Fireworks

Take to the skies with Confetti.

Nowadays, no fashionable wedding or celebration is complete without a big finish and a wedding fireworks display can serve as both a romantic moment between the bride and groom, and thrilling entertainment for the guests. Picture if you will the scene; you’ve finished your wedding breakfast and everyone has had a great time on the dance floor. Darkness has fallen, and for the grand finale to your day you invite all of your guests outside and ask them to direct their gaze heavenward. Whoops, cheers, sighs and laughter fill the air as your perfect day ends with a spectacular bang!

Pyrotechnical displays are a great way to bring a bit of celebrity glamour to proceedings. From Posh and Becks to Coleen and Wayne, and Tom and Katie to Brad and Jen, no WAG or Hollywood starlet considers her special day complete without an extravagant fireworks display.

You don’t have to splash out A-list cash to sprinkle a little Hollywood magic on your celebration though. Many couples are now seeking out DIY displays as a great value way of bringing the wow-factor to their wedding without blowing the budget. Ask a responsible adult – an usher or the best man, to be in charge of the display on the night, and reward them with a bottle of champagne afterwards!

With DIY displays, you can enjoy small or medium sized choreographed pyrotechnics with all of the show-stopping qualities to really stun your guests. The single light, multi-shot kits mean that creating a magnificent display couldn’t be simpler, choose one for an elegant interlude in your evening, or combine several kits for a show-stopping grand finale. For larger scale and longer lasting fireworks hire a fireworks specialist to put on a show.

For a magical and much quieter alternative to the nerve-shattering excitement of a fireworks display, many couples are choosing Chinese lanterns, also known as sky-lanterns as a charming way to complete their celebration. These biodegradable paper lanterns are lit and released into the night sky to drift silently over the horizon in a mesmerising display of luminous beauty. Couples can encourage guests to make a wish on their lantern before releasing them to lend extra appeal to these delightful decorations.

Fireworks displays are undoubtedly exciting and spectacular, but do remember to check local restrictions before planning a display. Also, don’t forget to adhere to all safety guidelines when organising a fireworks display or releasing sky-lanterns.

Whether you book a fireworks specialist, arrange your own DIY display or simply make a wish on a Chinese flying lantern, no wedding is quite complete without such a very special finale.
