I was one of those brides who had the unfortunate experience of switching event coordinators at the venue. Donna did an incredible job and the transition was very smooth, except for the agreements previously made about what Hotel 1000 would allow our guests to throw at us at the end of the night. I was frustrated, to put it mildly, when I was told that all of the ecofetti I had invested in was no longer allowed. I forwarded them back the email from the previous coordinator, packed up the ecofetti, and decided that I would instruct the DOC to hand out the packets no matter what.
My rebellion against the system wasn’t even necessary because Donna ended up telling me just before dinner that we could go ahead and do the exit with the ecofetti. I don’t know that it will be so, but I hope that after seeing these photos, Hotel 1000 will allow brides to have this environmentally friendly option at their own weddings.
This was the second time that day that we were greeted by cheers, clapping, and whistles when we walked outside of a building. I absolutely loved it!
In the next 5 photos I can be found smiling, laughing hysterically, ducking, batting ecofetti out of my way, etc. Mr. Avocado has the same look of relaxed excitement on his face the entire time. It says, “I’m so happy this is finally over.”
As you can imagine, my dress was filled with ecofetti. The ‘V’ in the front created a kind of pocket that gathered a whole handful!
I love the warm colors in this guest photo.
Has anyone else noticed that Mr. Avocado really hasn’t been covered in much ecofetti yet? Don’t worry, his time is coming.
If you look closely at my right hand, you can see the custom ring from our cake topper.
As I leaned forward to give Mamacado a kiss goodbye, the groomsmen came out of nowhere and got my new husband right in the face! I love that I’m experiencing this special moment with my mother, while he is in the middle of an ecofetti storm.
Don’t you just love the look on GM Nate’s face in the far right corner of his photograph?
And it just kept coming.
Suavacado couldn’t get away without one last pat on the head by the Best Man to make sure the ecofetti was there to stay.
I love me some in-camera motion blur. Let’s get out of here husband!
Kelli Nicole wound up covered in ecofetti after this experience, as well.

The ecofetti looked so fun and what a great find!
What a festive way to end your wedding celebration! I love the blurred shots — possibly best!
This just made me think of you…http://www.i-do-it-yourself.com/2009/02/flickr-find-candy-buttons/
I love this post. Great pictures and what a way to end your amazing day!
Looks like your guests had a lot of fun tossing the econfetti 
Can you imagine having rice thrown? Ouch!
oh my goodness. i am literally cracking up at those pics of suav. LOVE it.
I’ve got to check out this ecofetti stuff! I love these getaway pics!
@Lillindy: You know I bookmarked that project long ago! I can’t wait to try it out. I might make it my signature “thing” to give to people for birthdays and such.
I love that you were going to do the ecofetti anyway!! It ended up looking great, I love how happy you two look!!
sooo….
you threw a tantrum because you couldn’t have your ego-fetti, went ahead and instructed people to do it anyway so you could smile for the photos. that’s great.
i love these photos, they are so sweet & kind of dreamy. i especially like the ecofetti attack your new hubs had to endure.
your photos are sooo pretty. the ecofetti adds such a great look to your exit.
You totally have me wanting to a confetti exit now!
I LOVE the photo of Mr. Avocado getting pelted in the face with the ecofetti! Priceless!!
The pictures came out amazing! Adds so much movement to them having the fetti thrown around =)
