The Tiny House Farm Blog — dried flowers

In years past rice was a traditional way to send a bride and groom on their way as they exited the church. It was meant to be an expression of good wishes for a bountiful harvest, a house full of children, and prosperity. Today we have discovered that rice can hurt wild birds so venues don't allow it any more. So couples have opted for other wedding exit celebrations such as sparklers, pom poms, and ribbon wands.
