Wedding Send Off Ideas

We've had a short hiatus from blog writing (okay, 6 months) but we're happy to be blogging again! Hope you like this one...


The tradition of throwing rice at the bride and groom as a wedding send-off is almost non-existent today. Many churches and other ceremony venues have banned throwing rice because it leaves a huge mess for them to clean up. Also, people can slip and fall on the rice, which is a liability for the venue (and not so great for wedding photos). Here are some great ideas for sending-off the newly married couple without the mess!



Bubbles



Perfect for a warm, daytime wedding. Large selection in bottle/wand design and easy to coordinate with wedding colors.

Bells

Easy to handle, easy to decorate, and available in various types, bells are a great way to "ring in" the happy new couple! Appropriate for any time of the day and can be used at the reception to request newlywed kisses.

Ribbon Wands
Beautiful ribbon wands are new on the wedding scene and look elegant in white, or can coordinate with the wedding colors. Best for daytime weddings.

Dove Release

A long-standing tradition for weddings, white doves are symbols of love, hope, peace and the soul. They also mate for life and, according to superstition, if you see a pair of doves on your wedding day you will have a long and happy marriage.

Sparklers

Definitely a good choice for an evening wedding, sparklers create an atmosphere of fun and excitement. Just be certain of the weather; rain and wind could ruin this happy send off!

Glow Wands

Send off the young, fun couple (who are also planning a pretty rowdy reception) with glow wands! Clearly suited for the night sky, glow wands can really spice up a reception - and kids love them too!
