Flower Girl and Send-off Alternatives?

Kaitlyn, on July 29, 2019 at 3:59 PM Posted in Planning 0 13

So we booked our venue!! I'm so relieved, and anyone who's been following any of my threads knows what a hard time I've been having.

That being said, we booked an event room and amphitheater that are in a nature center, and as such, we can't have confetti, glitter, sparklers or balloons and if we have rose petals, we have to make sure that they're all picked up afterwards (which is a pain if we don't end up having a DOC).

I totally understand the impact that all those things have on wildlife and I want to be respectful of that, but the only alternative that's been presented to us is bubbles. Which I think is totally cute, but I was wondering if anyone else had any other ideas!

    How about something like this? You can take a hole puncher and do confetti made from leaves!

    Yes, I like the leaf-hole punch idea. I read somewhere that you can get biodegradeable confetti too, which is probably very similar to the leaves. Maybe ask your venue about that, as it would be a lot less work if you could just buy it somewhere, rather than having to make it all yourself.

    I'd have to ask them, I don't know how similar it would be to rose petals in their opinion. But I would definitely get it pre-made because I do not have the patience, nor does anyone I know, to sit and hole punch leaves for hours!

    That might be a cute send off idea! I did just read about ringing little bells as well.

    Maybe bubbles for the flower girls, just so they have something cute to do?

    That's cute!!! I hadn't thought about this before, but we have our rental for 10am-10pm at the center, so we could do an earlier ceremony and reception that way it's still light out when we have our send off.
