Bride and groom send-offs are a wedding tradition. Uncooked vegetables and grains, like corn, oats and rice, have been tossed at brides and grooms based on the belief that couples would receive good fortune, fertility and prosperity. A bride looking to carry on tradition while making her send-off special to her wedding has a variety of alternatives to this long time tradition.
Environmentally safe send-off options show off a bride’s creative side and her care for the environment. Bird seed is thought to be safer for birds than the traditional rice send-off. We love the idea of using soothing scented lavender and colorful petal flowers for a send-off. Another environmentally friendly send-off alternative that has caught our eye is confetti made of leaves. The earthy colors of the leaf confetti are perfect for adding a warm, natural tone to the occasion.
For brides looking to incorporate wedding colors in all aspects of the wedding day, a send-off allows the perfect opportunity to emphasize the colors one last time. Colored streamers, balloons and confetti pay a tribute to the beautiful day.
Other send-off alternatives can be a lot of fun for the bride and groom as well as guests. Use bubbles, sparklers and even glow sticks for a fun exit that will leave a lasting impression on guests, and provide a fun background for magical pictures.
Brides, choose a send-off that best matches your wedding day theme, personality and relationship with your groom. Remember to smile and pose for a pretty picture to include in your wedding album!
