As Pretty as the Petals!
by Guest Blogger: Geeta Sachdeva
The throwing of rice at weddings has been a time honored tradition. However, many couples opt to throw bubbles or confetti, since raw rice grains may be harmful for birds.
But, for the ultimate in style and grandeur, there’s nothing that beats a rose petal toss. Not only will they fill the air with the most wonderful aroma, your pictures will turn out absolutely glamorous!
At my wedding, I really felt as if I had stepped back into the time of kings and queens, when guests sprinkled marigold petals over us right after we exchanged our vows. In the Indian tradition, it represents the showering of good wishes for a long and happy married life.
Whatever way you choose to adapt this ancient custom, try to make a personal style statement by using a little creativity and imagination. How about personalizing the toss holders (vellum cones or glassine envelopes) with these beautiful Falling Petals stickers? Though they look beautiful on these mint tins, the stickers can also be purchased without the tins through Wedding Paper Divas.
