Awesome Wedding Sparkler Ideas to Spark Your Imagination

Most people are familiar with the sparklers used on the 4th of July, but a premium version is becoming increasingly common for a variety of venues and celebrations, especially weddings. Wedding sparklers are so neat because they go with any theme, color or style, and they can be used indoors, outdoors and even on the wedding cake itself. If you're already planning to use sparklers for weddings during your big day, here are some awesome ideas to spark your imagination.

1. Wedding Decor

Dressing up plain sparklers  by placing them in a wooden box for a rustic wedding, tying small bundles with ribbons or placing them in vases, creates a beautiful display for your wedding that also adds a unique touch to the big day. You can really get creative here, depending on your wedding theme. If you're having a nautical wedding, you can tie bundles with rope and decorative knots. You can also make centerpieces for each table by filling vases with heart-shaped wedding sparklers and adding ribbon to the vase itself.

If you're planning a big send-off, you may want to add a decorative vase of sparklers with personalized matchbooks at the venue exit, along with a cute sign like "Let love shine!" or "When the couple leaves, please light the way!" Be sure to let everyone know when the send-off will occur.

2. Cool Photo Ops

If you haven't seen sparklers for weddings used in photography, you're in for a real treat. Your photographer can take cute shots of you and your new spouse lighting heart-shaped sparklers together while stealing a kiss, get pictures of the send-off itself and take some of those cool sparkler writing pictures you may have seen around. By using the right shutter speed, and an assistant, your photographer will actually "write" with a lit sparkler in the air around you while you hold a second lit sparkler. The final picture will make it seem as if you have written words in the sky with the sparkler held in your hand!

3. Go with the Theme

If you're having a sparkler theme, you can get creative. Why stop at the use of sparklers at the send-off when you can also buy special wedding cake sparklers for the cake cutting ceremony that serve as the candles? These special sparklers are a bit different and safe for use with desserts and they create quite a show. You can also pick up cute tinsel sparklers to use as cocktail sticks! You can even incorporate a fun smores bar using sparklers and smores sticks.

4. The Send-Off

Finally, this list wouldn't be complete without mentioning the send-off ceremony, which still remains the most popular way to use sparklers for weddings. These farewell shots always look amazing with the night lit by dozens of brilliant sparks from your family and friends, and it creates a truly memorable moment for everyone involved!
