. Some venues might not allow sparklers at weddings because of insurance or safety hazards. It’s best to opt for extra long sparklers so that they don’t fizz out too quickly, and make sure there are lots of matches to hand.
