Wedding sparklers can add an awesome affect to your wedding ceremony. They are easy to hand out to the guests whom can form sparkling pathway for the bride and groom to exit through. If your wedding is a night, then simply have your guests from two parallel lines outside. If your wedding is during the day, have the lights inside turned off once the sparklers are lit.

5 Things to Keep in Mind When Using Sparklers

1. Timing – Wedding sparklers come in a variety of sizes. The longer the sparkler, the longer that it will burn. Ten-inch sparklers will burn for approximately 45 seconds and are pretty inexpensive. If practiced in rehearsal, this will be plenty of time. However, if a lot of people are fumbling around trying to get them lit, some people may have theirs go out too early while others get theirs lit too late. Twenty-inch sparklers will burn for 90 seconds. Thirty-six inch sparklers will burn up to almost three minutes. If you are using your guests instead of having this practiced, I recommend going with the thirty-six inch sparklers. They will burn long enough for everyone to get them lit and short enough not to be a fire hazard.

2. Safety – Sparklers are relatively safe and you should not have any problems. However, there are a few precautions that you should take. First of all, keep them away from children. Assign someone the job of handing the sparklers out to adults and giving everyone a run down on safety. Make sure that everyone is told to hold the sparklers at arms length and not down at their side. For one reason, it is going to look better when everyone has them extended. Also, you don’t want anyone to burn themselves or their clothes. Also have your guests cautioned to spread out just a little so they don’t accidentally wave them into someone else. Anyway, these are just a few obvious precautions. Use common sense and keep them away from anything flammable and you will be okay.

3. Colors – Sparklers come in a variety of colors. However, I have one word for you on this subject. Gold, Gold, Gold! Sure sparklers come in colors like red, blue, or green. However, these colors look more like the 4th of July than they do a wedding ceremony. Whatever, you do, do not have a mixture of colors. This will look tacky. Gold sparklers look more sophisticated and will give the affect a more uniform look. Also, gold is a symbolic color that is more associated with weddings.

4. Getting them lit – Do not use matches. Matches will make things a lot more complicated and you will have a far more difficult time getting them lit. I recommend a push button propane torch. These torches come in hand held sizes. You can have your guests line up in two lines while two to four people come down the line lighting them.

5. Disposing of the burnt sparklers – Sparklers will remain hot for several minutes after they burn out. Therefore, you don’t want your guests throwing them into a wastebasket full of paper. A bucket of water nearby will suffice in disposal. Again, put someone in charge of collecting the sparklers afterwords to prevent any mishaps.
