For this Wedding Wednesday post, I thought I would share a gorgeous idea I found on Project Wedding. Have you ever dreamed of having fireworks at your wedding, but pushed that idea right out of your mind knowing that it was well and truely out of the budget, not to mention somewhat "over the top"! Well, this budget savvy bride came up with a super cute and super cheap alternative - sparklers. So I thought I would add my own little twist on this.
I made this simple cardboard cone, filled it with sparklers and decorated it with paper and a ribbon, co-ordinating beautifully with a covered box of matches. I used the "Dandelion Haze Paper', which I think stylishly ties in with the sparkler theme!
With one of these left on each of the reception tables, the guests could form 2 lines and light the sparklers to create a tunnel for the bride and groom to run through as they leave the reception - a bright and fun way to end a simply "sparkling" day!
So your guests don't get carried away and light the sparklers early, simply add a tag to the cone with the following inscription...or something like it...
Our wedding day marks the start of our life,
facing each day together as husband and wife.
With a love that's authentic, passionate and true,
we'll walk each day together til this life is through.
So as we leave on this journey we hope you will play,
adding sparkle and fun to the goodbye we will say...
Through a tunnel of sparklers, lit and shining bright,
as a symbol of our love declared here tonight!
