PentecostalMom Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Ds and FDIL are getting married next Friday evening. They will depart the reception at night and the facility that is being used states no combustible materials. Any ideas for alternatives? The wedding is vintage so something along those lines would be nice, but not necessary. Cheap would be good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I am sorry, I don't understand. Cheap, exit that is not combustible? What do you mean by 'exit'? ETA: oh, do you mean like how people sometimes throw rice? How about real rose petals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supertechmom Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Do you mean something to light the path to their car? If so you could paint mason jars with glow in the dark paint and let them sit out in the sun for a few days to get really charged. You could put flowers in them if they are going to be seen in the evening and give as gifts when it is over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Glow in the dark bubbles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica in OR Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Could you put different colors of glow sticks in something? Maybe paper bags to look like luminaria? Erica in OR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tap Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Yes, but it will be dark. No light? How will they see the path to leave on? I know sometimes when people do candlelight vigils they use battery powered tea lights instead. Can you use lanterns with battery candles instead of flame?

GSOchristie Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 We photograph weddings and we have seen comes of rose petals, colored rice, bubbles, ribbon wands, and the sparly fiber optic wands you see at the circus. The bubbles show up very nicely no matter how dark it is because the flash from the camera lights them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catwoman Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Am I the only person who went like this :eek: when I read that the OP somehow considered the "no combustibles rule" to be a problem? :D I think I now understand what she meant, but at first I was wondering if it was common practice to have explosions at wedding receptions. And I was also wondering how I might weasel an invitation to such an occasion, as it sounded sorta cool. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSOchristie Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I think exits are a southern thing. DH's best friend is a photographer in the Midwest and he hardly ever has to stay for the exit, whereas we have to shoot them nearly every week. Here brides leave the reception in between two lines of all the guests waving...something, usually sparklers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I have seen on Pinterest mason jars of glow stick innerds. Could you use those to light the path? And then bubbles? http://www.lilblueboo.com/2011/07/glow-stick-lanterns.html I have never tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
