Ignite the Night

Picture this: You are sitting in a darkly lit club one Saturday evening, perhaps celebrating a friend’s engagement or for an impromptu girl’s night out. One of the wait staff brings over a bottle of champagne. Not just any bottle of champagne though – this one is sparking, flickering, flashing in the dark. How much better is a bottle of champagne with a sparkler atop? We know you must be dying to find out.

BuySparklers.com offers Bottle Sparklers for any celebration under the sun. They are a perfect addition for night club owners who offer a bottle service and want a way to enliven the club experience. When you sell a single bottle with our sparkler included that sale can quickly turn into many additional tables requesting a bottle. The Bottle Sparkler effect is irresistible!

We know that you may not always want to go to a club to have a VIP experience. This is why we have implemented a way to bring the party to your own front door. BuySparklers.com sells smaller packages including a set of just eight sparklers. If you are simply looking to spice up an event at your home and surprise your friends, what better way than providing a personal light show? Bring a bottle of your favorite bubbly to the next soiree and ensure a dramatic and memorable delivery with the Bottle Sparkler attached.

When lit, sparklers create a fantastic display of light spurting from the bottle – the effect is simply dazzling. So wherever you decided to use these sparklers, whether at your nightclub, bar, restaurant, event or party, we guarantee a breathtaking display.

Ringing in the New Year with a Bang

As December comes to an end, family and friends gather together to ring in a new year. We reflect on the days that have past and look forward with hope and anticipation for what the future will bring. There is a sense of togetherness during the late evening hours of December 31st as people wait for the midnight hour. We here at BuySparklers.com suggest you add the excitement of a gorgeous light show to your count-down to midnight and wow all of your family and friends. New Year’s Eve is the ideal night for celebrating with our Bottle Sparklers, Champagne Party Poppers and more. The familiar and resonant tunes of Auld Lang Sayne will surely be complimented by the flashes and flickers of a sparkler.

While New Year’s is the last party of the year, there are more holidays approaching very soon after. If you enjoy the effects of our Gold Heart Sparklers for your winter holiday events, don’t forget to order a box for Valentine’s Day! These are specifically designed to add that special touch to your romantic evening. Even our boxes are made to be an aesthetically pleasing contribution to an elegant display. Light these special sparklers up with your loved one for a dazzling Valentine’s date!

Add a Spark to Your Winter Wonderland

http://redcloudphoto.wordpress.com/

It is the most wonderful time of the year! The weather starts changing and the air begins to spark with anticipation of things to come. It is finally fall and you have the best of all possible occasions to look forward to; there will be beautiful crisp days, delicious meals and quality time spent with good friends and dear family. As the days shorten and nights are spent enjoying bonfires and holiday lights you may want to add something new to your holiday traditions by bringing sparklers to your next outing. BuySparklers.com offers a plethora of choices to make this holiday season the most memorable one yet!

Christmas Eve is a magical night for kids and adults alike. That evening, you family settles into your yearly tradition. Perhaps you decorate a Christmas tree and bake cookies for Santa or maybe you go caroling with a group of friends. While you may not be able to imagine altering these engrained rituals, we believe the addition of sparklers will make this enchanted night even more extraordinary. Step outside with your loved one and light a Gold Heart Sparkler as you stand around a glowing fire, basking in the frosty air. As you wait for Santa Claus to come you can give your little ones an early present – our Holiday Pop Pop Snappers are a universal hit. Your night will be more vibrant with our sparklers, we guarantee!

Last Minute Christmas Ideas for Co-Workers & Friends

It is that time of year when the crunch starts on finding the perfect gift for co-workers and friends.  It is always hard trying to find a gift to give to the people you work side by side with all year long without spending too much money or getting something that they won't use.  Who needs that kind of stress during the holidays!

http://www.ewallpapers.eu/view_wallpaper/christmas-present-and-balls-1920-1080-7805.html

Whether you're in an intimate office or a cubicle farm, it's fun to recognize your favorite co-workers with a little something and we have the perfect gift for you to give!  Our #14 Gold Party Sparklers are a great idea to give to those hard to please people in your life.  Most people celebrate New Year's Eve with fireworks and sparklers, so this will definitely be the gift that will bring smiles!  It is something that they will use and have fun with while ringing in the new year.

Our #14 Gold Party Sparklers are packaged with 12 boxes of 6 wire sparklers.  You can wrap each box and tie a pretty bow on it and you have just crossed 12 people off of your Christmas list.  At $22.00 per order that makes each box only $1.83 - you certainly can't find a gift for that price anywhere!

Easiest.  Present.  Ever!

Frank Donnino Photography

Throughout my years at BuySparklers.com, I have had the pleasure of meeting and working with some amazing photographers.  But I have never met a photographer like Frank Donnino from Frank Donnino Photography!  Not only is he an exceptional person, but he is an extremely talented photographer!! 

Frank really goes the extra mile because his clients REALLY matter to him. He meets with each couple and takes the time to get to know them personally.  It is important to him to discuss their goals and what they are wanting to accomplish and see in their photos on their big day.

He does not have typical, pre-set packages for you to choose from.  Frank creates packages to fit the individual needs and budget for each couple.  He also has a "No Risk, Iron Clad" Guarantee that is unlike anything I have ever heard of before.  If you are not thrilled with his photos, he will refund you in full, plus give you $100.   I have viewed Frank's work and trust me, you will not be using that guarantee! 

Here are a few incredible photos that he sent me from weddings that used sparklers.

Frank has also provided me with a tip to pass along to all brides wanting to use sparklers at their wedding:

"My greatest tip for sparkler shots is how to light the sparkler.  Most of us, including me, would think that the using a lighter to light the sparklers would be something I won't have to be concerned about.  Not true.  The first lighter I bought was a regular Bic type lighter.  Then I tried one of those long lighters used for BBQ's.  They are horrible.  The only kind of lighter that works in all situations is a torch light.  This is usually found in cigar shops.  They are butane lighters but have a "strong" blue flame that you can not only see but "hear" like a blow torch.  The flame will not be blown out during windy conditions."   -  Frank Donnino

Frank's charming, fun personality, coupled with his amazing talent of capturing exquisite photos has made him the most sought after photographer in Florida.  You can view all of his exceptional photos on his website at www.mybaldphotographer.com, his Facebook page or his blog site at www.BaldPhotoGuyBlog.com.   Be ready to be completely dazzled with his photo gallery!

Thank you Frank for sending me your breathtaking photos!  It is such a joy and pleasure to work with you!!!

Happy Halloween!

Have a fun and safe holiday!

If You Are Getting Married in New Orleans

If you have ever visited New Orleans, you can attest to a particular feeling that, ‘There’s just something about this place’. There is a vibrancy and zest for life in this city which few other locales can claim. New Orleans is steeped in a history that brings together visitors and locals alike in a love affair with tradition. There is a something here for everyone; whether you are exploring the French Quarter for the very first time, picnicking on the banks of Lake Pontchartrain or second-lining at your best-friend’s wedding, you have just got to find your favorite celebration.

Weddings, like many things in the Big Easy, are honest to God parties – and probably the best you will ever attend. For anyone who has danced behind a beaming bride with her umbrella bouncing and twirling while the guests wave handkerchiefs and napkins, well, you already know. To anyone who has not, find a wedding and get in line!

 If it is your wedding you are planning in NOLA it’s time to pull out all the stops. Maybe it will include a reception at the Court of Two Sisters, a landmark in New Orleans fine dining, or perhaps the whole affair will take place floating on the Mississippi River aboard the Steamboat Natchez. Regardless of the venue this Crescent City wedding is sure to be one for the books.

If you are looking to up the ante on your big day you may want to consider brightening things up with sparklers – a wedding trend that is all the rage right now. Imagine your guests lighting up heart shaped sparklers as you say your ‘I do’s’ while the sun sets on the Mighty Mississippi. Perhaps you would rather spice up your celebratory champagne toast with a bottle sparkler. If you are looking for a reliable company to provide you with sparklers, BuySparklers.com sells a wide variety of quality products for weddings and any other occasion that might need some extra flare! Whatever way you decide to use them, sparklers will surely be the finishing touch that makes your New Orleans wedding perfect.

Halloween is Almost Here!

Halloween is right around the corner and falls on a Thursday this year. I am busy planning a Halloween party that will be talked about for quite some time!  I decided to put sparklers in the "treat" bags and am using our friend Malia's idea from www.yesterdayontuesday.com. Malia dressed up a trick-or-treat candy bag and added a box of our #10 Gold Sparktastic! sparklers to hand out as favors at her Halloween party.  This such a fun and easy craft and I know that my guests will love this idea!!

http://www.yesterdayontuesday.com

While we recommend that sparklers not be used by children under age 8 and that all children using sparklers should be supervised by an adult, these make great favors for adult Halloween parties.  Sparklers are fun to use outside on Halloween or any night of the year!  (Don't forget Día de los Muertos - Day of the Dead - on November 1, 2013!!)  Be sure to place your order so that your sparklers will arrive in time for your celebration!
 

Many thanks to Malia at http://www.yesterdayontuesday.com for her creative DIY holiday ideas for our sparklers! 

Diaz & Diaz Photography

Many women spend countless hours flipping through wedding magazines looking for the perfect dress, cake, venue, and flowers so when they meet their perfect partner, every detail will already be planned.  A good photographer will capture all those beautiful details so that long after the cake was devoured and the flowers wilted you can go back and look at the photos that hold all those exquisite details.

At Diaz & Diaz Photography they not only capture beautiful pictures that highlight all the gorgeous details, they also catch those special moments between the bride and groom and the guests that attended their wedding.  They will photograph your parents holding hands with tears in their eyes as you say "I DO" and the special dance between you and your grandfather, your friends busting a move to the latest dance craze or even the flower girl sneaking a piece of cake.

Diaz & Diaz Photography shared one of their gorgeous photos with us and of course I had to post it here so everyone can see it!  I love how they captured the bride's facial expression and also the groom's cool shoes!  Ginger Diaz recommends that brides buy the LONG #36 sparklers because there is nothing sadder than the sparkler dying before the bride and groom make it to the car. 

www.hellodiaz.com

Ginger and Mario Diaz, a husband and wife team located right here in San Antonio, provide 2 different approaches to shooting your wedding so that they tell the full story of not only how your wedding looked, but also how it felt.  Please visit their website at www.hellodiaz.com or their facebook page to view their beautiful photo gallery.  You will love their flare for capturing all those special moments whether for a wedding, family photo or any important event in your life.

Diwali Events Across the U.S.& Canada

Diwali is a 5 day festival, celebrated to mark the triumph of good over evil. It is observed each year at some point during mid-October to mid-November in many countries such as India, Singapore, Malaysia, and Nepal, or where there are large Indian communities living such as in Canada, Britain, and New Zealand.

Diwali 2013

India's Festival of Lights starts on November 3rd this year.  This amazing holiday symbolizes new beginnings and is observed by lighting lamps, candles and fireworks to show the victory over evil, light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance.  Many places around the US do not allow the personal use of fireworks, so sparklers are a great alternative!!

Yale University - Diwali 2012

We have several different sizes of sparklers that will fit into your celebration.  All of our Diwali sparklers are made of the highest quality material and they are safe to use because they will not ash off and they produce very little smoke (there is not a sparkler that is completely smoke free).  We have a #14 Gold Diwali Sparkler that burns for 1.5 minutes; if you are looking for one that burns longer, our #20 Gold Diwali Sparkler burns for 2 minutes and of course a Diwali favorite is our Pop Pop Snappers!  For those of you who are wanting a variety of of most popular Diwali items, our Diwali Discount Party Pack is just for you!  This Pack has 72 of our #14 Gold Diwali Sparklers, 72 Champagne Party Poppers and 5 boxes of our Pop Pop Snappers.  Be sure to visit our Diwali section to view all of our products that will help add warmth and light to your festival.

Jessica Kranz Photography

Sparkler writing has become very popular with brides.  So many bridal magazines are full of pictures with cute ideas on how to incorporate sparklers into their big day.

I recently was searching for different ideas on this very cool idea and I came across this fairy tale photo... you know the kind that simply takes your breath away!  This photo, taken by Jessica Kranz Photography, is one of those special pictures that make you smile when you see it.  The way she has captured the sparks emitting from the sparklers, the way the sky is lit in the background and the amazing pop of color throughout the entire picture creates such a magical photo!  Sparkler writing is not easy to capture, but once it is mastered, can create the most beautiful images.

5 Things You May Have Forgotten

So you made your choice, sparklers will be a part of your big day! Whether you’re ordering our 14-inch Gold Sparklers for your send-off or our Gold Heart Sparklers for party favors, we want to make sure that our part in your big day goes off without a hitch.

 

1 - Check with venue: The last thing you want to worry about on your wedding day is your venue putting the kibosh on a send-off you have been planning for months. While most places are fine with the use of sparklers, we like to advise our customers to check and make sure. At some venues there are specific rules as to where they can be stored, disposed of, lit, etc. And as the age-old saying goes, better to be safe than sorry!

  

                                                                             

 2 - Make it known what they are there for: We don’t want you to order a bunch of sparklers and then have them go to waste! If you’re looking for your guests to take part in your send-off or you want to use them specifically for wedding photos, make sure they are displayed and labeled as such.   Having a sign and a designated table or setting up a display for your sparklers is a great way to ensure you won’t have to worry about reminding everyone throughout the night. 

3 - Have lighters on hand: You made the sign, set the table and told all your guests about your plans for the sparklers, now make sure they aren’t left in the dark!  We recommend stocking your wedding party with butane lighters to start the lighting process and helping those around them ignite their own. Sound tricky? Check out our tips for making sure lighting the way for your send off is fun, easy and most importantly, safe for everyone involved!

4 - Sparkler safety: This one is especially important if the sparklers are going to be around little kids, who will probably be just as excited about the sparklers as we are to be a part of your big day. A couple of tips we recommend keeping in mind are for guests to only light one sparkler at a time, always follow the instructions for lighting and handling, and children under 8 should not have their own sparklers.  Be sure to keep a close eye on kids (of all ages!) using pyrotechnics.

 

5 -Proper disposal: No, not the puppy… the bucket! (But the puppy is too cute, right?)  Make sure to have a safe place for you and your guests to dispose of the sparklers after they burn out. Sparklers will keep their heat for a few minutes after they’ve lost their shine and can easily melt through plastic garbage bags or worse – they could catch on fire! To avoid a potential fiasco, we encourage a clearly labeled disposal system, i.e. a bucket with water for proper and safe disposal.

Now that we’ve covered the need-to-know for your sparklers, all that’s left is for you to enjoy them. If you happen to capture some of the memories our products helped you make, we’d love for you to share! You can email any photos or inquiries to info@buysparklers.com.
