You love the pictures of brides in magazines running with their groom being showered with petals. It signifies the celebratory feeling everyone in attendance at your wedding has right after you've said "I Do."

But many venues are saying a big NO to the petal toss. No one clean them up so they get ground into the carpet or cement leaving stains, they blow off into the wind in an un-ecofriendly whoosh, or they disappear under chairs and pews wreaking havoc for the clean up crew.

Soo... Sooo... Sad.

But wait! I have 5 petal tossing alternatives that could meet your ceremony send off needs.

1. Ecofetti- Confetti and rice was banned long before petals (no so good for the birds) so this great alternative was created in various colors and it dissolves with water. Great outdoors, probably not for inside- still a little messy.

2. Ribbon Wands- Bachelorette Trista and Ryan's fairy tale wedding made these wands a fab alternative to the petal toss. Coordinated with your colors not only are they a great send off but also a dÃ©cor accessory.

3. Ring the Bells- We don't all have a great church bells to ring post nuptials so an idea from Darcy Miller of Martha Stewart Weddings was just right. She gave the guests of the Today Show Breakfast at Tiffany's wedding mini Tiffany bells to ring as the bride and groom exited.

4. Bubbles- I did these at my wedding and I loved them. When I look at the wedding video and photos everyone was having so much fun acting like a little kid blowing bubbles. Especially our Grandma's! It was also so dreamy and romantic on a hot summer's day.

5. Organic Material- For winter weddings I think it'd be cool to have the green bits of cedar branches cut up into pieces and thrown (none of the hard bits), for the fall autumn leaves. For the summer, make an arch out of huge ostrich feathers that you fan as the bride and groom walk through, for the spring bird seed can act like rice.

Bridal Advice

Don't be sad without petals. There are lots of fun and creative ways to craft your ceremony exit. Play with the theme of your wedding and use a ceremony send off that enhances everyone's experience and makes your pictures look great!
