• Get a couples massage

• Invite all your friends over to play a classic board game
• Stay active–take a walk together, play in the waves at the beach or participate in some other kind of physical activity you both enjoy
• Get away for a while! Take a hike or rent a canoe at the local lake–just find a beautiful spot where you can be alone and relax together

I love the look of rice thrown or petals tossed in the air! Brides look so pretty in pictures that capture falling roses and rice which looks like snowfall in photographs. As a child, I would think about this scene over and over in my head. Now with the chance to plan my own wedding, I find out that the site I’m getting married at does not allow either! While I was initially bummed, it also forced me to find creative ways to still keep the romantic mood of the day. A lot of sites, especially if they are historical sites like mine’s is, want to keep their locations clean. With other brides-to-be in the same boat, I hope you’ll find some inspiring ideas to help you with this minor obstacle. I’ve thought about having bubbles blown by guests which makes whimsical photographs and would be fun for kids. And because I couldn’t shake the idea of falling rose petals, I was ecstatic to see that Wedding Paper Divas has a wedding suite designed with this image. Don’t you think their Falling Petals wedding invitation in Black Russian is so elegant and pretty?
