The first dance has been done and the cake's been cut—now it's time for the grand finale. It's easy to make your wedding exit just as exciting as your entrance with a little help from your guests.

"Such a fun and personal way to end the night!"

希瑟Balliet是一个事件策划者和设计师有超过13年的一的一类体验设计的婚礼。她的主人Amorology,一家位于加利福尼亚事件的协调和设计公司。
Whether you're timing it at the very end of the special night or as you depart from your ceremony venue, en route to the reception, this fun tradition is always super fun and interactive for everyone. "Send-offs on the dance floor!" exclaims Balliet. "We have seen a lot of our couples combine both their last dance with their send-off and have everyone gather together on the dance floor as the night comes to an end." And who can forget those史诗照片被捕获的结果呢?
While Balliet mentions that streamers are the favorite send-off request, she's executed everything from wheat to oats to rose petals. "For our oatmeal loving couple, we incorporated oats into their décor and had their guests hand-toss oats as they left for the night," she recalls. And don't fret if you're tackling the wedding details sans planner or are sticking to a budget. "Get creative," advises Balliet. "Using confetti, glow sticks, and bubbles can all be budget-friendly and simple for the to-be-weds to organize."
From streamers to sparklers to balloon releases and beyond, here are our favorite wedding send-off ideas.
点燃方式随着柱蜡烛
Your guests can light the way out withromantic pillar candles所以你并通过烛光的甜蜜海你的爱离开。或者,齐齐免提方式,并创建一个烛光过道,而你的客人在涌出你们两个。“我们最喜欢的欢送的部分总是让给一个大大的拥抱我们的新婚夫妇,因为我们与所有他们的客人送不送,” Balliet说。昏暗的室内和夜间的庆祝活动是一点点的浪漫光芒完美的环境,但请考虑使用votives保护火焰(和其他人!)。
释放气球
有你的客人释放的海洋biodegradable气球腾空而起一个真正令人振奋的时刻。One of Balliet's brides甚至创造性地取代传统的观念留言簿通过有客人来配合他们的良好祝愿气球和集体从阳台上释放他们。这是最好的一个白天的婚礼,所以你可以为气球升入天空观看。
有一个气球抛
Don't fret if your wedding is indoors. A playful balloon toss is just as magical and possibly even far more fun. Have your guests toss them towards you and your spouse as you attempt to dodge them or return the volley. Choose colors and textures that befit your wedding style and venue and wait for the fun-filled photos.
扔亮片
你不能有亮片如果你希望出错for a super sparkly exit. Plan a sequin toss for daytime festivities or in a well-lit area as the sequins will need a source of light to refract for optimal glimmer. We recommend having a sequin or glitter toss somewhere with hard flooring (like pavement or wood) rather than grass or sand as cleanup is much easier.
Set Off Confetti Poppers
Like glitter, the confetti will explode everywhere and make forcolorful pictures。有较少的火花和光泽,但更容易清理。替换传统的五彩纸屑与可生物降解的版本这么折腾你的周围场地的自然景观也不会受到影响。
“试想,如果你的场地需要你拿起任何欢送项目,”建议Balliet。“我们一直在场地整个晚上凌晨收集纸屑的每一点!”
A Flameless Approach
Some venues aren't entirely amenable to the idea of open flames. So what substitute can provide couples with equally spectacular visuals without breaking the rules? If you're looking for a no-flame sparkler consider lighted branches, glow sticks, fiber-optic wands, or LED balloons. Battery-operated lighted branches or wands offer a similar effect to actual sparklers.
Toss Sprinkles
对于一个额外的美味退出,有客人来折腾一把小雨your way. Did you know you can buy sprinkles in bulk, up to 25 pounds? We'd say that's a prettysweetdeal. And, if you want to go for an all-out theme consider having your wedding cake decorated with the little delights or opt for a layer of funfetti.
飞纸飞机
Imagine paper airplanes soaring back and forth above the scene as you and your honey walk toward the getaway car. We're not talking about the kind of paper airplanes you threw back and forth in eighth-grade geometry, either. Make yours out of origami or craft paper in hues that complement your wedding colors. It's one of the most whimsical, one-of-a-kind wedding send-off ideas.
折腾薰衣草
"A favorite of ours is lavender," says Balliet. "Not only is the color stunning, but bunches of lavender smell amazing and create such a romantic feel." Alavender tosswould be especially lovely at a wedding in the spring or summer and adds a bit of provincial French flair to any occasion. You can also incorporate other dried flowers like chamomile or calendulas to the mix.
A Hindu Vidaai Ceremony
For Hindu brides, theVidaaiceremony is a deeply emotional send-off finalizing the end of the wedding festivities. At this time, the bride gives her heartfelt farewells to her parents before leaving with her new spouse. As she exits, she tosses rice and coins over her head as a symbolic show of gratitude for the lifetime of love and prosperity she was given by her parents.
Toss Birdseed
While there is no truth to the rumors of rice being dangerous to a bird's digestion, birdseed tosses have gained tremendous popularity as a result. Sustainable, eco-friendly, and easy on the budget, this alternative is a win in our books. Just be sure to orchestrate the send-off during the day time so the birds can actually assist with the cleanup.
Both rice and bird seeds have similar physical structures that can cause people to slip and fall when walking over them. Exercise caution if the toss is occurring in places with hard surfaces like pavement, wood, or tile.
摇旗
Flags and pennants are a great way to personalize your send-off and custom tailor the event. You can have simple flags of your wedding colors, assert your fandom for a favorite team or alma mater, or show off your new monogram or crest.This couple有客人摇旗与桂冠环绕其最初的字母组合,持有感伤的意义对他们的象征。
Plan a Second Line Parade
A second line parade is a longstandingNew Orleans wedding traditionthat has the newlyweds, bridal party, and wedding guests take to the streets in a celebratory fashion. The procession is often accompanied by a brass band and led by a grand marshall. Traditionally, the newlyweds lead with parasols or umbrellas.
加入游行游行
婚礼parades aren't only limited to NOLA locales, traditional processions of the wedding party and guests are cultural mainstays throughout Mexico and other Hispanic countries. These are subject to much fanfare including professional dancers, mariachi bands, and group tequila shots along the way. “The exit and parade will forever be some of the best minutes of my life, holding Jeremy’s hand and smiling wildly while we danced through town,” recalls新娘希拉里。
