7 Ceremony and Reception Exit Ideas
We all want that special moment—the one of two newlyweds swept up in happiness, surrounded by family and friends as they’re showered with petals, confetti, etc. Here’s a mix of 10 tradition and modern exit ideas that are sure to create that special moment (and photo!) you’ve dreamed of.
Ribbon Wands
We LOVE this colorful ceremony exit! Give your guests ribbon wands before the ceremony so they can wave and cheer for the start of your life as a married couple. Get them in your wedding colors from places like Etsy, or ask your planner for the name of a local vendor. You can even get bells attached—an Irish wedding tradition!

Sparklers
A gorgeous option for a glowing reception or evening ceremony exit. Be sure to use extra long sparklers—it’ll give you plenty of time to stroll down the aisle, and for your photographer to grab the perfect photo!

Petals
Attention romantic brides! This one’s for you. What’s more romantic than being showered with flower petals and your and your honey stroll hand-in-hand, ready to being the next step of your journey together? Petals are a great option, as they tend to float through the air on their way down, leaving plenty of time for your photographer to capture a beautiful photo.
