    I love pics of petals being tossed post ceremony, esp if the photographer captures that perfect shot!  I think most of the time guests forget to toss flowers, so it might be good to remind some friends to sit in the aisle and toss lots of petals or whatever you're having them toss.

    Ecofetti - or at least that's the plan!

    I want confetti, but not teeny tiny shredded eco-fetti... but it has to be eco, since we're doing this outdoors...

    Has anyone used eco-bath papers instead?

    It would be great to have pictures like this:

    We used metallic streamers. Not the most eco-friendly, but our DOC knew in advance that she'd have to sweep them up. Also you can buy the ones that stay hooked to the shooter thingy.

    And then you get pics like this!

    You left "nothing" off the list, so I checked Other.

    I havnt really decided yet.  Our reception hall is below the ceremony site, and I AM NOT cleaning up confetti of any type from that place... that would be a pain in the neck.  We may do a send off after the reception with sparklers or bubbles and glowsitcks... I just really dont want to clean up.  I know that others are supposed to do it, but im picky and want my stuff done right....also the cleaning and damage deposit is riding on the cleanliness when we leave and that is A LOT (doubles the whole fee if paid) that I dont want to risk sine its out of my pocket...

    There's no nothing option, so I checked nothing too.  Our church doesn't allow aanything at all to be tossed, so we figured it wouldn't be very missed.
