You can’t plan a wedding without considering the entrance, but how about the exit? From rice to colored pom-poms, wedding send-offs are limited only by your imagination. Here are some creative ideas to make your send-off the memorable, picturesque experience you’ve always imagined.
- Rice
You can’t go wrong with a classic! Traditionally a symbol of prosperity and fertility, tossing rice has been a tradition in Europe since the Middle Ages. Contrary to urban legend, raw rice is not harmful to birds. However, if you’d like a more avian-friendly option, consider birdseed instead!
- Rose Petals
Whether or not roses are your wedding flower, tossing these petals is an elegant send-off option. Here’s a step-by-step description of how to prepare for the toss on your big day.
- Pom Poms
If you’re looking for a colorful, budget-conscious option, consider pom poms. Check out how they make photos pop in this DIY wedding to remember! Got a lot of time on your hands or a very helpful bridal party? Consider making your own.
- Confetti Poppers
Confetti isn’t just for New Years! Confetti poppers can be picked up at your local party supply store, purchased specifically with weddings in mind, or, like so many wedding ideas these days make on your own.
