Nighttime Grand Exit! Help?!?

Mrs0, on September 3, 2013 at 7:33 PM Posted in Planning 0 10

My wedding ends at 11PM and I was very excited to do a sparkler grand exit, only to learn that my venue doesn't allow sparklers! They also don't allow confetti. My maid of honor is getting married 3 weeks before me and is doing floating lanterns, so I don't want to copy her. Does anyone have ideas for a grand exit at night that will be visible?

    Glow sticks? Those streamer wands but made with glow in the dark material? LED candles or light wands?

    Does the venue let you throw petals maybe? Since they're biodegradable.

    Best of luck with your wedding, hope you find something you two will like instead of sparklers (lovely idea BTW)

    I second the idea for glow sticks. I've actually seen a couple photos recently on Pinterest using them!

    Glow sticks! And tell the photographer. I also can't use anything like sparklers or confetti and a photographer showed me some neat shots she took with glow sticks.

    We did bubbles and with the few lights around the outside of the venue, it actually came out really gorgeous and twinkly in pictures!

    Thanks everyone, these are all very helpful!

    Maybe release glowing balloons?! I like that idea!

    I like the bubble idea too if it shows up. @Maggie N. do you have a picture of the bubbles at night?

    @Littlejabz do you have a picture of the tinsel wands at night?

    Please don't release balloons if you're anywhere near a body of water as they kill wildlife ! I like glowsticks or tinsel wands....

    I'm getting married in the Phoenix area as well, and we're doing glow sticks Smiley smile.

    I just found out I can't do sparklers, either. Super bummed. I'm debating between bubbles and confetti. I'll keep combing the interwebs to see what I can find.
