Fireworks Laws: Where to Buy Wedding Sparklers in Hawaii

Hawaii is very unique as a US territory in the fact that it is a chain of islands. However, the Hawaii fireworks laws are strictly enforced. Because of protected wildlife areas, you need to make sure you know the regulations before deciding to use sparklers for weddings at your event. Fortunately, there are plenty of great places where they’re allowed if you know where to look.

Whether you live in Honolulu, Hilo, or any other city in Hawaii, not many states take their state fireworks laws as serious as they do; especially since it features the only “royal” palace in the U.S. (Iolani). To ensure you have a safe and legal celebration, I’ve broken down the current Hawaii fireworks laws so you can use wedding sparklers on your big day without legal issues.

Finding a Place to Buy Sparklers for Weddings on an Island

One of the biggest issues you’re going to have when looking for where to buy wedding sparklers in Hawaii is that it’s an island. Unfortunately, that means most companies won’t be able to ship them to you; including us. This is because there are strict regulations that restrict fireworks from being able to be transported by air. So, finding them can be a bit of a challenge; even though the Hawaii fireworks laws allow their use.

Fortunately, there are some places that sell them locally, and you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding them. If you do, we are always here to assist you in your search. However, you shouldn’t get your hopes up too much on the selection that will be available. You should be able to find traditional versions, but specialty items like champagne bottle sparklers will likely be in short supply. Nevertheless, finding where to buy wedding sparklers in Hawaii is completely possible with a few calls or web searches. Here are the most likely versions that you’ll be able to find if you look in the right spots.

Sparkler Tip #11: Metal Handles are Always Best!

One of the most common questions I get is about the classic metal wire sparklers vs. wooden handle sparklers debate. Some people have the misconception that wooden handles will remain cooler and are safer than their steel counterparts. However, this is simple false. In fact, handles made from wood such as bamboo are actually the most dangerous by a large margin! As a sparkler performs, it generates a lot of heat. That heat causes wood to fall apart and drop embers at horrible times. Additionally, they smolder for minutes after they’ve been used; and that’s a big fire risk. Conversely, steel wire is perfectly suited for the high temperatures of a sparkler while still remaining cool. If you ask any real expert in the world, they’ll agree that metal handles are always best!
