Most people know that fireworks originated in China. But what about the sparkler? The first sparkler is actually believed to have come from Heliopolis, one of the major cities of Ancient Egypt. While evidence points to the first sparkler being a weapon, it was quickly adapted for festivals and celebrations. As far back as AD 670, people were celebrating love and victory with sparklers -- just as we do today! What are Sparklers Made of? There are four key components to any sparkler: fuel, an oxidizer, a binder, and metal powder. These chemicals are mixed with water to create a paste. This paste is then coated onto the sparkler "handle" and allowed to dry. The fuel is what keeps the sparkler burning all the way down once it's been lit. Without this the sparkler would die out shortly after being lit -- nobody wants to relight their sparkler several...

Tired of grand fireworks but you still want an epic show for your wedding? Thanks to Pinterest and other social media platforms, the use of sparklers in a wedding send-off is becoming more popular than ever. Well, why not? It makes for some nice photo opportunities, they're pretty, and they're easy to clean up as well as opposed to tossing rice or bird seeds.

Learning government safety rules and how to use a sparkler the right way eliminates the risks, though. Keep reading to learn how to light a sparkler, handle it, and then dispose of it. How to Light a Sparkler Before you bring sparklers to your wedding, confirm with the venue first if it allows a wedding sparkler send-off. Some don't allow it for insurance and safety hazards, while most would have no problems with it if you use it the proper way. With that said, here are tips on how to light sparklers. Choose a Location The best location for your send-off would be the outdoors as there are fewer flammable materials than indoors. Choose a spot away from objects and the wind to make lighting the sparklers safe and easy. We recommend having the send-off close to your getaway car; you can walk through the line of sparklers and then head straight for the car. Hold It Properly Make sure...

Think weddings are over? A popular belief is that the younger generation no longer believes in marriage. Despite that claim, around 35% of adults in the country still want to get married at some point in their lives. Weddings are great milestones in life, with the union of two lovers cementing their relationship into something almost inseparable. A great way to accentuate your wedding is the use of sparklers. There are a lot of unique things you can do with it. But if you want to make great memories, you can make sparkler writing and take photos with it. Read on if you want to know how to take sparkler messages on your wedding day like a pro. 1. The Set Up You need to collaborate with your wedding photographer with this. They need to use long shutter speeds or Bulb mode if their camera has the capabilities. The photographer needs to have a tripod to put the camera on since the lack of support will result in shakes that can spoil the shots. If they don't have a tripod, a good alternative is a level surface where the camera can rest without movements. Working in Bulb mode needs a remote or cable release since the shutter needs to be open. A shake can appear in your shot even if you hold down the shutter button with your finger. Without the use of Bulb mode, your photographer needs to set the exposure going. They can use the self-timer option of...

Congratulations! You're engaged! But your wedding day is fast approaching, and you want to add a certain glamour to your sendoff. What could you do that will make your pictures and memories stand out from everyone else's ceremonies? Your answer may be a sparkler send-off. Learn all about these beautiful exits here to determine if they are right for you and how, exactly, you go about preparing for one. What Is a Wedding Exit? Don't be embarrassed about not knowing the term. It's one of those vague notions that we see more in movies than in real life, so it's good to have a solid understanding of what a wedding send off really is. Most people mix up the process with the recessional, but the big difference is that the wedding exit is purely for the bride and groom. A recessional is for the entire wedding party at the end of the ceremony. When the send-off occurs is entirely up to the couple. Some prefer to do it after the ceremony and on the way to the reception hall. Others prefer it to be at the very end of the night. How to Plan a Sparkler Send-Off Planning a sparkler send off requires some extra planning, but the photos and fun are well worth it. We'll take you through the entire process from start to finish here. Check with Your Venue The first thing you'll want to do is check with your venue for restrictions. Some locations won't allow sparklers...

If you've trawled through Pinterest for wedding inspiration, then you'll probably already know that a wedding sparkler sendoff is perfect for gorgeous wedding photographs. You know the ones, the kind where the happy newlyweds are walking hand in hand as they exit their wedding venue, surrounded by smiling friends and family waving sparklers around. These pics are nothing short of dreamy, and they're great fun too. With that in mind, let's dive into how you can organize your own. First Things First You need to ensure your wedding venue allows sparklers, this is essential. Rest assured, most places allow them especially as nowadays wedding sparklers are incredibly safe and easy to manage. Some places have even had dedicated areas for these kinds of send-offs. This is hardly surprising when you consider how popular they are! Sometimes, the venue staff (providing you've asked them beforehand) will even help you pull this off. Which Sparklers Are Best? Our best advice is to source longer sized sparklers. Typically, these have a longer burn time, making them a more practical choice for weddings. Some premium sparklers are as long as 36 inches! Make sure you buy enough, so each guest has at least two. Top Tip: even if you opt for longer sparklers, instruct your guests to light them one at a time (this bides the happy couple a little more time). If you don't like the look of the extra-long sparklers, never fear. You can still get away with using the standard size...

Every couple dreams of their big day, traditionally most focus on a grand entrance into the reception hall. However, it's important not to forget the exit. Wedding sparklers are a great way to make sure you get photos that truly capture how special your big day is. Just imagine it, all of your friends and family standing in line waving lit sparklers. They're all excited and celebrating as you make your way to the car as husband and wife. This magical moment has become a very popular trend among summer outdoor weddings. But there are some mistakes that you want to avoid making. 1. Check that the Venue will Allow Wedding Sparklers A simple mistake that people make when they are planning a sparkler send-off is checking that the venue actually allows it. Some don't allow it due to insurance policies. The next thing you want to ask the venue about is whether they allow both the 20-inch ones or the 36-inch ones. If they only allow smaller ones you don't want to show up with big sparklers. Having the right wedding sparklers is half the battle. 2. Have an Announcement Sign You want to make sure you have a sign that announces your sparkling send off. Be sure to include the time that its happening so your guests are fully aware. The best pictures have lots of people sending you off. In a lot of cases guests will slowly dwindle as the night goes on, but if they know...
