Add a little sparkle...

Sparklers from Sparkle

I'm a fan of things that sparkle...diamonds, glitter, stars, you name it. But one thing that I've always liked since I was a kid that sparkles in a different way, are sparklers. If you're having a summer wedding, or are planning a summer wedding for next year, how about adding sparklers to your special day?

A nice way to incorporate sparklers into your wedding day would be to offer them to guests to hold during your first dance or to have a sparkler send off. Another way to use them would be to give them to your wedding party during a night time photo shoot.

Provide your guests with sparklers, matches and or lighters and a place to put the sparklers after they have gone out. A good place for them would be a pot filled with sand, or a wooden box. You don't want to place them in a trash can/bag or anything plastic as they may still be a tad hot and you don't want to start any fires. Also, be sure to check with your venue first if sparklers are allowed on site as they are a conductor of heat and fire and can be potentially dangerous and hazardous if not handled properly.

Do you like things that sparkle? Are you planning on using sparklers at your wedding?

You Light Up My Life


I was at my Brother & SIL's trailer for the Canada Day long weekend and took in some fabulous fireworks! They were amazing - big ones, small ones, loud ones and bright ones! At the end of the firework display they lit a dozen Sky Lanterns. These paper lanterns, similar to a hot-air balloon soared up above the lake and across the sky. Simply beautiful!

Seeing them got me thinking - how awesome would it be to light and release a few of these during your 'send off' at your wedding? Some couples leave through a group of guests clapping or holding sparklers - but why not gather everyone and send off some lanterns? You could even write your names and wedding date on them before you release them to the sky!

The lanterns are very affordable and can be ordered online.
They soar for about 15 minutes before the flame goes out.
Perfect for a summer wedding so that you can tell the world that your partner lights up your life.
