Ideas for your Wedding Day Send-off!
Ceremony and reception entrances are highly anticipated but don’t forget, an exciting and distinctive send-off makes for striking photography and a lasting memory for you and your guests. In the past, this tradition typically included throwing rice at the happy couple but has evolved to embrace the personalities and vision of the couple. Here are some ideas to consider as you select which send-off matches your vision best!
Sparklers
Waving sparklers creates a dazzling display for a nighttime send-off and is sure to make a statement in color or black & white photography. Make sure your photographer captures both ends of this display for unforgettable pictures!
Petals & Leaves
Fresh flower petals, dried florals, lavender or eucalyptus leaves are some eco-friendly and aromatic options for a romantic send-off during the day!
Bubbles
Bubbles can afford versatility for day or evening. With ambient lighting, bubbles can create a whimsical send-off in the evening. Opt for a bubble machine as well to maximize the visual effect!
Glow Sticks
Glow sticks offer versatility for the dance floor and send-off and last longer than sparklers!
Ribbon Wands
Ribbon wands give a similar effect as streamers but without the mess. These wands could make for an easy DIY project with your personalized color palette, custom length of ribbons, bells/charms or other accessories that are meaningful to you!
Patriotic Options
Some military couples may choose handheld American flags, Arch of Swords or fireworks to end their celebration in patriotic fashion!
Signature Dance
Showcase those signature dance moves as you sashay off the dance floor!
Unique Transportation
Celebrate your special day with a send-off unique to you the way this firefighter did with his beautiful bride!
Whether you choose horse & carriage or ride on horseback, this option makes for an unforgettable grand entrance or send-off!
Butterflies
Releasing butterflies is a meaningful way to begin your marriage as butterflies signify new beginnings and joy. Imagine that as your guests release the butterflies it’s almost like releasing blessings and good wishes to the start of your beautiful life together!
*Ensure that you find a butterfly release company that protects the safety of the butterflies.
Doves
Releasing a pair of doves is a meaningful way for the couple to celebrate the beginning of their married life symbolizing hope, love, fidelity, happiness and peace.
