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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
