Rose petals for sure. Very elegant.

I love rose petals, but it depends on your venue. Will you have guests toss the petals outside or inside? Some places don’t like rose petals on the floor due to them being smashed by guests’ feet.

Bubbles are nice if you can get bottles that are easy to open (no chance of spilling while trying to get the sucker open.)

hmm, i like bubbles better because of the way they look in photos. Guess I’m not much help

I’m pondering the exact same decision! Although, if I go with bubbles, I won’t give out bottles to all of the guests — I was thinking of just handing out bubble guns to our two nephews and letting them go wild.

I love the way both look, and we’re doing the toss outside, so there won’t be a mess to clean up. Then again, I don’t have to worry about possible stains with petals.

Argh! I’m no help. Let me know what you decide!!

Rose petals for me. I always have a heck of a time with blowing bubbles. Besides, I’d rather throw something up in the air than have to make a kissing face at a little stick.

bubbles: more modern. weddings have enough flowers already in my opinion.

there are bubble machines ($5 - chinatown street vendors on canal in nyc) that make a whole bunch at one time ….the nice large ones too! from someone just holding down a button.

you could do that with guests blowing for extra effect or without out guest bottles and that would definitely be enough for the effect seen in your pic.

good luck!

If you get bubbles, I suggest the bubble guns rather than giving out little bottle of bubbles to people. At a wedding this summer, I was concentrating so hard on blowing bubbles out of a minature wand that I missed the couple coming out of the church!

Rose petals. They’re so much more classic than bubbles. Bubbles just seem a little childish and/or trendy to me. I like the playfulness, but I’m a classic kind of girl.

I love the look of all of these. I agree that bubbles do have a potential for messes. But do you have to consider picking up the petals afterwards? If so, then bubbles it is!

Question though: how do you *arrange* this? The couple walks out of the church/venue first, right? So does a BM ask guests to wait outside while you and the groom go back inside to take photos inside?
