Chicago Fireworks and Confetti

Anything that sparkles under candle light is sure to give any wedding reception that fairy-tale quality. Using fireworks is a good way to differentiate your wedding from others. We're not talking about a huge fireworks show, this is a wedding not Disneyland! However, if you're having your wedding in a park and have authorization to put on your own fireworks show, take advantage. It's a good way to let the rest of Chicago know that you just tied the knot.

There are a few firework companies in Chicago that put on amazing shows. When dealing with pyrotechnics, make sure you find people that run an efficient and safe business. Firework displays can be performed inside as well as outside, and nothing would be more frightening than something catching on fire during the reception! Go with someone who not only handles the fireworks with comfort and ease but who also has experience with weddings. There are various ways to set up a display and you want something that corresponds well with your theme and location.

Sparklers are fun for everyone and have a wonderful and everlasting effect on the guests. They make wedding pictures warm and dreamlike and can be purchased in a variety of colors and sizes. Typically recommended for weddings are gold sparklers as they sparkle the most and are more distinct in color. There is also silver, red, and green. If you're planning on having red or green in your wedding theme using those color sparklers would be perfect.

Wedding confetti comes in all shapes and sizes. There's different types depending on whether or not you want it to be thrown or used in table decorations. This is a nice touch for any season and any theme. There's rose petal confetti to hearts, and even larger ones shaped like the bride and groom. Use it to accent your tables along with votive candles. The result will be that romantic reception room you're looking for.

Remember to keep water handy during the firework or sparkler show! This is an important point that the firework company should be sure to run over with you. Also keep in mind that fireworks, depending on what you select, could cost quite a bit of money. Despite price, don't attempt to take on this part of the reception on by yourself! Fireworks should be left up to the pyro-technicians.
