Diving into the Fad of Grand Exits

Wedding exits have transformed from a once-simple farewell into a show-stopping moment that reflects a couple’s personality and style. With endless creative possibilities, they’re the perfect photo opportunity and leave guests with a lasting impression. Whether you’re seeking an elaborate sendoff or a simple and timeless depart, here are some ideas that will have them buzzing about your big day. 

Light It Up

Keep the spark alive by lighting up your exit—literally. Have your guests create a twinkling archway with sparklers, glow sticks, candles or lanterns in hand. Or kick it up a notch with cold sparks shooting off at the end of the aisle or a firework display.

Dreamy Effects

Maintain the romance of your big day with timeless accents like tossing flower petals, rice, streamers or confetti. Shaking ribbon wands, ringing wedding bells or blowing bubbles also make for magical photos that keep the couple in the foreground.

Think Seasonal

Grand exits can perfectly reflect the season. For winter weddings, consider faux snow flurries falling in the moonlight or mistletoe for smooching at the end of the walkway. Toss mini beach balls across the aisle in summer or throw colorful leaves in the fall.

The Getaway Car

Escaping the party in a memorable vehicle always leaves a lasting impression. Embark on a fairy tale departure with a horse-drawn carriage or leave in style with a party bus, limo or vintage car. More adventurous? Try taking off in a boat, golf cart or motorcycle.
