With the Fourth of July right around the corner, now is a great time to talk about using sparklers at weddings!  It is a great time to buy sparklers for your Americana holiday celebration and for your wedding send off. Sparklers are a popular option for wedding exist for good reasons: they are fun and look great in photos!

What Type of Sparklers To Buy

You will want to look for metal sparklers since these eliminate many of the issues with traditional bamboo sparklers that burn quickly and with more smoke. Metal sparklers do not produce any smoke and will look great in your photos. You’ll want to check with your venue as well since many only allow metal sparklers (and some do not allow sparklers at all.

You may be wondering, what size sparklers should you buy for your wedding? The most popular on many websites where you can buy sparklers is 36 inches. These long sparklers have a long burn time of around 4 minutes so you have enough time to light all the sparklers from the beginning to end, do your exit, and get the special photo too.

If you have a smaller wedding party you may also consider 20 inch sparklers. These sparklers have a quicker burn time of just over 2 minutes so it works best with smaller parties with a quick lighting process. These shorter sparklers are also much cheaper so they offer a great deal for brides on a budget.

You will generally have less options in this type of store but if you want to shop locally it’s worth checking out. Some specialty wedding shops or vendors will also discuss your sparkler needs and order them for you to pick up from the shop.

Fireworks Stands

Local fireworks stores and stands that pop up in the summer around the Fourth of July can offer a chance to buy wedding sparklers. You won’t find sparklers specifically designed for weddings so you risk not finding the right type of sparkler for your venue with this option. However, they will have a large amount of sparklers and often have big discounts once the holiday passes.

Big Box and Grocery Stores

During the summer around the 4th of July, many grocery stores and big box stores sell sparklers. Usually it’s a very small selection of sparklers not designed for weddings but you can find them in store in a pinch last minute. Big box stores like Walmart will offer a larger selection year round when they have a designated aisle for wedding supplies.
