Staging a Great Sparkler Photo Partway Through the Reception

Amy Frugoli is a Certified Wedding Consultant based out of the San Jose, California. She owns and operates both Twitterpated Weddings and Sugar Tree Sweets and Treats, a mobile sweet shop. Amy has used sparklers from BuySparklers.com with several clients so she was ready for the challenge of coordinating a really special moment for this couple. Amy worked closely with photographers Lindsey Freitas of BellaLu Photography, based in San Francisco, CA. When she saw the results, Amy couldn't wait to show us this photo of bride and groom, Kristan and Paul.

Needless to say, this photograph took our breath away!

How did she do it? We asked Amy to share her secrets...

"Kristan &; Paul really wanted to get a dramatic sparkler grand exit shot at their wedding," explains Amy. " Once I got to talking with them, I realized that actually staging a great sparkler shot partway through the reception would be a better option than at the end when some guests may have left and it would feel rushed. I suggested the 36 inch length so that there was enough time to do several shots and make it a fun activity for the guests as well. It ended up being really fun and best of all, made for some of the most beautiful sparkler shots I have seen. Thanks to photographer Lindsey Freitas of BellaLu Photographer for getting these great shorts and of course the bride and groom themselves for the perfect "dip kiss." All of these elements created pure magic!"

Sparklers Make Military Weddings Even More Special !

From the time honored traditions, to the ceremonial dress uniforms, there’s something very special about a military wedding!  Brides planning a military wedding can incorporate as many or as few traditions into her weddings as she likes.

By far the most popular military tradition in weddings is the sword / saber arch.  Usually 6 – 8 servicemen line up in pairs outside the chapel and the bride and groom walk under the arch as they leave.  The servicemen will drop their sword and require the bride and groom kiss before being allowed to pass through.

Before completing the symbolic “safe passage into marriage”, the last 2 men will block their journey while one guard gives the new military spouse a swat on the backside as they are welcomed into whatever branch of service they just married into. This is a very old, but fun tradition that has carried forward for many years.

Another ritual that is becoming a fast tradition with military weddings is the sparkler grand exit.  Just like the sword / saber arch, the sparkler arch leaving the reception is rapidly growing with military weddings.  Most brides prefer our #36 Gold Sparklers to create another arch / tunnel to walk through to make their exit more dramatic and special.
