So our venue will not allow flower girls to throw flowers or confetti or anything. And send offs can’t be sparklers or have anything thrown. No open flames. I’m stuck! Anything cute my flower girl could do? And any ideas for send off other than bubbles?? I want it to be special and fun!

i even thought of floating wish lanterns but they are illegal in CA. Ideas?

What about something like this for the send off? They arent too expensive and people can take them home after if you dont want them.

As for flower girl, what if she holds a little sign that says "here comes the bride" or something?

It could look something like this with the light wands. They usually come in whatever color you want too

That’s an idea for the sign for my flower girl. I’ll have to browse Etsy now lol.

the wands are interesting but I’m unsure about how they look in the photo. Hmmmm

You're welcome! It's hard finding something that you don't throw!

A few weddings I went to, they planned on doing ribbons and either forgot to or really just didn't want to bother. My daughter was in a wedding last year and all girls just held hands walking down the aisle it was sooooo cute (venue didn't allow anything thrown either)

My venue doesn't allow anything and honestly bubbles are so easy to get I'll do those or not bother. 🤷
We're on the beach so I'm just glad we're not tossing garbage into the ocean

For the flower girls, you can have them carry tiny bouquets or a sign. The sign can be anything, like "Just wait until you see her" or "you could be fishing instead." LOL, one of my flower girls is carrying a sign that says that second one. And for the send off, you could do glow sticks.

Yeah I agree with your point about garbage. Originally I wanted wildflower seeds to be thrown! or doing biodegradable floating lanterns.

Our venue does not allow our flower girls to throw petals either, they gave the suggestion of the girls handing out long stem roses or some type of flower to the people in the aisle seats as they walked by, which seems like a cute idea! We decided to keep it simple and have them walk down with small bouquets.

Thats a good idea! My flower girl is my little sister. She was really torn that she wasn't able to toss flowers. This is a great suggestion, thank you!
