When I fell in love with our venue, I didn’t know that sparklers were prohibited from the property. Boo! I’ve always wanted sparklers. From the beginning, as we sometimes say. I knew from the beginning.

Needless to say, I was really disappointed when I found out we weren’t going to be able to have them. I sulked for a long time about it but, eventually, I realized the pros of our venue far out way the cons, and I just have to get over having sparklers.

My backup? Bubbles. Yes, bubbles. I’m one of thoooose brides. Haha. I wasn’t sold on the bubbles at first, but while thrift-store hopping (my favorite pasttime), I found a bunch of packs of wedding bubbles for about 25 cents each (score!). It seemed like a sign! Hey, they’re usually a dollar each. What a steal, right?! I thought so.

I also got excited about decorating the bottles. That’s going to be such a fun and easy DIY project.

Right now they look pretty plain and boring, but of course we plan on adding some color! Some pink and green. Woot woot! I was also thinking of making labels or a sign that says “Love is in the Air,” or something sweet like that. Ideas?

The moral of the story? Not all dashed wedding dreams have a sad ending. In this case, it turns out my sparkler dilemma has turned into a really exciting project and (as you can see from the pictures below) some really cool photos, hopefully. Not to mention loads of fun for our guests (especially the younger crowd)!

Will you have bubbles or sparklers or something else? Did you have to revise some of your wedding plans when you found your venue?
