Stardust

Stardust opens with crackling gold effects, with coloured tips spreading across the sky. In the second section, vivid dahlias and dense silver glitter take over, before everything concludes with a distinct salute finale with crackling silver.

Character: Steady intensity throughout the show. Two distinct acts that build atmosphere before the finale marks the close.

Noise level: Medium aerial bang, distinct but balanced — Stardust is heard and felt without becoming extreme.

Best for: Perfect at the beginning or middle of a larger display. It builds energy and creates anticipation ahead of more powerful finale shells. Also works well as a standalone element at smaller celebrations.

Combine with: Start with a calmer, more glittering shell before Stardust for contrast. Follow with a more powerful finale cake if you want to create a clear climax in your show.
