Unique Wedding Departure Ideas

Are you looking for a unique departure idea for your wedding?  Well I can promise you, your not alone.  Many brides are tired of the traditional send off ideas we have all seen a hundred times.  If you are tired of the bubble or sparkler send off for your departure, try a few of these unique ideas.

Glow Sticks

A fun idea for a wedding send off is glow sticks!  Not only do you not have to worry about people throwing things at you, they end up looking great in pictures (especially if you are leaving when it is dark outside).

Balloons

A great idea for a wedding departure during the day is a balloon release.  I love that you can choose the balloon color to match the wedding as well!

Beach Balls

You don’t have to get married on the beach to use beach balls for your departure.  If you plan on a beach honeymoon, beach balls are a great way to say farewell!

Pom Poms

Do you have a favorite sports team?  Why not use pom poms of your favorite team or even of your wedding colors.

A unique idea you can use is paper airplanes.  You can even have custom airplanes made to match the wedding!

Wedding Balloons: A “Do” or a “Don’t”?

When you think about balloons you probably think about kids birthday parties but many brides are using balloons as wedding decor!  Let’s face it, balloons do make you feel happy and isn’t that what a wedding is all about?  I had my reservations about balloons at weddings but after seeing some of these ideas I just might be changing my mind.  Take a look at all the ways brides are incorporating balloons in to their weddings and let me know what you think!

A super cute first look idea we have mentioned before is to use balloons for your first look. Just hold the balloons in front of your faces and release them when you are ready to see each other for the first time!

There are many ways brides are using balloons to decorate their ceremony.  You can use over sized balloons as pew ends or for a modern look use balloons to create a backdrop for the ceremony!

A cute idea is to have your flower girl carry a large balloon down the aisle instead of dropping petals.  I love this idea for an outdoor wedding!

For the reception, a few large balloons make a pretty backdrop for a cake table.

For a unique look, use balloons for the table numbers! If you use large balloons it almost creates a canopy of balloons!

Even if you decide not to use balloons as decor for the wedding, they do make a great photography prop!
