How To Celebrate Guy Fawkes Night On Your Wedding Day
“Let the sparks fly. Share kisses, enjoy each other and be as happy as you can.”
November is here and, along with it, approaches one of the hottest nights of the year. Don’t worry, we’re not talking about the weather; we mean fire and Guy Fawkes night. 5th November is when this is celebrated, and it got us thinking. As a wedding and event planning brand, we’ve seen some lovely holidays incorporated into weddings. Uplanit has worked with couples having Christmas weddings, Easter weddings and even Halloween themed weddings.
You can undoubtedly incorporate Guy Fawkes Night into your wedding if you wish. This would be especially advantageous if you’re having a winter wedding or a reception late in the fall. It’ll give you and guests the perfect excuse to keep warm outside while being fascinated. How? Here are some tips from us on how to celebrate Guy Fawkes Night on your wedding day.
Have a Candle Lighting Ceremony
This beautiful wedding unity ritual signifies a new bond between you and your partner. Sometimes, parents and extended family members are included. The use of fire is what makes it another way to commemorate Guy Fawkes night at your wedding. In the candle lighting ceremony, the couple uses two single lit candles. These represent each of them. They then light a bigger candle representing their marriage. It’s a beautiful way to symbolise your love.
Hire Spectacular Fire-Breathers
Ramp up your wedding entertainment by including fire breathers to enthral your guests. They can do this during the reception or cocktail hour. It depends on what else you have scheduled. We’ve even seen couples hire a fire breathing wedding celebrant before.
Set Off Smoke-Bombs
Smoke Bombs are another lovely way that you can celebrate Guy Fawkes Night at your wedding. They are fun, breath-taking and exciting. You’ll love the wedding photos that you can get using these. A great time to set them off would be during your wedding day photoshoot. You can use smoke bombs in your wedding colours for the best results.
Keep Warm with An Evening Bonfire
Bonfires are a lovely addition to any wedding reception. We’ve seen them used at Rustic, Country and Beach weddings. The results are beautiful. You and your guests can curl up for some warmth and even toast marshmallows for a delicious treat. It’s a great way to set up bonding time and have fun while chasing the cold away. You can do this in groups or just have a big bonfire with everyone if you’re having a micro wedding.
Leave Through an Aisle of Sparklers
The photo-friendly moment you get using sparklers will have your wedding photographer thanking you. Guests can form a reverse receiving line after the last song at your reception. Share a kiss in the middle before you say your goodbyes and drive off into a happily ever after.
Close the Night with Fireworks
Light up the sky at your wedding venue for a picturesque event-closing moment at your wedding. Fireworks are another fun way to celebrate Guy Fawkes Night at your wedding. Hiring an expert company to handle this can be a bit pricey but is well worth it.
Remember to ask if it’s allowed at your wedding venue as there could be restrictions preventing its use.
Let the Sparks Really Fly
Your wedding is a celebration of your love. As part of the nod to Guy Fawkes night at your event, let the sparks fly. Share kisses, enjoy each other and be as happy as you can. Let your event sizzle with romance from the first kiss as a married couple at your ceremony to the last kiss at night. It’s a great way to fan the flames of love in your marriage too.
Guy Fawkes Night can be incorporated into your wedding and beautifully too. Whatever your reasons for incorporating it into your celebration, you’ll get beautiful picturesque moments. You can also use it to keep your loved ones warm, as in the case of the bonfire itself. Fire breathers and firework displays are also a favourite at weddings.
