Traditionally most items thrown at the bride and groom represent fertility and abundance. However, some ceremony sites do not allow rice to be thrown because it is hard to clean up or some believe it may be harmful to our feathered bird friends.
A few eco-friendly alternatives to throwing rice or confetti are bird Seed, sunflower seeds, and dried leaves. Other trendy tosses include rose petals or other blooms, releasing butterflies, and environmentally-friendly and self-cleaning, biodegradable ecofetti. Any of these items can be placed and in a decorative mesh bag and hung on the guests’ chairs at the ceremony, they can double up as wedding decorations.
The bridal industry offers other items such as blowing bubbles or waving lit sparklers at the departing couple. Just don't ask us what those symbolize.
