Throwing confetti as the couple walks down the aisle or exits their reception is, in our opinion, one of the best wedding traditions! And, while we do love a confetti canon, we totally understand that some couples aren’t comfortable with the idea — and that some venues don’t even allow it. But that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice the fun and excitement of an epic recessional or exit! There are so many confetti alternatives that can help you make your exit in style, and we’ve rounded up our favorites for you today. From flowers to bubbles to smoke bombs, these confetti alternatives are environmentally friendly, hassle-free, and will make for some seriously cool photos!
