FireWork Pom Poms... Maybe you're hoping to see some **fireworks **on your wedding day besides the ones going on between you and your new husband! But the real thing can be a little costly and dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. So play it safe and cool with these adorable firework paper pom poms. I love the idea of filling mason jars with sand to help keep the pom-poms up-right for your centerpiece.

Famous Quotes

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
