If you’re dreaming of that magical “just married” moment under a sky full of glittering lights, let me introduce you to one of our fave wedding send-off ideas: the sparkle exit. Now imagine that on a stunning beach in Roatan — warm breeze, soft sand, the sound of waves, and YOU and your favorite person, lit up like a walking Pinterest board. Yeah, it’s that good.
As a Roatan Wedding Planner who lives for the aesthetic and knows this island like the back of my hand, here are my top tips for making your sparkler exit unforgettable (and safe — because duh, we still love our hair and dresses in one piece).
1. Choose the Right Sparklers
Not all sparklers are created equal. The ones you used as a kid on the 4th of July? Probably too short. Go for the *36-inch smokeless sparklers* — they burn longer (about 3–4 minutes), give off more light, and won’t leave you coughing in your wedding gown. Perfect for those dreamy golden-hour shots your *Roatan wedding photographer* will be obsessed with.
2. Get That Timing Just Right
Timing is key. We usually recommend doing the sparkle exit when it’s dark enough for the sparklers to pop but not pitch black (think 7–8 PM depending on the season). Your *Roatan Wedding Planner* will coordinate with your photographer and DJ to make sure the lighting, music, and moment all align.
3. Prep Your Guests (and Assign a Sparkler Squad)
Trust me, guests + fire + no plan = chaos. We always assign a “sparkler squad” — basically a few friends (or our wedding team) to help light the first few sparklers and pass the flame down. Pro tip: Have buckets of sand nearby for easy sparkler disposal after the exit!
4. Practice Your Walk (Seriously)
Sounds extra, but you’ll thank us later. Practice how you and your partner will walk through the sparkler tunnel. Will you stop for a kiss? A dip? A spin? That practice helps your photographer capture your exact vibe — and nothing says iconic like a dip kiss under sparklers with the *Caribbean Sea* in the background.
5. Add Your Island Touch
Want to make it even more “Roatan”? Here are some tropical add-ons:
- DJ play both your favorite song for your exit.
- Floral accents at your sparkler station.
- A barefoot walk down the beach or boardwalk (of your venue choice). 🏝️
- Glow-up cocktails handed out post-exit for a celebratory toast
6. Let Your Planner Handle It All
As your go-to *Roatan Wedding Planner*, we’ll make sure everything is smooth — from sparkler delivery to coordinating the perfect photo op. You deserve a stress-free sparkle moment, and we’re here to make that happen.
