5 Unique Alternatives to Throwing Confetti or Rice During Your Wedding Day
First and foremost, please check with your venue to make sure each of these are okay to be used at your wedding venue. Some venues are very specific about the things that you cannot use. With that being said we believe there is nothing better for photo or video after your first kiss than to have your guests throw the confetti as you both walk back down the aisle as newlyweds; however, there is alternatives to confetti or rice.
1. Bubbles
Bubbles on your wedding day is a really cool option as the photos and videos that result from using them are fantastic. Especially when the sun hits the bubbles just right you get that really cool rainbow reflection off of the bubbles. Plus, your guests will have lots of fun helping you make your wedding photos even more magical. You can even have you and your significant other kiss while the bubbles are being blown to get a really fun shot.
2. Flower Petals
Flower petals are such a cool look for your photos. You can match the type of petals to the color and style of the wedding to really make your wedding day photos pop. If you are going for a wedding with blush, dusty blue, and peach you can use rose petals to be thrown. You can buy 2,200 rose petals from amazon for 9.99. If you are instead going for the colors blue and gold for example you can also find blue or gold silk petals online as well.
3. Paper Airplanes
If you provide all of your guest’s paper airplanes they can make their own paper airplane and can fly them over you during pictures with kisses or even as you drive off in the getaway car. Not only does it give you both some amazing pictures, but it will give you some your guests something to talk about on your wedding day.
4. Dried Lavender
Lavender has such a nice scent, and it will give such a look for your wedding day. Your guests can throw in the air as you kiss or as you walk down the aisle for the first time. If you are having wedding colors that match well with the color of lavender it can be a perfect fit.
5. Water-Soluble Glitter
Glitter is always a fun choice. Just make sure it is biodegradable which will make the clean-up much easier on the venue staff. Glitter can give a fun magical atmosphere for your pictures and film.
