TREND
THE AFTERGLOW
AS THE SUN SETS , COUPLES ARE CHOOSING TO BRING COLOUR , SPARKLE AND VIBRANCY TO THEIR CELEBRATIONS . HERE ’ S HOW YOU CAN DO IT TOO
SPARKLERS The trend for couples ending their night by walking out to a pathway of sparklers shows no signs of slowing . And for good reason too - it ’ s a surefire way to create a memorable photo and provides an alternative to the post-ceremony confetti shot .
GLOW STICKS Light up the dance floor by providing your guests with glow sticks . They ’ re a fun way to inject some colour into the night and guests can fashion them into bright accessories as they embrace the rave .
COLOURED SMOKE BOMBS You ’ ll need to do this before the sun sets or the vibrancy will get lost , but swap golden hour for brightly coloured smoke bombs . You ’ ll achieve some amazing photos and they ’ re a great way of bringing something different to your day .
FIREWORKS If your budget allows for it , there ’ s no better way to end your wedding than with a fireworks display . As we head into autumn , more couples start to consider this as an option thanks to Bonfire night and the sun setting earlier .
FAIRY LIGHTS Fairy lights or festoon flights can instantly bring a touch of magic to any space , and they can create a beautiful backdrop for your wedding . Hang them everywhere for maximum impact , or weave them through trees and watch the outside come alive after dark .
PHONE TORCHES Much like concert-goers are now using phone lights to bring ambience to a gig , so too are wedding guests . This is a budget friendly option for those who want to create similar shots to sparkler photos but don ’ t want to splash out on any extra kit .
