Hello readers! I thought I would start a new monthly (maybe weekly?) post about weddings! Wedding inspiration, wedding photos, and tips for planning weddings on a budget and with a unique style. Since my fiance and I started planning our own wedding, we have learned a lot of dos and don’ts. Looking forward to sharing our latest experiences and inspiration with all of you!
Today I’d like to talk about the grand exit. There are tons of ways to go out with a bang. Zachary and I went back and forth on a few ideas, but we settled on one that I think is really *us*. Of course I have to save some things for our actually wedding, so I’ll be keeping ours a surprise. But here are some of my favorite ideas (images via my Pinterest) :
The Sparkler:
Tip: Make sure you have a few people in charge of lighting, since sparklers go out fast! Lighting 5-10 at the same time seems to work best at the weddings I’ve shot.
Lanterns:
SO beautiful, right? Perfect for a fairytale exit – magic!
Signage:
I think these are adorable – totally something you could DIY (yes, that’s a verb now).
Ribbon wands:
Another DIY project! So fun : )
Exit via bicycle:
It might take a bit of practice, but exiting on a tandem bike would be a blast! Borrow one from a friend or rent one for the day at your local bike shop to try it out!
Hot air balloon?:
Okay, this might be a bit of a stretch for those of us on a budget – but I had to post it anyway! How amazing would this be?
So how would you make your grand exit? I’d love to hear your ideas!

Alicia O'Neil - Oh my gracious! Tandem bike?!? What the hecka! That is sooo cute though only someone who was super graceful could pull that off! I would totes rip my dress or something horrible like that. I vote weekly.
