Create a "Picture Perfect" moment straight from the movies! Just imagine you & your new hubby leaving your wedding ceremony, blissful...you are being showered by beautiful fresh rose petals.
* Will guests know what to do...when to toss your rose petals?
* Will your photographer capture the moment?
* You can have a "Picture Perfect" rose petal toss with very little effort! A few simple things to consider.
* When should you have the petal toss?
* The toss is often done on the steps of the church as the bride and groom walk outside.
* If you are having an outdoor wedding location you may consider having the toss during your recession from the ceremony.
* We have known many brides that choose to do their toss at the reception site as the wedding party enters and is announced by the band or DJ.
* Some even choose to toss at the first dance.
* Remember, it is your special day. It should be exactly as you dreamed it would be.
How to distribute your Rose Petals?
* If you're plan to do the petal toss during your recession, each guest should receive an organza bag, clear petal bag or cone filled with petals at the same time that they are handed the wedding program. You will need about 1 cup per sachet or cone.
* For a traditional toss outside the church, place the cones, clear petal bags or organza bags filled with your petals & place them in a shallow box or basket.
* You can fill your bags or cones 1 day ahead of time if using our fresh rose petals. Simply store them in a cool, dry & dark place until you need them.
* Place the boxes or basket at the exits of the ceremony where attendants and ushers can hand them out.
* You can also choose to have ushers hold large baskets full of loose petals. As your guests exit the ceremony site the ushers can instruct them to take a small handful for tossing. This normally takes about 1 cup per guest.
Guests: How to use the petals?
* You want to make sure your guests know exactly what to do with their petals once they have them.
* If you're using petals loose from a basket after the ceremony, your ushers can simply spread the word as they encourage guests to take a handful to toss.
* Some of the most successful tosses are those where the couple attaches "instructions" to the toss packet. The tags can be printed out on your home computer and don't be afraid to have some fun with it.
Here's one suggestion:
"To toss in the air & sprinkle around To shower the newlyweds so that joy will abound. When [bride] and [groom] exit as a pair, please toss your petals high in the air!"
Final Tips
* If you're still concerned about capturing the moment perfectly, consider giving special instruction to a select group of people who can lead the way and ensure your success.
* Consider asking the groomsmen, your younger cousins or even a few of your high school friends.
* Simply ask them to be sure to toss the petals...even cheer or whistle at the right time. All of the guests will follow suit and you'll have your magical "Picture Perfect" moment!
* Make sure your photographer knows what your plan is for the petal toss, so that moment can be captured for you to enjoy for years to come...It is truly a magical moment!
* Your photographer may also play a part in making sure guests are gathered and ready for your grand petal toss or getaway.
Finally...Relax, have fun & enjoy every magical moment!
