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.

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.



I look forward to Diwali because I get to talk to so many friends who place an order every year on this fantastic holiday!!  I want to offer a 10% coupon for all Diwali orders.  Type in Diwali10 in the coupon code box before checking out.
