Pyrotechnics vendors may ask event planners to "contact us" for the
sparklers that add a bit of magic to a wedding ceremony. They are a step
above the tossing of rose petals or the releasing of butterflies. As
handheld treats, sparklers are a way for everyone in the audience to
participate in the ceremony. There are other applications, however,
where they seem to make their biggest light.
Some brides and grooms choose to put their sparklers on the wedding
cake. This moment is one of the highlights of the reception. It is the
time for iconic photographs and the bride and groom to have some playful
interaction with one another. What better way to signal the arrival of
this moment than with sparklers fizzing from the cake. It heightens the
excitement of the guests.
Another way to use sparklers for a wedding ceremony is to signal the
send-off of the bride and groom after the reception is over. Whether
there is a limousine waiting or the couple has a car of its own,
sparklers can light the path the leads away from the festivities. This
is an installation that should probably be completed by a professional
who understands local fireworks laws and who is trained in pyrotechnics
safety. Sparklers should be kept away from high grass and flammable
materials, and they should never be left unattended.
One other way sparklers have been used by wedding attendees is on the
dance floor. It is romantic to see couples moving lights across the
floor as music plays gently in the background. This can make the guests
feel like they are having their first dance along with the bride and
groom.
