So now that you’ve said “I do” it’s time to party the night away. But before you head to the reception and hit the dance floor it’s time for your exit and first appearance as a married couple. Throwing rice as the couple makes their way back down the aisle has been a long standing tradition in weddings, but over the years couples have become more creative with this. I found a few of my favorite ideas to share, but you can also take this opportunity and personalize it to make it fit you as a couple.


This past weekend we had a wedding that used bubbles for the send off. Bubbles are a fun and playful way to send the bride and groom off and even better, they don’t leave a mess behind!

For a night wedding, sparklers are a great choice. They also make really cool pictures!


Recently I have seen a lot of couples use streamers. Ribbons come in all colors and patterns so it will be easy to find one that matches your theme. You can also have them printed with your names and the date of your wedding.

My favorite confetti to throw is cut outs from books. They can be from great love stories like Romeo and Juliet or from one of your favorite books as a couple.
Happy planning everyone!
