Sparkle!

Happy Independence Day (a little early)!! My best friend's family moved to Plymouth, MA when we were in high school and it opened our eyes to a new kind of Independence Day celebration: July 3rd. On their beach everyone celebrates July 3rd with gusto while July 4th is a little bit more of an afterthought. So nearly every year since they moved I have joined them down there for bonfires on the beach, fireworks set off in neighbors back yards and off course lots of grilling. We're heading down again tomorrow for the annual celebration so I wanted to share some sparkler-inspired photos with you a little early!

I love sparklers at weddings and I adore the creativity I'm now seeing with them in photos! How great would a thank you card be if you spelled out "Thanks"?

Always check with your venue first to make sure they allow sparklers. Some places may be okay with the short ones, but not be on board with the long ones (and the long ones are oh-so-fun for weddings!).

For the best effect guests need to be able to light their sparklers all around the same time. Put sand in small galvanized buckets and place 3-5 votives in each. Have your coordinator light the candles and pass out the sparklers at the end of your reception for the perfect "getaway"!

I hope you have a happy and safe July 4th and be sure to contact us if you want to know how we can make your day a bit more sparkly!
