Your wedding day is a celebration of love, a gathering of family and friends, and a series of unforgettable moments capped by a grand finale: the wedding exit. Here are some spectacular wedding exit ideas that promise to leave a lasting impression on your guests and create the perfect ending to your special day.
Church Ceremony Exits
1. Bubble Exit
Create a whimsical and picture-perfect moment with a bubble exit. As you and your spouse walk out of the church, guests can blow bubbles, filling the air with shimmering orbs that catch the light and add a magical touch to your departure. This is a fantastic wedding exit idea for churches that prefer a clean and environmentally friendly celebration.
2. Birdseed Toss
For a more traditional and eco-friendly option, consider a birdseed toss. Guests can shower you with birdseed as you make your exit, symbolizing prosperity and good fortune. This natural alternative is safe for the environment and can make for some beautiful, rustic photos.
3. Color Smoke Bombs
For a vibrant and dramatic exit, color smoke bombs are a fantastic choice. These can add a burst of color and create an incredible backdrop for your exit photos. Ensure you check with your church about any restrictions and take safety precautions when using smoke bombs.
Indoor Ceremony Exits
1. Flags or Wands
Add a splash of color and fun with flags or wands. Guests can wave personalized flags or wands as you make your way down the aisle, creating a festive and joyous atmosphere. This is a great way to incorporate your wedding colors and themes into your exit.
2. Rose Petals
A classic and elegant choice, a rose petal exit is both beautiful and romantic. As you leave Clarks Landing, guests can toss delicate rose petals, creating a soft and fragrant pathway. This timeless option complements the elegance of our venue perfectly.
3. Military Honor
Are one or both of you serving in the military? Honor this significant part of your life by exiting under a traditional saber arch. This military tradition not only pays homage to your service but also provides a visually stunning and deeply meaningful moment as you step into your new life together. The clashing of sabers above as you pass underneath symbolizes a safe passage into your future, creating an unforgettable exit and spectacular photo opportunities.
Reception Exit Ideas
1. Picture Perfect Night
End your night on a high note with a fun and memorable photo! As the celebration winds down, take the opportunity to snap a photo with all your guests. You can either make your rounds to each table or gather everyone in the center of the dance floor for one big, epic selfie. This not only serves as a heartfelt farewell but also creates an amazing memory to cherish forever.
2. Hollywood Favorites
For those who love the magic of the movies, tailor your exit to reflect your favorite cinematic moments. Star Wars aficionados can make a grand exit under an archway of glowing Jedi lightsabers, bringing the thrill of the galaxy to your special day. If classic films are your passion, channel your inner Audrey Hepburn or Gregory Peck. Dress in the iconic styles of the 1950s, and make a stylish getaway in a vintage car, allowing you to step out in timeless elegance and wave farewell in classic Hollywood style.
3. Sparkler Send-Off
Imagine walking hand-in-hand with your love under a shimmering archway of sparklers. A popular choice among our Clarks Landing Yacht Club couples is a staged sparkler send-off with your wedding party! It is the perfect way to capture a magical night without the stress and coordination of a traditional send-off. Plus, the photos are always magical.
4. Last Dance
For couples who prefer a more intimate and private moment, a last dance is a perfect option. Joined by your DJ and photographer, you can have a final dance to any song you love, allowing you to soak in the magic of your wedding day one last time. This private moment is a beautiful way to reflect on the day and create a lasting memory as you bid farewell to your guests and each other.
