Every couple dreams of a wedding ceremony that is not only memorable but also reflects their unique personalities. One delightful way to finalize the ceremony and kick off the celebration is with a confetti toss during the wedding ceremony exit. The confetti toss adds a joyful energy amongst the couple and their guests and creates a whimsical looking atmosphere that perfectly encapsulates the essence of the newlywed’s union. In this blog post, we’ll explore how to perfect the confetti toss for a wedding ceremony exit that will leave a lasting impression on both the couple and their guests.
Choosing the Right Confetti:
The first step in creating the perfect confetti toss is selecting the right confetti. There are various options available, ranging from traditional rice to biodegradable options like flower petals or even eco-friendly paper confetti. Consider your wedding theme and colours when choosing confetti to ensure it complements the overall aesthetic. I personally adore a true flower petal toss. The petals are typically large enough that when documented in a photograph you can clearly see them. But, they are delicate enough that it adds that soft, romantic, joyful feeling to your images without distracting from the two of you.
Timing Is Key:
To capture that perfect confetti moment, timing is crucial. Typically, this moment occurs just after the officiant pronounces the couple as married and they begin their walk back up the aisle. This ensures that the confetti toss smoothly transitions everyone from ceremony to celebration. The key here is to make sure that your guests know to gently toss the petals or confetti as you are walking by them, they want to avoid tossing it pre-maturely.
Provide Confetti Cones or Bags:
To streamline the confetti toss and avoid any confusion, provide guests with confetti cones or bags. This not only adds an elegant touch but also ensures that confetti is distributed evenly. You can place the cones or bags in a decorative basket near the entrance or assign a member of the wedding party to distribute them before the ceremony begins.
Coordinate with Your Venue:
If you are dreaming of having a confetti exit, ensure you communicate this with your venue. Some locations may have guidelines to follow surrounding what types of confetti you may use. Not all confetti is easy to clean up and if a venue hosts multiple weddings in a weekend they may prefer you choose an option that can easily be removed from the space.
Encourage Guest Participation:
Create a sense of unity and excitement by encouraging guests to actively participate in the confetti toss. Include a note in your wedding program or have the officiant make an announcement inviting everyone to join in the celebration. This involvement not only enhances the experience but also ensures a shower of love and well-wishes for the newlyweds.
The confetti toss wedding ceremony exit is a whimsical way to conclude your wedding ceremony. By carefully choosing the right confetti, coordinating with your vendors, and encouraging guests to participate, you can create a picture-perfect moment that will be cherished by both you and your guests. The confetti toss during your ceremony exit is such a delightful way to symbolize the beginning of a lifetime filled with love, joy, and unforgettable memories.
