We had sparklers for our wedding, and we asked our guests to light them during our first dance. It looked stunning and I managed to find really nice ones that were about half a metre long. The little “Spur” sparklers were no good. I got a whole pack and they burnt out before they started going, so they’re sitting in my kitchen draw.
The only thing I found with the sparklers is that I couldnt find a nice way to display them, being so big, they really would look completely out of place on the tables.
So, instead I got someone to hand them out just before the first dance on a nice silver tray. When I was looking though, I found these great ideas online. I guess if you tie them and just leave them on the table it would’nt look too bad?
We also did the whole “Perfect Match” thing, which was really cute. I made the boxes to match our invitations and put one match box on each table.

It looks really beautiful in photos!
I love the idea but if you dont mind me asking. Where abouts do you get the long sparklers from?
Hi Suz
Believe me I hunted! Those Spur ones just dont do it hehehe. I got them from a place in Durban, called Roepenands (spelling?). They sell them for Diwali so I asked a few of my Hindu clients and they recommended Reopenands. Not badly priced either :)
