Flower Showers, Bubble Showers, and Feather Showers...oh my!

It appears the tradition of throwing rice, symbolizing the bestowing of prosperity on the bride and groom, has become "untraditionalized," evidenced by the fact that in 12 years of planning weddings, we have not once witnessed a wedding where rice was thrown. It is said that the uncooked grains of rice pose health risks to the birds who might eat them. However, several pretty alternatives exist, and make for great photos, too.

One of the most popular in Hawaii, would be the tossing of rose petals. They seem to drift upon the couple, truly highlighting them as the stars of the day.

For guests' ease, petals may be inserted into petal cones like these, designed by Emi Ink, to match with the rest of the couple's wedding stationery.

These petals cones, sweetly affixed to the backs of the chairs, and feature petals in the form of the original rose blooms.


Bubbles make for beautiful photos as well...

As do a mixture of petals, bubbles, and feathers...

Consider the look you would prefer your wedding and choose accordingly. Happy Planning!
