When Sparks Fly

The trend gods have spoken: The number of couples choosing to touch their guests' hearts with a July 4th-scale fireworks display is on the rise. Fireworks by Grucci (from $15,000; 631-286-0088) can really customize a fiery burst: Think monochrome explosions or interlocking hearts in the sky. City venues with great vantage points include the Water Club, the South Street Seaport, and the Intrepid. New York City law requires a permit, so allow for at least 30 days to get the paperwork in order. And keep your fingers crossed that you won't have to add members of the Fire Department to your guest list.
