Unpopular opinion alert!🚨 Faux Sparkler Exit is better than a real Sparkler Exit. 😱 Let me spill the sparkly beans on why this is the way to go… 1. Aesthetic Control: With the faux sparkler exit, we get to orchestrate the magic. No need to worry about the chaos or timing—we craft a picture-perfect scene that captures your love story beautifully. The controlled lighting and ambiance will elevate the image into a piece of artwork. 2. Less People Involved: It’s your special day, let’s focus on you two! The faux sparkler exit involves fewer people, making it much less chaotic. This way, we ensure that you and your honey are the focus! 3. Fresh and Flawless: Let’s face it, a few hours on that dance floor takes its toll. But with the faux sparkler exit, it’s a different story. No need to worry about your hair, makeup, or that dance floor glow you’ve been rocking. We get to capture you at your freshest self.💁🏻‍♀️ What are your thoughts? Are you for it or against it?
