Sparkling Arch – Wedding Grand Exit

You’ve been planning your big day, from the dress to the cake to the exit, no rice for you and birdseed won’t do—why not exit with flair by walking under a starry arch of glittering sparklers! What could be more breathtaking than twinkling blasts of tiny white stars against the dark night sky as you and your groom leave the reception?

So much planning goes into both a wedding and the reception—well, mostly the reception. After the question is popped, the rings and the dress are bought; it’s onto the reception planning. This is the fun part, the planning of the biggest party of your life. This party isn’t like any other party you will ever attend because this party is all about you and your love on the most important day of your life!

Wonderful ideas are everywhere; it’s like being a kid in a candy store. The colors, the decorations, the favors, the cake, the foods, the drinks, the music, the dancing…it’s all brilliant, intoxicating, wondrous and a little overwhelming. You want to get everything perfect. Your dream wedding, just as you have imagined it—your very own fairytale come true. You’ve found your prince and now on this special day you get to be the princess in all her beautiful glory.

It’s not enough to have a perfect wedding and a perfect reception; you want a perfect finale to end it all with the most amazing exit you can dream up. When the band has played they save the best for last, when the big game is finished they shoot them into the sky, even the Disney castle itself finishes off with the sparkling stars being shot into the dark night above. So why not finish your reception with the same majesty that brings everyone to “oohs and ahs,” just like they were kids again? Sparklers. Sparklers held high as you walk beneath just as couples have walked beneath arches of drawn swords for hundreds of years. Walk beneath your own magical arch of shimmering brilliant white stars.

You will leave the wedding and the guests with a feeling of enchantment in the air. On this one night at this one moment the magic of dreams comes to life. As it all happens around you and you are overflowing with joy, this is the last moments of that incredible celebration with everyone who is dear to you gathered around.

You want this moment to last forever, and it can, captured on film for you to enjoy for years to come. Envision the photo that will be hanging on your wall, that majestic moment when the new Mr. and Mrs. kissed under a glorious night sky of shining dazzling sparklers. It’s exhilarating just to think about.

The sparklers are lit, everyone is cheering and they cue you to make your exit through the thrilling display of sparklers held high. You two walk hand in hand as the brilliance of the sparklers creates a radiant glow all around you. Your big day has come to an end, but the memories created will last a lifetime.

3 Tips for an Unforgettable Summer Wedding

Planning a summer wedding? Everyone loves summer time! Everything is green, the warm sun giving you that perfect tan, it’s the perfect time of year for all your cookouts and beach parties. For those of us that count down the days until summer is here, summer weddings are for you! Not only to you get all the fun summer time activities you enjoy, but you also get to marry the man of your dreams! Talk about the best of everything. So today I am here to give you 3 tips for an unforgettable summer wedding!

First off you have to plan for the evitable summer heat! Whether you wedding is going to be a beautiful outdoor country side wedding or a dreamy beach wedding you want to make sure your guests are comfortable. One neat idea I have seen recently is program fans, GENIUS! Your ceremony program can be printed on a fan and handed to guest as they are seated. This is both functional to help keep cool as well as informative about your wedding. For your reception you can set up “hydration stations” with water or fruit infused water, yummy! This is a must for those beachy themes, not only does it provide a cooling drink but also a colorful display.

Want a summer wedding, but you’re afraid of that sweltering heat? My next tip is plan for an evening wedding! Depending where you plan to have your wedding ceremony and reception, planning an evening wedding can make a huge difference temperature wise. Plus you can have a beautiful sunset ceremony. Talk about gorgeous pictures! You can also set up an event tent to not only provide shade, but event tents can come with fans to help circulate air providing a more comfortable environment for your guests to dance the night away.

Now let’s talk about my last tip for the best summer wedding, your send off! There are so many great send-off trends going around right now, but my favorite is the sparkling exit! Each guest gets a sparkler and lines up to watch you drive away as husband and wife. Sparkler send offs are so much fun for you and your guests! Your guests get to be an interactive part of your wedding and they also get to help you capture the most gorgeous pictures! Our 36 inch sparklers are the perfect send-off sparklers, and since they are virtually smokeless they are a photographers dream to photograph.

I hope these tips have given you some inspiration for a unforgettable summer wedding! We cannot wait to see your summer wedding pictures! Tag us on Facebook and Instagram.

5 Tips for a Flawless Sparkling Exit

Your sparkling exit is the grand finale of your dream wedding, so of course you want it to go flawlessly! Here are some tips to help make sure everything goes off without a hitch!

Tip number one for your flawless exit is to make sure you order the correct type of sparkler! I know there are so many different types of sparklers to choose from, so making sure you get the correct one for your wedding is important. Everyone wants that perfect sparkling exit picture, so be sure to use smokeless sparklers. Now let’s talk about how many guests you’ll be having. You want to make sure you get sparklers that have the correct burn time for the amount of guests you will have. The last thing you want is to come out for your beautiful exit, only to see half of the sparklers have burned out. Our 20 inch sparklers have a burn time of 2 mins and are recommend for weddings with 150 guests or less. Our 36 inch sparklers have a burn time of 3.5 mins and are recommend for weddings with 150 guests or more. Both sparklers are made with easy light tips and are smokeless allowing you to get the best pictures!

Tip number two! Make sure all your guest know when your sparkling exit will be taking place! This sign from Hadley Designs is a cute and fun way to display your sparklers as well as let guests know when your exit is taking place. You can also leave instructions for your guest on how to light the sparklers. Did you know that the best way to light a sparkler is with another sparkler? In our sparkler packages we include a few 10 inch sparklers to make the lighting process as easy as possible, helping to ensure you get all those sparklers lit and ready to go for your sparkling exit!

Tip number three! Be sure and talk with your photographer about the shots you want!

Don’t forget to send us your beautiful sparkling exit picture to be entered into our monthly contest!

Tip number four, HAVE FUN! You did it! You made it through the chaos of planning a wedding, you are marring the man of your dreams, so relax and enjoy it! Your wedding day will be a day you’ll never forget, but it goes by all to quickly! So, don’t forget to have fun! Celebrate this new chapter of your life with the ones you love.

Last but not least here is tip number five! We get asked all the time how to properly dispose of the sparkler stick after they have all gone out. Be sure your wedding planner, venue coordinator or whoever is staying behind to clean up after you leave, knows how to dispose of the sparkler sticks properly. Have a bucket of sand or water for your guest to put their sparkler stick in. Easy trick, use the same container you used to display your sparklers in! Once they are out and cold they can be thrown away. It’s as easy as that!

Well that’s it! Those are my 5 tips for a flawless sparkling exit. Congratulations on your big day, I know it’ll be amazing! Don’t forget to send us your beautiful sparkling exits! You can also tag us on Facebook or Instagram. I can’t wait to see them!
