Interesting Facts About Fireworks

Interesting Facts About Fireworks

It is generally accepted that fireworks were first discovered about 2000 years ago in China. The Chinese use fireworks regularly in all religious functions and celebrations, with the belief that the noise that they set off will frighten evil spirits. Fireworks were also used regularly in other Asian countries like Thailand and India. Although it is likely that the tradition of using fireworks for important religious and social occasions in all these countries had its origin in the belief that they could be useful in warding off evil spirits, today the greater motivation comes perhaps from the desire to have fun. Unlike the UK and other western countries, the sale and use of fireworks in many other countries are not strictly regulated, and almost anyone can buy and use them without many restrictions.

Fireworks in Britain

Fireworks were brought to the western world by the well-known globetrotter Marco Polo and European crusaders from the Middle East. In England the first recorded display of fireworks took place in 1486 during the wedding of King Henry VII. Later King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I made them popular. During this period, fireworks attained respectability and royal recognition. The position of a fireworks master was created by Queen Elizabeth I to take professional charge of all fireworks displays. It was left to King James II to elevate this position to the level of nobility when he knighted a fireworks master in recognition of a spectacular and exceptional display organized by him at the coronation ceremony of the king.

Fireworks in Europe

The Italians have been major contributors to the development of fireworks as an engaging form of art, adding variety and fascination to the shows. Florence in Italy had become a centre of fireworks manufacture by the 15th century. The Italians regularly used plaster figures that gave out fire from their eyes and mouths in their festivals. The coronation ceremony of Anne Boleyn was perhaps one of the first royal occasion in which such a display was employed. Subsequently, fireworks gained popularity among the royalty of Europe. King Louis XV of France encouraged extravagant fireworks displays. The credit for organizing one of the longest shows in those early days probably should go to the Czar of Russia, Peter the Great, when a five hour long show was held to celebrate the birth of a son to the czar.

Fireworks for Weddings

Fireworks for Weddings

Fireworks have become part of our lives and important celebrations for many cannot be thought of without them. When fireworks produced their first loud bang two thousand years ago, the noise seemed an ideal one to drive away evil spirits, and fireworks have been assisting human beings in this endeavour over the years. What started perhaps as a custom to ward off evil, however, became strongly associated with any celebration or auspicious event. Weddings being one of the most important events in a person’s life, it is small wonder that fireworks should occupy a pride of place in weddings. Although the custom might not have become widespread everywhere, celebrating weddings with fireworks would lend a distinct and unique flavour to the event and make it memorable.

Organizing fireworks for weddings

As in any other celebration, if you are planning an extensive fireworks show during a wedding, the arrangements for, and handling of, fireworks are best left in qualified and professional hands so that you get both quality fireworks displays and can ensure the safety of your guests. On the other hand, if you just want to add a touch of fireworks by lighting one or two fireworks that have thematic significance, you can easily select an appropriate firework from various fireworks for weddings that are readily available.

Selecting a fireworks firm for your event

If you are planning an elaborate display of fireworks for weddings, there are a number of professional organizations that you can approach. The first step is, of course, to select the particular fireworks that you would like to be displayed. This obviously calls for some knowledge of the fireworks concerned, and how they would integrate with your other arrangements. If you have opted for a thematic wedding, this might become all the more important. Even otherwise, the fireworks for weddings should preferably gel with the colour schemes and decorations that you have planned for your wedding. An elaborate fireworks show should be conducted by trained and professional pyrotechnicians. Make sure that the company organizing the fireworks for weddings has sufficient number of such professionals and that it has a good track record. You should preferably take references from past users and ensure that their experience was satisfactory, because you can ill afford to take chances with your wedding.

Working out the details

Once you have selected the company that will do the fireworks for your wedding, sit with them and discuss the details of your theme, colour selection, and other details. See what they have to offer and how it matches your own arrangements. Although it is a very good idea to leave the basic planning and selection of items for the fireworks for weddings in professional hands, you should finally understand what you will be getting, because it is you who will know the other details of the wedding as well as the particular preferences and dislikes that you and your circle of friends may share. So the bottom line is: Take professional help but don’t fail to check what you’re getting.

Many professional firms engaged in organizing fireworks for weddings have several pre-determined packages from which you can choose one. This makes your work, as well as that of the agency organizing the show, much easier. You just have to look at a number of ready-made options and select one that suits your requirements best. One of the biggest advantages of these packages is that much planning has already gone into their selection, and they have possibly been proven over time through actual use. A custom-made package will have the advantage of being unique, but will suffer from the disadvantages of higher cost, and may lead to a sub-optimal solution.

Yet another alternative is to select the individual fireworks items, and organize the show yourself. This would work out if you are planning a small show, and preferably also have at least some level of expertise. You can select thematic and relevant fireworks for weddings in this case. For example, you can select a firework that is shaped like your wedding cake and watch it perform a choreographed display. Whatever is your decision, you have a fairly wide range of fireworks for weddings to choose from. You can easily start your search with the Internet, and zero in on whatever promises to meet your requirements in the most satisfactory and professional manner.
