I'm really onto movie songs right now. If you're friends with me personally- you know that my ALL TIME FAVORITE TV/movie experience is when everyone breaks into song and dance. Case in point- Glee is one of the best things to happen to me. Besides the movie Hairspray and Mr. SE.
That being said- our exit from War Memorial has been one that perplexed me. The steps are lovely, and quite grand, and we needed something that held up to the grandeur of those marble beauties. I love the idea of ribbon wands (please don't smirk at me Mr. SE), they just won't work in the dark. So yes, I had to submit. I didn't want to do it- and I certainly kicked my heels. We will be using sparklers. Do they look great in photos? Of course. Am I terrified of our intoxicated friends torching my dress? Heck yes.
But alas, they make beautiful photos. And isn't that what it's all about? Here's some photographic proof...

And will we be exiting to a Lamborghini? Sorry Mr SE. A horse drawn carriage? Sweet but stinky. Classy vintage sedan? Not this time. My handsome husband and I will be spending our first night as Mr. and Mrs. at The Hermitage Hotel. It's only 1/2 block from War Memorial, so we'll be walking there! I think it'll be so cute for us to make the little walk together. All the while saving several hundred on a limo!
What do you think of the sparkler exit? Did you do something special to exit your reception venue? Ooh- and if you did use sparklers, where did you get them? I'm looking for a bargain, friends!

For that venue, I think nothing but sparklers would work. Especially at night. Will be so pretty!!! I'd say stock up around 4th of July on the sparklers. There's a place in Missouri that's about a 3 hour drive called Boomland that's like a warehouse for those things. It's a far drive though so might not be worth it.
i personally love the sparklers!! i do agree, though after some friends' weddings i am reluctant to use them too because someone almost got hurt--just be careful!! and walking to the hermitage will be great--and just a little moment for you and the new hubs, too!
We had sparklers at our wedding but its sad to say that our photogs were gone by the time we left. Me and the hubs were just too busy on the dance floor to want to exit the wedding when our photogs were done taking pictures. The few photos we do have are of me hiding inside Mr. Bear's jacket and him waving to everyone, hahahaa.
With that being said I definitely love sparklers and think you shoudl use them! And I love that you are walking to your hotel that is so cute!l

You cannot go wrong with sparklers at all. But do be prepared as Mrs Bear said to have your photogs stay until you are ready to leave if you want pro pics with them. They're the go to grand exit item and there's a reason why - they're fun and look so pretty in the shots!
