We are trying to spread awareness of safety with firecrackers at weddings, the couple told, adding that they had travelled from Canada to Bengaluru for their wedding. A video captured this distressing moment to alert all others of misuse.

In weddings and photo shoots, a “color bomb” typically refers to a smoke bomb or smoke grenade designed to emit colored smoke upon ignition. These devices are popular props that create dramatic and vibrant backgrounds. In Piyas case, however, the color bombs left her with serious injuries that required treatment at a hospital.

The couples Instagram video shows the extent of her injuries, with a large burn on her back and hair left scorched in the photo shoot gone wrong.

We are from Canada and had our wedding in Bangalore. The incident happened in between the wedding ceremony and the reception. We had to rush to the hospital to treat the burn, Vicky and Piya shared.

In the comments section, many expressed sympathies with the injured bride while others asked her to stop blaming evil eye.

This is one in a long line of incidents where celebratory firecrackers have injured people at weddings. In November last year, a car caught fire in Uttar Pradesh’s Saharanpur after a man was shooting firecrackers throughs its sunroof during a wedding procession.

Color Bombs are like water bombs – but instead of water they are filled with colored powder, and instead of destruction on impact you can pick them up and throw them again and again, until the powder is fully depleted. These bring an extra dimension of fun and add major wow factor to photoshoot, celebration or event.

Especially, in the firecrackers, Barium produces bright greens; strontium yields deep reds; copper produces blues; and sodium yields yellow. Other colors can be made by mixing elements: strontium and sodium produce brilliant orange; titanium, zirconium, and magnesium alloys make silvery white; copper and strontium make lavender.
