Sparkler Exits: A Fun and Unique Way to End Your Wedding Day

Sparkler exits are a popular way to end a wedding day, and for good reason. They're a fun and unique way to send off the newlyweds, and they make for some amazing photos.

If you're considering a sparkler exit for your wedding, there are a few things you need to know. First, you'll need to check with your venue to see if they allow them. Some venues have restrictions on sparkler exits, such as requiring that they be done at a certain time or in a certain area.

Second, you'll need to make sure your photographer is experienced with sparkler photography. Sparklers can be tricky to photograph, and you want to make sure your photographer knows how to get the best shots.

Here are a few tips for making the most of your sparkler exit:

  • Do it just before the first dance. This will give your guests time to sober up a bit after the reception dinner, and it will also give you a chance to get some amazing photos of the newlyweds dancing under the sparklers.

  • Line everyone up in a straight line. This will help you get the best shots, and it will also make it easier for your guests to see what they're doing.

  • Have someone hold the sparklers for the newlyweds. This will free up their hands so they can hold each other and enjoy the moment.

  • Be patient. It takes a few minutes for the sparklers to get going, so be patient and wait for the perfect shot.

With a little planning, a sparkler exit can be a fun and unique way to end your wedding day. And with the help of an experienced photographer, you'll be sure to get some amazing photos that you'll cherish for years to come.

Here are some additional tips for sparkler exits:

  • Use long sparklers. Long sparklers will give you more light to work with, and they will also make for more dramatic photos.

  • Avoid using sparklers in windy conditions. Wind can blow the sparklers around, making it difficult to get good shots.

  • Be careful not to start any fires. Sparklers can be hot, so be careful not to drop them on anything flammable, having a bucket of water to one side is a really good idea
