A dream wedding is every couple’s wish. We all want our wedding to be special. In pursuit of making our wedding standout from others, we spend generously, hiring the best decorators and caterers. There is one more thing that can help you in taking your wedding to an even higher level. It’s wedding sparkles. Is it the first time you have heard about them? Don’t worry, in this article we will explain you everything there is to know about wedding sparkles.

• What are wedding sparkles:

Wedding sparkles are basically fireworks.  You must have seen children play with sparkles on festivals. Well wedding sparkles are the same but with some modifications. A simple sparkle is not made to last long, while a wedding sparkle is made from special chemicals that burn very slowly. Wedding sparkles come in a lot of shapes and sizes.

One of the very popular designs is to get a wedding sparkle in the shape of yours and your partner’s name. A lot of couples prefer this type of wedding sparkle. It is usually lit after the ring ceremony. You can order a custom designed wedding sparkle but they are a bit more costly than simple sparkles.

• Are there any precautions to be taken:

There are some precautionary measures to be taken when using wedding sparkles. The first thing to note is the venue. The venue must be in outdoors. Never make a mistake of using wedding sparkles in an indoor environment. Wedding sparkles create a lot of smoke and this smoke can posses problems to your guests. Before you use wedding sparkles you must also make sure that none of your guests have asthma.

Even though the smoke from a wedding sparkle is not that irritating, but still it can cause problems to those who have respiratory conditions.

The second precaution is about handling them. Always store them out of the reach of children. There have been some cases where children accidently lit fire to the sparkles causing the entire wedding to be postponed. You must also do some research about how to store them. Some people store them in simple boxes which is a very bad idea. Sparkles can catch fire during hot summer days, for this reason they must always be stored dipped in a special solution.

• How can I order them?

You can order wedding sparkles through internet. Alternatively you can also order them through your wedding planner. Ask your wedding planner or decorator about wedding sparkles, they have associations with dealers and can easily get you a discount.

• What is the best time to light them?

Since they are fireworks, they are best enjoyed during nighttime. We would advise you to use them after the marriage ceremony during the evening party. Some couples prefer them to be used during their first dance while others prefer them while entering the party.

Wedding sparkles also come in different types, some burn for a long time while others burn out quickly. You must always ask for those with the longest burning period.
