Last week I wrote about having a fireworks display at your wedding. Fireworks are definitely a spectacular way to celebrate your wedding; unfortunately, not many couples have it in their budget for a large fireworks display. Never fear! The Virtual Bridesmaid is to the rescue! (Ta da!... can I have a cape?)If you want the experience of having fireworks at your wedding but need a more cost effective solution, here are a few options:
1) Have an Indoor Display
Another option to a larger outdoor fireworks display is an indoor display. Indoor fireworks displays typically involve hiring pyro-technician professionals. They can create displays out of a main centerpiece (like an ice sculpture) or smaller displays on table centerpieces.
2) Have a Set Piece Display
A set piece display is an exhibit that a fireworks company puts together for you. Typically, the “set pieces” are arragned into letters that spell out a message such as “Congratulations”, “Best of Luck”, “Love”, “Bruce & Kathy” or they can be shaped to look like an object such as a heart, doves, or a wedding cake.
3) Use Sparklers
You can use sparklers in a number of ways:
Bridal Party
· Your bridesmaids can carry them down the isle
· Your bridesmaids and groomsmen can hold them as you enter the reception site
· Your bridesmaids and groomsmen can hold them during a group dance
Guests
· Your guests can hold them and form a line as you leave the ceremony site
· Your guests can hold them as you enter the reception site
· Your guests can hold them as they form a circle around you for your first dance
· Your guests can hold them as you depart the reception site
Other Options
· Wedding favors
· Placed in the wedding cake
· Placed in wedding cupcakes
· Centerpiece display
· Large sparklers can be put in the ground to line the driveway/path when you leave the reception site
Sparklers are considered novelties and can be ordered online and shipped anywhere nationwide. If you plan on using sparklers, please make sure that they are legal in your county. I've located a few websites that offer more information on wedding sparklers:

There is also a very useful information page for brides considering the use of sparklers in weddings. There are quite a few practical issues, particularly regarding safety and legality. I suggest everyone read it before deciding to use sparklers or not.
