Editorial on Wedding Fireworks - written by Rob Glover

A fireworks display to end your wedding day is becoming increasingly popular, partly because people are looking for something a bit different these days and partly because it has never been so affordable.

When considering a fireworks display you need to ask the venue if they are happy to have them. Some venues will allow you to fire your own fireworks some will insist that a professional company must fire it. You must have at least 25M safety distance from where you let the fireworks off to the audience, this applies to most fireworks you can buy with some exceptions and all professional displays.

Once you have confirmed that you can have fireworks at the venue you need to decide whether you wish to let the fireworks off yourself or use a professional company. If you choose to let them off yourself remember to allow time to set them up and someone must stay sober and take responsibility to fire them. This can be quite a hassle when your busy organising a hundred and one other things. One solution is to buy a Display Box, these fireworks produce two - three minute displays and only have one fuse to light. They come in sturdy boxes and are easy to set up and produce spectacular displays.

To avoid the hassle of organising the fireworks you can call in a professional company who will take care of everything. An added advantage is that they can also fire fireworks not allowed for public use that can create quite amazing effects. When choosing a fireworks company make sure that they are prepared to give you and the venue their insurance details, they will need at least £5 Million Public Liability. Remember that fireworks are fundamentally expensive items and the more you are prepared to spend the better the display you will get.

A few extra things you can think about when bringing in a professional company is that you can ask for special items like lance work. Lance work, also know as fire words or fire writing can write initials or words in fireworks. Popular for weddings are the two initials of the married couple separated by a heart. You can also consider adding outdoor lighting to light the trees and shrubs of the gardens.

Lastly, decide on a firing time. Its a good idea to discuss it with the venue as very late times can cause disturbance for local residents. It is against the Law to let fireworks off after 11pm. One tip for people wanting to make a fireworks display a surprise is not to leave the firing time too late in the evening. Quite often guests leave before the fireworks because they don’t know they’re happening, especially guests with younger children. A good time is usually during the break for food/buffet in the evening. It often gives the venue chance to set the food out while people are watching the display.
