When the bride and groom leave the party location, a variety of things are tossed at the newlywed. Originally, the rice toss tradition was supposed to grant a good harvest. Recently, tossing rice is rare. No wonder: it is a waste of food and attracts vermin. Fortunately, there significantly better alternatives, which conveniently provide great photos.
Eco-confetti
Use beautiful environmentally friendly confetti. This recycled paper or soluble paper confetti is hardly distinguishable from ordinary confetti, yet creates magnificent effects.
Flags
Go for a festive look and provide the guests with small flags. Everyone writes a nice message on the flags. It is fun for the guests and provides an opportunity of creating cheerful pictures. Perhaps collect some as memorabilia?
Confetti poppers
All guests are waiting with confetti canons in their hands: this is quite literally leaving the wedding with a bang!
Cones with lavender
More fun than tossing rice: ice cream cones with lavender scent. Let friends and family toss the lavender when you leave the wedding. Original and the smell is mesmerizing!
Paper airplanes
Paper airplanes would definitely create a joyous moment. Especially the little ones will enjoy throwing airplanes during your exit! Caution; watch out for the sharp point of the aircraft.
Glitters
All into glitter and glamour? Leave your wedding super shiny. The glitters are probably still in your hair after three weeks, but hey, who cares, right.
White ribbons
A marriage in autumn or winter, or perhaps the beach? Cease the opportunity of using the windy circumstances. Let the guests wait for you with long white ribbons. As these are especially lovely when it is windy! Not only a beautiful memory a guarantee for nice pictures.
Discodip
Discodip: In your younger years, it was probably your favorite topping on ice cream. Lovely when the guests toss it at you during the end of the wedding. It is especially beautiful when combined with a white wedding dress.
Pompoms
Well known from designing art projects, but also an original and colorful experience when used as replacement for rice. Shiny and colorful!
Artificial snow
Definitely recommended when you marry during winter: artificial snow. Especially lovely for those amongst you who are already comfortable during those winter spheres and have been missing the absence of snow during recent years.
Asterisks
Leaving your party in the dark is no longer an issue; let the guests wait for you with asterisks. However, please carefully choose your photographer; taking pictures absent constant light is difficult!
Rose petals
What is more romantic? Rose petals are never wrong. Especially on a romantic event such as your wedding, they are indispensable.
Beach balls
Do you marry on the beach? Consider leaving your party with small beach balls. Not only great for yourself but also for the pictures.
Cheerleader Poms
Of course, yours guests encourage the marriage one hundred percent. Why not have your own crowd of cheerleaders cheering you one?
Bubble-blowing
Blowing bubbles is becoming increasingly popular among adults. You cannot go to a festival without seeing someone blowing bubbles. Give a small bubble blower to your guests and add a bit of a festival touch to your wedding.
Eucalyptus leaves
Earlier we mentioned lavender. Just like lavender, eucalyptus has a wonderful fragrance. These beautiful green leaves give a natural effect and fit nicely with your bridal bouquet.
Dance ribbon
Commonly used by dancers but also pretty and nice when your guests swing around with these ribbons. Make small sticks with short ribbons and let the guest’s wave away!
Letters
Let the guests write down a small message or good luck wishes on small papers. After being tossed, they should be picked up quickly; otherwise, you might loss some lovely messages. After all, these letters can bring back lovely memories in upcoming years!
