    okay I have know this for ages but little miss flowergirl would like to know what she is throwing..and what the guests will be throwing or waving afterwards.

    i really wanted to do balloons that people let off as we walked down the aisle but alas no balloons.  I'm not crazy about seeds and while pom poms are adorable they don't really match our woodland fairie butterfly theme.  Butterflies, trees and tea (a symbol of friendship) are major themes.

    Any suggestions? I'd like to make the container that our flowergirl is carrying. She is wearing a crown of fairie lights in her hair.

    Bubbles or wildflower seed- thats if they are cool with wildflowers popping up all over the following year. :P Or you can buy these popper thingies.....strings of paper shoot out but, they stay attached o the sinside of the object that spring the paper out resulting in no mess. I will find out what they are called if I can and come back to you.

    I'm usually not a fan of bubbles, but it would match the woodland fairy theme. 

    I'm not sure what she should throw {is lavender allowed?} but you should make the container covered in moss. It would be neat, like it was in the woods.

    Something like this:

    It would look so neat in the pictures.

    Ribbon wands would be cute with your theme:

    Mrs. Avocado did the ecofetti and I'm pretty sure that's what we are going to do. I also am not a big fan of the bubbles but I love the idea with you theme.

    What about fresh lavender or tea leaves?  Add a little aromatherapy to your ceremony :)
