Stylish Send-Offs

According to the movies, the bride and groom make their getaway in broad daylight to a shower of confetti and good wishes. For some, the environmental impact and hassle of cleaning up paper confetti afterwards takes away from the joy of being showered with it.

Birdseed and flower petals, particularly rose petals, offer an alternative that is environmentally friendly, but will still require some form of clean-up efforts afterwards.

As a wedding accessory that doubles as a wedding favor, many clean-up conscious couples are choosing bubbles as the perfect getaway favor. Small bottles with built-in wands can be found in the shape of champagne bottles, angels, wedding cakes, and churches.

Other clean and simple ideas for terrific send-offs include the ringing of miniature bells adorned with ribbons holding personalized cards or the lighting up of sparklers. Add personalized lighters as wedding favors and your guests not only leave with a great memento of the day, but are also given the opportunity to light all of the sparklers at the same time for a truly amazing photo opportunity.

Confetti with their bright colors, shiny metallic materials, and unique cutout shapes, are much better suited to adorning reception, cake, and gift tables as opposed to being thrown where they need to be cleaned up.

When looking for the perfect send-off to your new life, allow your guests to send you off in style with a spectacular looking, low maintenance, and environmentally friendly wedding favor. Bon Voyage!
