Comments and Compliments

We recently received emails from two customers who ordered sparklers for their weddings.  Thought we would share with you their super sweet comments and compliments for Nicole, our customer care specialist!

Just a note to say how much our family appreciated your helpful and quick response to our last minute request!  The wedding sparklers arrived mid-afternoon Friday, just in time for the Saturday evening wedding. They were a beautiful send-off for the bride and groom and great fun for the guests!  Thank you for going "above and beyond" to help us,

Carol Greene (relieved mother of the bride)


Nicole,
Thank you so much for all of your help with our wedding sparklers.  You have shown outstanding and professional service throughout this entire purchase process.  I sincerely want to thank you for being so polite.  I wish more retail personnel were as committed and caring as you have been.  Again, thank you so much for working with me throughout the many questions and changes.  I will definitely recommend your company to others!


Sincerely, Charlsie Korzekwa

Heart Wedding Sparklers for 4th of July themed favors

She's at it again!

Mindy Weiss creatively used our Heart Shape Wedding Sparklers as a favor for a July 3rd wedding. She paired 3 heart sparkers with an American flag and a cute tag that read "We love you and the red, white & blue". Love it!

You can find images of the entire wedding on Mindy's blog at:

Wedding Sparkler Card Holders - So Cute!

So you decided to use sparklers at your wedding. Now what?

Here is a super cute idea for sparkler holders recently posted on www.etsy.com. Take a look and give it a try!

http://www.etsy.com/listing/51916571/wedding-sparkler-holder-template

This idea is set up for 8 inch sparklers, but I'd bet that the same holder would work for 14 inch sparklers. The extra inches simply poke out at both top and bottom. Still helps you keep the sparklers organized and looking pretty for distribution.

Good Luck and thanks to Jen with Blush Printables for sharing the idea on www.etsy.com!

BuySparklers.com In the News: Anaheim Examiner with Kathleen Howard

We're in the news!
Yesterday, Anaheim Examiner columnist Kathleen Howard asked us to share top tips for using Wedding Sparklers this summer. Here is a link to her article:

Sparklers can create an inexpensive wow factor for your wedding

Kathy grew up in the wedding industry. Her mom was a cake designer and Kathy went to each wedding while her mom put the finishing touches on hundreds of wedding cakes. Obsessed with weddings, Kathy became a wedding coordinator. “What I have learned is that it doesn't matter how many zeros are in a wedding budget but it clearly matters how much heart is put into the wedding planning” stated this veteran wedding pro. “I want to help readers create true celebrations of love.” If you have any questions about wedding planning, contact Kathy at info@BridesKnowBest.com.

Can You Use Wedding Sparklers During the Day?s

Wondering if you can use wedding sparklers during the day? I think so! Just check out this bride and groom photo by Open Light Studio in Savannah, Georgia to see for yourself.

http://www.openlightstudio.com/blog/2010/06/savannah-wedding-photography-christina-and-dan-at-forsyth-park/savannahweddingphotographer-020-3/

The photograph shows sparklers used during the day...and they look gorgeous! I love how the bride and groom are simply beaming in this picture - they look so happy - and how sparklers are lit up in the background. Truly a special moment captured by wedding photographers Nate and Laura Henderson. The bride and groom chose long #36 Gold Sparklers which allowed for plenty of time to take great photographs (up to 4 minutes!).

You, too, can purchase #36 Gold Sparklers at www.BuySparklers.com/ We ship to all destinations in the continental United States via UPS Ground Service.

Sparklers for 4th of July

Now is the time to order party favors for your 4th of July celebration! Your picnic or neighborhood bbq won't be complete without sparklers or champagne poppers or snappers to celebrate Independence Day. Kids of all ages love 'em.

Try our #14 Gold Sparklers for fun in the back yard. Safety first - of course - so be sure to supervise kids with sparklers. We suggest lighting one at a time, tell kids to spread out and have a big bucket of water for dunking burnt out sparklers.

Also toss out champagne poppers on your table tops. Fun to "pop" anytime of day and the "popped out" confetti will help decorate your tables!

Don't forget to order snappers for the kids. We have standard Big Shot Snappers and our extra loud, extra large Diablitos Jumbo Snappers (Dads LOVE these!).

Order now from www.BuySparklers.com to receive in time for your weekend parties!

Sparklers for Weddings in Florida

There are few places on Earth lovelier than Florida. When you choose to have your dream wedding in the State of Florida, you can be certain that it will be as magical as you have always dreamed. Imagine deep blue waves rolling along white beaches, while standing next to the most important person in your life, waiting to begin your new life with each other.

Next, think how spectacular your wedding would be if you used gold wedding sparklers out on the beach. Not a single guest would forget your stunning wedding brought to a close a grand exit full of gorgeous sparklers!

Did you know there are over 5,000 weddings taking place all over the United States every day? Your wedding day will be the one that is meant for you because you will add lovely personal touches to make it extraordinary.

To help make this day amazing, consider the use of gold wedding sparklers and wedding favors. How could anyone ever forget the brilliance of a beach wedding, alight with gold sparklers and many happy, smiling guests?

There are a few things – among many - which you should consider for planning your Florida beach wedding:

1. Look into the possibility of using a wedding planner. Wedding planners can help navigate lots of little details and plan for your wedding day to go smoothly. Hire a wedding planner that will make it a stress-free day!

2. Try to book your wedding date early, since the busiest months for beach weddings in Florida are usually May and June. Weekend dates at sunset have to be booked as much as a year in advance. This is crucial whether you plan to marry in Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Tampa, Miami, Orlando, or any other part of the Sunshine State.

3. Don’t be afraid to try something new and depart from the traditional modern wedding plan. Make this special event a day - or a weekend - you will cherish in your heart for always.

To order wedding sparklers for your Florida wedding, look no further than BuySparklers.com. We have an extensive selection of sparklers and champagne poppers that are sure to make your Florida wedding magnificent!

Straight from the Wedding Photographers Mouth...or Blog!

Some photographers have a love-hate relationship with wedding sparklers...it's true! While they love the opportunity to capture gorgeous moments cast in dramatic lighting, they cringe at a last minute flurry of activity to set the stage for those photographs.

Storybook Wedding Photographer Jacquelyn Parnell and her team based in Tulsa, OK, posted a great suggestion on their blog this week and this beautiful photograph. (Photograph by Kimberly)

Your Heart Will Melt...Another Reason Why We Love Weddings and Sparklers!

This is another great story about sparklers at a wedding that is going to make your heart melt! I found this beautiful picture montage and story posted yesterday on the Blog for Brandi Burkett Photography at http://brandi-burkett.blogspot.com/

Read it and weep! (The sparkler image is second from the bottom, but you mostly see the gorgeous bride & groom beaming with joy!)

"I want to share a sweet moment from this wedding with you. Everyone was gathered outside after the reception waiting to light the sparklers and send A&I off in style. Allison's dad came out, called all of the jovial guests to attention and told us that Allison had been waiting for this moment her whole life. Hello pressure! However I live for moments like these, when I get the opportunity to make something you've only imagined a reality! The guests all did their sparkler waving best and the couple made their big get-a-way. So here's the sweet part. While I was editing the photos from the send-off I noticed Allison's dad standing in the background, looking on with a smile, his sparkler held high over his head long after it had burned out. :)"

Thank you Brandi!

You're Welcome! (Our Customers are So Sweet)

Not too long ago we received this lovely note from recent customers:

"Just wanted to say thank you for your lovely product, the sparklers were so much fun at our wedding! Everyone loved them! ... Keep up the great work!!"
~Chelsea & Rob McFarland~

It's so nice to hear from a bride and groom after the wedding. Most couples are busy honeymooning and starting a new life together and we don't always hear back. But we love any bits of feed back.

Love is in the air...Hearts, Weddings, Valentine's Day!

OK, most years I do not greatly anticipate Valentine's Day. Not because I'm not a fan, but because it usually sneaks up on me! My husband and I plan something at the last minute and I mail Valentine's to grandparents from our kids at the last minute, too.

But this year is different! I guess it's because we have our new Heart Shaped Sparklers and I'm looking at images of hearts every day! =)

So when I came across this beautiful photograph I just had to share. I love the simplicity and gorgeous reflection of wedding sparklers in the water. Kudos to Connecticut photographer Richard Esposito for his creativity and vision! Just goes to show you how artistic wedding photographers can be!
